Five Star Gift Ideas

For your mom, who has a passion for starting side businesses, I have the perfect gift idea that will not only inspire her but also help her on her entrepreneurial journey. How about a personalized business planner or a starter kit for a specific business idea she has in mind?

1. Personalized Business Planner: A customized business planner will not only be a helpful tool for organizing her thoughts and plans but also show your support for her entrepreneurial endeavors. Look for a planner that allows her to set goals, track her progress, and keep all her business ideas in one place. Add a personal touch by including a handwritten note or a motivational quote on the first page.

2. Business Starter Kit: If your mom has a particular business idea in mind, you can put together a starter kit that will equip her with essential resources to get started. This could include books related to her industry, online courses or workshops tailored to her interests, or even a subscription to a business magazine or podcast. Additionally, you could include a set of professional business cards or a logo design package to help her establish a strong brand identity.

3. Virtual Skill Training: In today's digitally driven age, having a diverse skill set is crucial for any entrepreneur. Consider enrolling your mom in an online course or workshop that aligns with her business interests. This could be an opportunity for her to learn new skills or enhance existing ones, whether it's marketing, social media management, website development, or financial management. Websites like Udemy and Coursera offer a variety of online courses taught by industry professionals.

4. Business Mentorship: If your mom could benefit from guidance and mentorship to help her launch and grow her side business, consider arranging a mentorship opportunity for her. Look for successful entrepreneurs or professionals in her field who may be willing to offer advice, share experiences, and provide valuable insights to help her navigate the challenges of starting and running a business.

5. Supportive Workspace: Creating a productive and inspiring workspace is essential for any entrepreneur. If your mom currently works from home, consider gifting her with items to enhance her workspace, such as a comfortable ergonomic chair, a standing desk converter, or decorative office supplies that match her style. Alternatively, you could look into coworking space memberships that provide a dedicated workspace and networking opportunities for entrepreneurs.

6. Motivational Books: If your mom loves to read, gift her a selection of motivational and business-related books to inspire and encourage her. Some popular titles include "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries, "The 4-Hour Workweek" by Tim Ferriss, or "Girl, Stop Apologizing" by Rachel Hollis. Personalize the gift by including a bookmark or handwritten notes in the margin of her favorite chapters.

Remember that the most important aspect of your gift is showing your support and belief in her entrepreneurial dreams. Along with the gift, express your admiration and let her know that you are always there to cheer her on.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

“I made a map for my mums birthday and she absolutely loved it. Definitely buying another one soon, probably for another family member or friend”
