2021 Holiday Gift Guide for Female Creative Business Owners
When it comes to a holiday wish list for creative female entrepreneur, what you’re going to get from me is NOT a bunch of planners, things to help you manage your time, get more done, or drive yourself to the bone. NOT HERE, my friends!
As a female business owner, the way that I’m able to show up best for my business and my big dreams to make sure that I am taking care of myself in ALL THE WAYS. That my work space is inspiring and beautiful (to me), that I’m physically comfortable when I work, that I take time for myself to dream, to relax, to watch dumb TV, to process my emotions, to dig for the roots of my triggers, to be with friends who hear my heart - to do what needs to be done to follow what lights me up, and to be present for every single part of my life (as best I can) in the process.
So, this holiday gift guide for my fellow heart-centered women business owners with big dreams on their hearts, this is for YOU.
BOOK: PLAYING BIG by Tara Mohr
Every woman should read this book. Hands down. It’s about trusting the voice inside, handing that inner critic like a boss, standing up for your big dreams and showing up for the things that are calling you like a siren song. Any female big dreamer in your life will thank you for this!
Candles: P.F. Candle Co.
Look, candles just make the space better, okay? Their soft, flickering glow, their comforting scents - ah, I love candles. And P.F. Candle Co. is hands-down one of my favorite candle companies. I have adored every scent I’ve ever ordered (and it’s a lot). Get one that your creative entrepreneur can light while she works. Get one she can light during self-care time. Get one that’s just fun to light any time!
Wick Trimmer
This might seem to dumb, but if you’ve got a candle fan on your hands, a wick trimmer is a MUST. You know how sometimes you’ll light a candle and the flame will have some black soot in it that doesn’t stop? That’s simply because the wick was too long when you lit it! Each time you light your candle, you should trim it. And trying to trim it with a regular pair of scissors is a frustrating mess. This one is easy to order on Amazon, but you can find them at candle stores and on Etsy as well!
Cool Candle Lighter
Candle theme, anyone? LOOK, I LIKE CANDLES, OKAY?! And I know I’m not the only one. And if you’ve got an entrepreneur friend who lights candles every day like I do, then they’re probably over taking out that ugly lighter that looks like it was made for ugly camping things. Anyone who appreciates a beautiful aesthetic will LOVE these awesome lighters. They’re rechargeable! No butane! It’s eco-conscious!

Check out their MOTLI LIGHTERS (like the one pictured!) - 23 colors!
Moon Bath Book
OMG I just ordered this and I cannot WAIT to get it! For any bath lovers who also love or are interested in the lunar cycle, this is for THEM!
Mala Beads Bracelet
These beaded bracelets are hands-down my favorites. I love that they each have a mantra with them. “I am grounded,” “I am love,” and “I am healing” are just some of the ones you can find. Plus, they email you a meditation to go with whichever ones your purchase. SO COOL. They also have mala necklaces, meditation mats and cushions, and lots of good stuff. Check them out!
Hilarious Throwback Shirt from Saturday Morning Pancakes
I freaking love Saturday Morning Pancakes! So many hilarious shirts!! Honestly, they’re not the SOFTEST, but for seasonal fun stuff (or fun brand photos - hint, hint!) they’re totally worth it. My favorite one that I have right now is a sweatshirt that says, “Snow Diggity Snow Doubt.” Because No Diggity is a song I can seriously get down to. Ok, now I want to dance. Anyone want to dance with me?
Swig Tumbler - Coffee, Tea, Wine, Cocktail!
Swigs are the BEST. I’m currently totally into the mugs with the handles. You can put anything in it and it’s just so dang easy to tote around!
My Most Favorite GIANT Calendar!
I’ve used this sucker to plan my year for the past 3 years. I mount it on foam core board and organize my whole year with it!
