The ultimate gift guide for the entrepreneurial woman

What do you give the girl that seems to have all her shit sorted? This is your ultimate guide to the perfect gift for the boss babe in your life.

Think beyond candles and into unique special somethings, that also support our local entrepreneurial queens. With something for everyone this listicle-feature showcases our favourite small business brands and takes the stress out of shopping (coming from someone who loathes gift giving and receiving).

So, what makes a gift great?

Gift Giving Criteria:

• Something they like but wouldn’t normally spend their own money on

• An experience

• Something personalised

• Something that they use regularly

• Something that lasts a long time

So, with the criteria in mind, here are 10 unique gifts ideas for the boss babe in your life who already has it all…

Custom Keyring

Keyrings are great because they go everywhere with the person. Personalise a key ring with a favourite quote, memory or inside joke so they have a reminder of your friendship wherever they are.

Photoshoot Packages

Photoshoot packages are beautiful gifts for anyone and supporting local creatives is just a bonus. The photoshoot experience can be chaotic but always fun and the images will let them hold onto memories forever. You could do family portraits, couples shoots or photos of their pets. If she is brave and you want to give her a push sign her up for a single portrait or boudoir session to boost that confidence. If she’s an entrepreneur get some professional photos of her business, products and herself.

Subscription Services

This one is a little more expensive, but subscription services are an amazing gift. Some options for subscriptions can include:

• Streaming services like Netflix or Disney+

• Other online services like Adobe Suite is fantastic if they are creative or learning platforms like SkillShare

• Monthly gift boxes – this one is super fun because there is something for everyone from monthly wine subscriptions to beauty packs or foodie selections

Illustrations/Art

Support a local artist and get a personalised unique artwork. Once again there are so many options for personalised pieces from portraits of your recipient, their families or favourite animal. You can get quotes, or commission a piece that resonates with their aesthetic. Art is such a brilliant gift because it will stay with them forever. Your gift can travel to all their new houses, offices and rooms with them

Skincare

Everyone loves some good skin care products but think beyond bath bombs and hand cream. Think of brands or tools that they may be curious to try but aren’t willing to fork over the money.

@cheek_puffs – Reusable Face Rounds

Beverage Treats

You can’t go wrong with some alcohol or a little treat. Give them something new to try with these boutique beverages.

Flower Delivery

There is something special about receiving flowers, no matter the occasion. Gift some gorgeous blooms or let them get hands on with some of the DIY arrangement kits.

Experiences

Experiences are one thing you can never have too many of. It’s a great gift because it can be as big or little as you want, and you can let them do it themselves or tag along for some extra bonding time.

@glenworthvalley - Outdoor Adventures

Games and Group Activities

Spending time with others is the greatest gift anyone could receive. Give them more opportunities with something that’s brings people together.

Books

A good book can go a long way. If they’re not the type to sit and read, look for a journal with prompts or something to document their adventures.
