The executive woman in your life deserves presents that are thoughtful, empowering and out of the ordinary. Whether it's your boss, wife or mother, there are great presents that will put the world at this powerful woman's fingers. However, they'll all enhance her life and make you look very generous (and classy) in the process.
Custom Business Cards & Holder
One of the biggest must-haves in the executive world is a catchy business card, especially if the woman is a freelancer or small business owner. A strong business card makes a good first impression and creates a lasting memory in the mind of a prospective client.
For this gift, hire a graphic designer to consult and create custom business cards for your executive woman. Make it a package deal where she can talk to the artist about the cards and get them printed. Of course, don't forget to include the card holder. Whether the business card design is commissioned from a marketing firm or an affordable design college student, it's a great way to show that you're interested in your executive woman's career development.
Designer Laptop Bag/ Briefcase
A good, sturdy laptop bag is useful for everyday work or travel. It's even better if the laptop bag is airport security ready and sophisticated. You might opt for a monogram design or high-end designer brand.
A good-looking briefcase or laptop bag doesn't have to be super expensive. Discounter chains, like Marshall's, commonly sell laptop bags from designers like Samsonite, Betsey Johnson, and Tumi. If you go the discount store route, it may take several trips before you find the right bag, but persistence will pay off in lower prices for good merchandise. Don't forget to look at online stores and sample sales, as well.
Day Spa Package
One thing that many executive women don't have is lots of time to relax. To help her maximize her downtime, book a spa experience at the nearest luxury establishment. It can be as simple and inexpensive as a nice manicure, or a full-blown day excursion with a gourmet meal, body treatment, facial, massage and hair session. This is a nice gift that a whole team can pay for, too.
Personal Assistant Services
With little time for day-to-day chores, an executive can save time by using a personal assistant. For the female exec that has it all, there's no bigger gift that time, and a helping hand ensures that she can make the best of it. An assistant can handle it all: grocery shopping, pet grooming appointments, travel planning and organizational duties all fall under the purview of a well-rounded personal helper.
In large cities, there are concierge services that contract on a subscription basis, or by the job. One can book the assistant or helper through an agency, or hire someone through a classifieds site. Or, for private executives, give a gift certificate for service hours for them to use at their leisure. Rates vary, but you'll pay more for an assistant with more experience.
