When I started my business, I realised very quickly that being a founder is… a lot.
You’re the creative director, the accountant, the packer, the marketer, the customer service team - and somehow also expected to have a full-blown morning routine while juggling all 47 tasks in your brain.
So I’ve pulled together a curated list of gifts that genuinely support the woman behind the brand. Not just cute gifts - but thoughtful, useful, founder-approved tools that make business feel calmer, more organised, and a little more “main-character energy.”
The female founder gift she’ll use every. single. day.
Founders love a gorgeous gift - but what they really appreciate are the things that make everyday life smoother, calmer, and more intentional. These are the gifts that won’t sit on a shelf or get “saved for best.” They’re the practical, beautiful, genuinely useful tools that slip easily into her routine and support both her workflow and her wellbeing.
Brown Croc MacBook Case
This is the female founder gift essential she didn’t know she needed. Sleek, timeless, and perfectly put-together, a croc-texture MacBook case makes every workday feel a touch more organised and a lot more elevated.
Why she’ll love it:
Makes her tech look as polished as her brand
Elevates the “open laptop on a café table” moment
Huskee Coffee Cup
The Huskee Cup has become a cult favourite for a reason. It’s sustainable, lightweight, and beautifully designed - the ideal companion for founders who live on caffeine and morning routines that happen in motion.
Why it’s a daily essential:
Eco-friendly and long-lasting
Comfortable to hold and spill-resistant
Perfect for early Zoom calls, school runs, and co-working days
The Blissful Business Planner
This is the planner designed specifically for female founders. Not just a planner - but a thought partner. A place to plan launches, map content pillars, track goals, organise finances, and bring clarity to the chaos.
Why it becomes a daily non-negotiable:
Reduces overwhelm and decision fatigue
Helps her plan smarter, not harder
Combines mindset, strategy, and practical daily layouts
Self-Care Gifts She’ll Actually Use
These gifts are the antidote to burnout: small, comforting rituals that help her slow down, soften her nervous system, and create a moment of calm in the middle of her chaos. Thoughtful, grounding, and designed to fit into real life - even on the busiest weeks.
Slow Down Reusable Under-Eye Masks
These under-eye patches are a dream for tired founders. Reusable, soft, and incredibly rejuvenating - they’re the perfect “pause” moment.
Why they’re a self-care staple:
Reusable (good for the planet and her routine)
Helps de-puff, hydrate, and brighten tired eyes
Easy to use during work, journaling, or a quick break
"It's the small rituals in the everyday that makes the biggest difference to your wellbeing. I try to add in 3-5 tiny self care activities each day."
30-Day Journal by Blissful Type
A simple, beautifully designed 30-day journal that guides her back to her thoughts, feelings, and goals - without pressure or perfection. Just one prompt a day to reconnect, reset, and build a mindful moment into her routine. It’s the kind of tool that feels like a warm cup of tea for the soul.
Why it’s a thoughtful founder gift:
Encourages consistency without overwhelm
Supports mindset, clarity, and resilience
Chill Pill Mood Candle
Soft, soothing, and instantly grounding - this candle is basically a deep exhale in scent form. It’s the perfect companion for stressful afternoons, late-night laptop sessions, or those “I just need five minutes to myself” moments.
Why founders love it:
Helps shift the energy of a room instantly
Creates calm and clarity when things feel overwhelming
A Tech Upgrade She’ll Thank You For
DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Handheld Camera
If she’s filming behind-the-scenes clips, talking-to-camera videos, product shots, launches, or day-in-the-life content - this is the tool that changes everything. The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is tiny enough to keep in her bag, powerful enough to replace complicated camera setups, and intuitive enough to use without needing to be “techy.”
It’s the perfect gift for the founder stepping into her confident, content-creating era.
Why it’s worth the investment:
Ultra-stabilised, cinematic-quality footage
Pocket-sized — ideal for on-the-go filming
Perfect for Reels, TikToks, vlogs, and BTS content
Makes consistent content creation 10x easier
Gifting a founder isn’t about “stuff.” It’s about giving her the tools, rituals, and confidence boosts that help her show up as the CEO she’s becoming.
So whether you go for the planner, the coffee cup, the camera, or a cosy self-care moment, choose the thing that reminds her she’s capable, creative, and allowed to take up space in her industry.
