So, you're shopping for someone who's building something. Maybe they're a new business owner who just left their 9-to-5. Maybe they're an entrepreneur juggling client calls and creative ideas in equal measure. Or perhaps they run a small business that's finally gaining traction after their grand opening last year.
Here's the thing about gifting to business owners and entrepreneurs: they've probably already received the standard corporate gift set. Another personalized mug. Another desk plant. Another gift card they'll forget about until it expires. These business gifts look nice, but rarely create a lasting impact.
What do they actually need? Something that pushes them forward.
This holiday season, we want to show you a different kind of gift. One that doesn't just sit on a shelf looking pretty. One that creates real change in how someone sees their business, their brand, and themselves as a founder.
Heartwired Club’s Permission to Begin
Permission to Begin from Heartwired Club is brand strategy, positioning clarity, and real mentorship wrapped as a Christmas gift.
It's for the entrepreneur in your life who's done guessing and ready to build something that actually feels like them.
Here's what makes this different: you're not gifting stuff. You're gifting transformation. The kind where a few weeks later, they text you saying their business finally makes sense.
Gift Permission to Begin today!
Three Ways to Gift Permission to Begin
We've designed three tiers for founders at different stages. Pick the one that matches where your person actually is.
The Spark (£499)

This is for someone who needs permission to take their idea seriously. Who needs to hear: yes, this could actually work.
The Direction (£1,499)
For someone who's committed but doesn't know where to start. They're ready to invest time and energy. They just need someone to help them see the path.

Gift Permission to Begin and make someone’s business dreams come true.
How It Works
After purchase, the recipient gets a beautifully designed digital certificate. They redeem it within three months, starting whenever they're ready.
When they redeem, we customize everything based on where they are and what they need most. Launching from scratch? Early stages needing positioning work? Pivoting and rebuilding?
The work is always tailored. Never cookie-cutter. Because every business owner and entrepreneur is building something different.
If they fall in love with the process and want to keep going, they can upgrade with special pricing only available through this Christmas gift offer.
What Permission to Begin Actually Gives Them
Real clarity. Not vague advice. Actual strategic direction for their specific business, their specific audience, their specific goals.
A brand foundation that makes sense. Most founders run marketing tactics without a strategy. They post on social media without knowing who they're talking to. They design materials without understanding what their brand stands for. This fixes that.
Someone in their corner. The gift recipient gets weeks of support from someone who understands what it's like to build from scratch. Instead of judgment and pressure, they get grounded guidance when they need it most.
Why Permission to Begin Beats Other Christmas Gifts for Business Owners
Look, we're not saying you should never buy physical gifts for business owners in your life. Sometimes, a great notebook may be enough.
But here's the thing.
Most corporate gifting focuses on nice things that make people feel appreciated in the moment. Which is lovely. But six months later? They can't remember who gave them that mug. The gift basket got eaten. The scented candle burned out.
Meanwhile, someone who received Permission to Begin is still texting you about how their brand finally makes sense. How clients are actually getting what they do now. How they're not second-guessing every decision anymore.
Traditional corporate gifts spread holiday cheer. Permission to Begin creates transformation.

More Business Owners' Gift Ideas
If you still insist on giving physical gifts, here’s a guide to practical gift ideas organized by what they help solve.
Whether you're looking for personalized gifts for a small business owner or unique gift ideas for corporate gifting, these options deliver real value.
They won't transform someone's business (that's what Heartwired Club is for), but they won't gather dust either.
For the Constantly Caffeinated
Business owners run on coffee. Sometimes tea. Often both. These gift ideas support that habit without being generic.
Self-heating mug. Keeps coffee hot for hours without needing a microwave trip. Perfect for the entrepreneur who gets lost in work and forgets their drink exists until it's cold.
Insulated tumbler or travel mug. Double-wall stainless steel that keeps drinks hot for 8 hours or cold for 24. Useful for the business owner who's always running between meetings or working from different locations.
Premium coffee maker or espresso machine. For the person who's spending way too much at coffee shops when they could be making better coffee at home or in their office.
