6 Sweet Gifts for an Awesome Entrepreneur
While it’s easy to think of entrepreneurs as people who have no time for the pleasures and delights of life, the truth is that they simply love great innovation–in any context. Thus, they will appreciate any gestures or presents that take them by surprise in design or functionality.
This article highlights six excellent gifts that will surely impress every entrepreneur, especially if they are the trendy type. Go through these suggestions to discover what to wrap up in a gift box for your entrepreneurial friend, relative, or colleague.
A Productivity Planner
Although entrepreneurs are driven by passion for their businesses, they can still find it challenging to stay on track. Not every entrepreneur is super organized–although it certainly helps if they are! In fact, being a touch disorganized or lacking focus can be why some new ventures fail; coming up with entrepreneurial ideas is not enough on its own.
The entrepreneur has a lot on their plate, so they have to create plans, remain accountable to their commitments, and look out for issues that come up out of the blue.
And before you say that these responsibilities come with the job, entrepreneurs also grapple with tons of distractions that could easily steer them off course. However, an excellent Productivity Planner sporting useful efficiency hacks can give insights to keep them on the straight and narrow. To cite one example, the so-called Pomodoro Approach helps the entrepreneur to get more from their precious working hours, as detailed here.
Apart from that, a Productivity Planner will prove handy when it comes to taking note of weekly or daily objectives. Things can even be stepped up further with productivity ratings to help quantify accomplishments. Furthermore, users can document their wins and utilize in-built strategies for monitoring time tracking.
A Portable Hydro Flask
If the entrepreneur you want to impress loves carrying home-made beverages to work–such as fruit smoothies to aid their concentration–then a hydro flask will undoubtedly be an excellent gift. These items work incredibly well when it comes to keeping cold drinks cold and hot beverages hot, but they can also be super stylish and well-sized for a small case or carry-on bag.
The beauty of one of these is that they come in many innovative finishes, colors and styles, to suit the individual’s creative flair. Moreover, they come with a well-functioning lock, and are set to ensure zero spillage and go just about anywhere with someone who never stays still.
Some such flasks–unlike the ancient Thermos flask everyone’s grandpa has in the back of the cupboard–even hold a small cage-like filter in the center, allowing fresh fruits, supplements, greens, rock salt or whatever you like to ‘feed’ the drink. These flasks come in a variety of high-tech materials from modern polycarbs to powder-coated metals, marrying form and function perfectly.
Stylish, Super-Cool Socks
When we say super-cool, we mean on-trend.
An entrepreneur needs to look classy, feel comfortable, and stay warm throughout their workday, but how can they when it begins at the crack of dawn and ends really late, with the in-between time filled with dashing from this meeting to that?
Many entrepreneurs are used to carrying spare shirts with them so that they can change–but the worst feeling of all is to have clammy, sweaty or simply tired-out, overheated feet when you’re stuck at the office.
So much focus is given to suits, shirts and shoes while giving little thought to something very important: socks. But what else provides class, comfort, and warmth at the same time?
Extremely important in any entrepreneur’s sock choice is that unusual mix of style and functionality, and that’s why supplying your entrepreneur with some extremely well-made socks is a great idea. We recommend something along the lines of a fine pinstriped pair of socks (or several pairs) in which the old-school, traditional pattern of fine alternating stripes meets up with cool cotton fabric, and vibrant, on-trend colors. This is a marriage of three things any discerning entrepreneur loves: prestige–style–and functionality.
Here, these finely woven socks sport a familiar design yet an on-point color scheme, and they will keep the feet dry and warm without being clammy–allowing the feet to breathe. An especially daring trendy entrepreneur could also mix-and-match the colors–one orange, one purple!
These entrepreneurs just love to live on the edge…
Tile Mate
Have you ever forgotten where you have put your keys and searched hours for them? Well, of course you have. And if you’re a trendy entrepreneur with a mountain of things to remember, you’re more likely than anyone to lose your car keys. Tiredness and brain fatigue are likely culprits.
In fact, many business owners admit to working more hours after they started their own businesses than when they were employed. According to Business Matters Magazine, SME owners work about 17 days of overtime on average every year. Actually, that does not sound like a lot… we’re sure that most entrepreneurs put in way more time.
Anyway, what was I talking about…? Oh, yes! Forgetfulness, and losing things. Well, there is a very handy solution to losing car keys and small items, and it’s called Tile Mate. This nifty, flat, tiny metal plate that’s a handy size for a keyring or wallet incorporates a tracker device–and it’s so small, it fits anywhere. This is the ultimate solution for tracking lost things and an excellent gift for a business person (unless they lose it before setting it up…).
Tile Mate attaches to personal items like keys, phone, wallet, etc. When you cannot find an item to which you have attached Tile Mate, simply wake up the app on your phone to track it. The app uses Bluetooth to find lost things and activates a noise to help you locate it. Therefore, it is not ‘live’ all the time but activates when required. These devices are a great talking point for a trendy tech lover.
A Virtual Laser Keyboard
Most entrepreneurs, whether they are in the office or not, are constantly working to ensure that their business is running successfully. That’s why getting them a laser keyboard is a genius idea.
So, what exactly does this keyboard offer?
It allows a user to type regardless of where they are. One doesn’t have to be in the office to write a report, since this clever portable device creates a trendy keyboard on almost any surface, be it on a bench in the park or a table in a local coffee shop.
The device then uses Bluetooth to pair with your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Since it is a portable gadget, entrepreneurs can get work done wherever they are and enjoy the smooth and seamless experience of simple technology that just gets the job done–always a plus for every entrepreneur.
Noise-Canceling Headphones
Sometimes, it’s impossible to control the environment, and that’s an irritation for the dedicated entrepreneur who finds himself on a noisy train carriage but who needs to finish writing a debrief.
There is no better solution to this problem than a high-quality pair of noise reduction/cancellation headphones. Until you’ve owned a pair, you cannot really imagine how effective they are. These can be real lifesavers–or face-savers, anyway, as the entrepreneur will not have to show up somewhere with a partially completed presentation.
These headphones are useful even at work, since entrepreneurs in the early stages of their businesses don’t usually have the luxury of dedicated offices. And then there’s the growing trend of working from home and open-plan offices or coworking spaces.
A pair of noise-reducing headphones can help improve concentration and productivity, especially when paired with focus boosting music, as recommended by Inc.
Buy this gift for a versatile entrepreneur who always has top trends in mind.
