6. Notepads and pens
Every entrepreneur has ideas. They may have them while they are sitting there watching television or in the kitchen, however most entrepreneurs have them at the most random times. Get them a couple different notepads and pens to put in various places around their house. You can make it personalized by engraving their name into the pen or adding an inspirational quote. There also are pads that are waterproof to put into the shower. It may sound silly, but maybe that’s actually where the entrepreneur has their best ideas. They can write them down quickly and continue on with their shower. It’s a very thoughtful and entrepreneur inspired gift.
7. Luggage tags

Because of this, a great customized gift is luggage tags. You can easily create one for them with either an entrepreneur quote, inspirational quote, or a picture you know they will love on the other side.

Books are always an easy go-to for entrepreneurs. Many entrepreneurs not only love to read, but they love reading success stories and getting inspired.

9. Headphones
Remember, the entrepreneur has a personal life too. If they have children sometimes work can be tough to concentrate on. One great is noise cancelling headphones. This will allow them to play music, jump on a work call, or listen to their favorite podcast all without being interrupted at all.
10. Subscriptions
If you know the entrepreneur loves podcasts or some other source, you could purchase their subscription for the following year. There are lots of subscription sites they would probably love and utilize. Even music is great for the background of their office. Try and pick one you know the entrepreneur already likes or would love according to their personality.
11. Pet gifts
Finally, if you are simply unsure of what to get the entrepreneur there are always small gestures to say thank you. Even though many people see a gift card as unpersonalized, they will be able to pick out exactly what they want with it. If the entrepreneur has a dog, you can always try and get something customized or specific for their dog. Dog owners love when you remember their dog and incorporate it into their gifts.
Conclusion
Presents can be a difficult task, however try and think of what the entrepreneur really enjoys and what they would use. Try not to overthink the gift, they will probably love anything you give them, however, a small touch that you know them or that you went out of your way to customize something really shows you appreciate them. We hope our list helped, good luck!