Handmade espresso cups or ceramic mugs. Small batch ceramics feel special in a way mass-produced options never do. A unique gift for someone who appreciates craft.
Artisan coffee beans or tea flight sets. Consumable gifts for small business owners who already have all the equipment but love trying new flavors.
For the Perpetually Disorganized
Some entrepreneurs are naturally tidy. Others operate in controlled chaos. These gifts help the second group function better.
Desk organizer. A good one with compartments for pens, cards, sticky notes, and all the random small items that end up everywhere.
Smart notebook system. Reusable notebooks that digitize handwritten notes. Great gift for the person who loves analog but needs digital organization.
Check out Rocketbook's smart notebooks.
Premium planner. For those who still prefer paper for planning. Look for ones designed specifically for entrepreneurs with space for goals, revenue tracking, and project management.
Business card holder. Simple but essential. Metal or leather options feel more professional than pulling crumpled cards from a pocket.
Cable organizer or tech pouch. For entrepreneurs who travel with multiple devices and spend too much time untangling cords.
For the Always On The Go
These corporate gifts work for business owners who are rarely in one place, whether they're traveling for work or just constantly moving between home office, coworking spaces, and client meetings.
Quality laptop sleeve or case. Padded protection that fits easily into a larger bag. Skip the bulky backpack style unless you know that's what they prefer.
Compact travel accessories. Packing cubes, toiletry bags, or compression folders that help them stay organized and arrive at meetings looking polished, not rumpled.
Portable phone charger or power bank. Essential for anyone whose phone is their business lifeline and who's often away from outlets.
Explore Anker's portable chargers here.
Reusable water bottle. Sounds basic, but a really good one makes a difference. Look for something that doesn't leak and keeps drinks cold all day.
Noise-canceling headphones. For working in loud spaces, taking calls in busy environments, or just maintaining focus when surrounded by distractions.
For Creating a Better Workspace
Whether they work from home or have an office, these gifts improve the environment where they spend most of their time. A thoughtful Christmas gift for their workspace shows you understand their daily reality.
Ergonomic desk accessories. Wrist rests, monitor stands, or footrests that help them avoid the pain that comes from sitting all day.
Blue light blocking glasses. For entrepreneurs who stare at screens constantly and wonder why they have headaches and trouble sleeping.
Check out Felix Gray blue light glasses here.
Desk plant or succulent. Low-maintenance options that add life to a workspace without requiring much care. Skip anything that needs daily watering.
Quality desk lamp. Good lighting matters more than people think. Look for options with adjustable brightness.
Scented candle. It can make a workspace feel less sterile. Choose clean, professional scents, nothing too sweet or overwhelming.
Minimalist art prints or motivational wall decor. Something that adds personality without being cheesy. Avoid anything with generic "hustle" messaging.
For Health and Wellbeing

Building a business is exhausting. These corporate holiday gifts support entrepreneurs in taking care of themselves.
Wellness gift basket. Curated items like tea, bath products, face masks, or other self-care essentials. Put together your own or find a pre-made gift set from a brand you trust.
Massage gun or foam roller. For the body tension that comes from stress and sitting at a desk too long.
Yoga mat or exercise equipment. For entrepreneurs trying to maintain some kind of fitness routine between everything else.
Sleep accessories. Eye masks, white noise machines, or weighted blankets for people whose brains won't shut off at night.
Meal delivery or healthy snack subscription. Gift cards work here too. The idea is to remove one decision from their overloaded plate.
For Professional Development
Some of the best gifts for entrepreneurs support their growth and learning. These business gifts help small business owners develop skills and expand their knowledge.
Business books by their favorite author. If you know what they're interested in, a well-chosen book can be incredibly valuable. Include a note about why you picked it.
Online course gift card. Platforms like Skillshare or MasterClass offer courses on everything from marketing to leadership to specific creative skills. A unique gift idea for entrepreneurs hungry to learn.
Explore MasterClass gift memberships.
Conference or event tickets. For in-person learning and networking. Bonus points if you know they've been wanting to attend something specific.
Magazine or publication subscription. Industry-specific or general business content they can learn from throughout the year.
