The Christmas Gift Guide for the Working Woman Who Already Has Everything

by Solange Lopes | Nov 25, 2018 | Career

I’m blessed to know many amazing working women who  thrive each and every day in their lives, careers and/or businesses. From my own sister to friends and family, these women set the bar pretty high when it comes to living and working on purpose. However, when it comes to the holidays, I find myself scratching my curls to figure out what Christmas gift to get these ladies who already have so much going on for themselves.

What do you get a thriving, ambitious and successful working woman who already has everything, or at least almost everything? This is the question I spent quite some figuring out. This year, I’m sharing 12 of my favorite gifts for working women who have everything, as inspired by my own Christmas gifting list:

1. An efficient planner

For busy, thriving working women, organization is absolutely key! Having the right tools to get and stay organized can make a world of difference for these ladies. Hence, one of my absolute favorite items to gift working women around me, Erin Condren’s Lifetime Planner.This planner is personalized and customized to fit the user’s unique schedule and lifestyle. It also allows for monthly and yearly planning, and comes with beautiful quotes and notes, as well as customizable layouts, stickers and extras included. It’s the perfect tool for working women to get their organization on, and in style!

2. A good book

Nothing like a good book to inspire, motivate and encourage an ambitious working women to keep going and take her work and life to the next level. This is why a good book always comes in handy as a holiday gift.

This year, at the top of my book gifting list, is my favorite FLOTUS’ new memoir “Becoming Michelle Obama”. For my business sisters, I’d get the Michael Gerber’s “The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About it”. My favorite classics to offer every year fr the holidays also include the cult book “We should all be feminists” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, “Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert, as well as “Smart Women Finish Rich” by David Bach. Of course, I cannot forget my own book “Girl, Take Back Your Career“, available on Amazon.

3. Great office supplies

Working women need their tools to work efficiently, productively and…in style too! This is why great office supplies are a working gal’s best friends. Among my favorites to gift during the holiday season, the Night Owl Paper Goodsoffice supplies, along with the Erin Condrenpaper and other office accessories. Mintedis also a great place for office supplies as gifts.

For the busy career ladies in my life, tools such as this Bonsaii EverShred shredderor this Epson Eco Tank wireless printer with scanner and copier, are always appreciated.

4. A great app

In the modern age of techonology, apps are the new go-to’s for busy working women who want to be efficient, productive and more fulfilled on the go. An app can help them do just that, while making for perfect, low-stress gifts.

I love gifting iTunes gift cardsthat allow access to millions of apps in the iTunes stores. Among these, the Corporate Sister appis right at your fingertips for all things career, business and lifestyle for working women too!

5. A statement piece of jewelry

Even the best-dressed, most accomplished working woman out there can always use a statement piece of jewelry to take any professional outfit to the next level. For instance, this vintage Chanel gold metal pins and broochmakes for a piece to remember on any occasion. So does this unforgettable Cartier Entrelaces bracelet from the Real Real.

6. A Power Suit

Nothing says powerful woman like an impressive power suit. It also makes for a great gift for the working woman who already has much to be thankful for. This Tahari ASL notched-lapel pantsuitwould be a welcome addition to any working woman’ wardrobe. So does this LeSuit women’s pinstripe one-button shawl collar pantsuit.

7. The gift of self-care

For booked and busy working women, self-care is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. Why not offer it as a gift then?

For the athletic working lady around you, gifts from sporting stores such as Athleta,or Foot Locker,are always appreciated. Pieces such as the Flux street joggeror this Lombard hoodiemake useful and practical gifts for any working woman.

8. Business tools

Business tools are always great ideas for holiday gifts, especially for working women who are building their empires.

For those corporate and business sisters building their websites, website hosting services such as Bluehostplans make great gifts. For all things logos, websites, and design of all kinds, 99Designspackages are also great to offer.

9. A trip

My sister just went on a trip, all-expenses paid by her best girlfriend. After all, what better gift to the working women in your life than a trip to remember? CheapoAiris a great place to score bargains for this. So is TripAdvisor. You can even go one step further and offer the gift of vacation rental through Airbnb.

10. More knowledge

Ambitious working women distinguish themselves by their thirst for knowledge. This is why offering them the gift of continuous learning is always appropriate. You can offer them the world’s largest selection of courses spanning a variety of topics and subjects in Udemyfor instance.

You can also gift them with the polished writing that can help them take their careers or businesses to the next level with Grammarly. For the women entrepreneurs around you, the educational platform Thinkific where they can create their own courses, also makes for an ideal holiday offering.

11. Beauty

Spoil the working women in your life with the gift of beauty at places such as Sally Beauty, Sephoraor Birchbox. Even the busiest of working lady can enjoy a new lipstick or hair product for the holidays.

12. Stylish glasses
