A [Unique] Gift Giving Guide for Business Owners & Their Teams
I have wanted to send you this for years, and it's finally here. A unique gift giving guide specific to the type of humans who appreciate thoughtfulness, and being seen for their uniqueness.
You might also want to subtly send this to friends and family for ideas of what to gift you, it can be tricky to know what to get a business owner when that's not your own world. This will also provide lots of inspiration for gifts of your fellow business owner friends, and team members too.
There are ZERO affiliate links on the products, just good shit I reckon you'll find helpful. I LOVE gifting and this is me sharing my love language in ripples.
This is time sensitive, some items will need you to order now in order to arrive in time for Christmas, other items I recommend watching for the November sales coming soon.
Happy Shopping.
Hot tip: use ShopBack where possible throughout the year to essentially have "free money" to spend on gifts.

2027 Yearly Wall Planner
Write To Me
The whole year on one big sheet. When you're thick in delivery, you lose sight of where the marketing drops off and the scramble starts. Seeing it laid out lets you plan for the lumpy bits before you're in them.

Purpose Planner 2027
Lisa O'Neill
Lisa is someone I've learned a lot from (a retreat session with her in Fiji back in 2023 is still paying dividends). Her planner tracks how you feel across ten areas of life, so you're planning your energy and not just your time. There's room for your want-to's alongside the have-to's, which is life by design on paper.
For your team
Courage Postcards (pack of 8)
Wild Kinship
Write a couple in yourself before you hand them over. Something specific they did this year, in your own handwriting. The business managers I work with are deeply in service and rarely hear it back.
Order early: made to order, about 4 weeks
A mug with your actual handwriting on it
Etsy
Slightly sentimental. Slightly ridiculous. They'll use it every day.
A massage or facial. Book it, then block the time in the calendar so it actually gets used. A voucher sitting in a drawer until it expires is a very common ending to this gift.
For the business owner
Order early: custom stamps take 3 to 6 weeks
Custom wax seal stamp and self-adhesive wax seals
Sea and Paper
For welcome packs, thank you notes and anything that lands in a client's letterbox. (Client experience design is my favourite thing of all time to do, so I'm biased.) The self-adhesive ones skip the melting wax, which matters when you're doing thirty at once.
One Line a Day five-year memory book
Oliver Bonas
Most business owners get to the end of the year and can't remember what actually happened. One line a day. That's the whole commitment.
For the busy, fast brains (neurodivergent friendly, nervous system friendly)
Work-From-Home Chair
Lifely
For the brain that can't sit the same way for more than twenty minutes. It reclines from upright to flat, comes with a footrest and a detachable laptop desk, so you can work, lounge through a webinar or put your feet up between calls without migrating from the desk to the couch to the bed.
Magnesium Hot Chocolate
Krumbled Foods
An afternoon wind-down that isn't another coffee.
Cast iron teapot with tealight warmer
Amazon
Keeps the pot warm while you forget you made it. (Ask me how I know.)
A kettle with keep-warm
Breville the Smart Kettle
Holds the water hot for twenty minutes after it boils. For the person who reboils the kettle four times before the tea gets made.
Brick
Brick
Tap your phone on it and the apps you've chosen stay locked until you tap it again. Leave it in another room and lunch without a phone stops being a willpower exercise.
For your business owner friends
A mentoring session with me
Katee Gray
Gift a 90min mentoring session with me. Online, or out in the paddock with the herd on the Mornington Peninsula.
Perfect for:
- the business owner who wants to spend less time in their head, and more time in their body to cultivate creativity and direction
- someone making decisions that feel off from their values, and it's impacting their wellbeing
- anyone who started a business for freedom and it doesn’t feel that way right now
$680 discounted to $440
Noise-cancelling headphones
Sony WH-1000XM4
For the deep focus work that never happens in an open-plan office or a house full of people. Put them on and the world goes quiet enough to finish the thought you started three interruptions ago.
Stream Deck
Elgato
A small panel of buttons that runs the tech side of a session for you. One press starts the call, shares your screen, opens the next exercise, starts the timer or mutes your mic. You stay with the room instead of hunting through tabs, and every transition looks effortless.
Wireless Micro
RØDE
Two tiny clip-on mics that plug straight into your phone. Clip one on you and one on your client, and the chat after a session becomes an interview or testimonial that sounds good enough to actually use. No sound desk, no fuss, no echoey room.
An AI note-taker
Plaud
For the walk-and-talks and the cafe catch-ups where the good ideas come out and then disappear. The NotePin S clips on and records in-person conversations, so it suits walks and cafes. The Note Pro sits on the back of your phone and records phone calls as well as in-person. Both turn the recording into a transcript and summary. (Ask before you hit record. The rules on recording conversations differ across Australian states, and it's good manners everywhere.)
I would LOVE you to share what you end up gifting or receiving, and which ideas bring you joy/ inspiration.
With spaciousness,
Katee