The Stuff That's Always Useful
When in doubt, these holiday gifts work for almost any business owner or entrepreneur.
Leather goods. Quality wallet, cardholder, or accessory bag that will last years and develop character with use.
Portable Bluetooth speaker. For working with music, taking calls on speaker, or just improving the audio quality of their environment.
Throw blanket for their office. For those who work from home and need cozy comfort during long days.
Premium pen set. There's something about a really good pen that makes even mundane tasks feel more intentional.
Gift basket with sweet treats and snacks. Sometimes, simple is best. Include items they actually like, not just what looks good in promotional photos.
Spa or wellness gift card. Giving someone permission to take a break and actually relax for once.
Frequently Asked Questions
What to get a small business owner for Christmas?
The best Christmas gifts for business owners fall into two categories: things that solve real business problems (like strategic support, tools they actually need, or professional development) or things that help them take care of themselves (like wellness items, quality breaks, or comfort upgrades for their workspace). The worst gifts are generic corporate items that sit unused or promotional products that feel impersonal.
If you want to make a real impact, consider giving experiences or support rather than just stuff. Permission to Begin, Heartwired Club's gift voucher for brand strategy and mentorship, gives entrepreneurs the clarity and direction they've been needing. For more traditional gifting, focus on items they'll use daily, or that genuinely improve their work life.
What is the 5 gift rule for Christmas?
The 5 gift rule is a simplified approach to holiday shopping that helps avoid overwhelm and clutter. You give each recipient five specific things: something they want, something they need, something to wear, something to read, and something to do.
For gifting to entrepreneurs and business owners, you might adapt this as: something for their business growth (like a mentoring session or course), something practical they need (like office supplies or tech), something professional to wear (quality basics or branded apparel for their business), something to read (a relevant business book or industry publication), and something experiential (like event tickets or a wellness activity).
The idea is thoughtful, intentional gifting rather than buying everything you see. Quality over quantity.
What to buy your CEO for Christmas?
Shopping for your CEO requires balancing professionalism with personal thoughtfulness. The best gift acknowledges their position without being overly formal or generic.
Safe options include: premium office accessories (quality pen, leather desk items), curated food or drink gift baskets with artisan items, books related to leadership or their personal interests, tickets to events they'd enjoy, or charitable donations made in their name to causes they care about.
Avoid anything too personal, anything that could be seen as trying too hard, or anything that puts them in an awkward position. When in doubt, a well-chosen gift card to a restaurant they like or an experience they'd appreciate is always appropriate. The key is showing you put thought into it without overstepping professional boundaries.
What is the 7 gift rule for Christmas?
The 7 gift rule is another framework for intentional holiday gifting. Versions vary, but a common approach includes: something they want, something they need, something to wear, something to read, something they need (practical), something they want (fun), and something to experience.
For business gifting to entrepreneurs or corporate holiday gifts, you might think of it as: something for business growth, something for their workspace, something professional, something educational, something practical, something enjoyable, and something experiential.
Both the 5 gift rule and 7 gift rule exist to help people avoid the trap of buying too much stuff that doesn't matter. They encourage thoughtful selection where each item serves a real purpose rather than just filling space under the tree. For Santa Claus in the corporate gifting world, this means choosing items that genuinely support the recipient rather than just checking a box.
A Final Note on Gifting Entrepreneurs
You know your person better than any gift guide does. You know if they need strategic support or another desk accessory. You know if they'd appreciate experiential gifts or prefer tangible items.
What matters during the holiday season isn't finding the perfect gift. It's choosing something that shows you understand what they're building and actually want to help.
The entrepreneurs and small business owners in your life are building something meaningful. Taking risks. Working harder than most people realize. Often doing it alone.
Your gift can acknowledge that.
If you choose Permission to Begin from Heartwired Club, you're giving clarity, direction, and real support. If you choose the physical gifts in this guide, you're giving tools they'll actually use.
Either way, make it something that matters. Something that shows you see the work they're doing.
Among all the corporate Christmas gifts this holiday season, that's what makes the difference. Not the price tag. Not the packaging. It's showing someone you see them building something real, and you want to help them do it better.
