I’m blessed to know many amazing working women who thrive each and every day in their lives, careers and/or businesses. From my own sister to friends and family, these women set the bar pretty high when it comes to living and working on purpose. However, when it comes to the holidays, I find myself scratching my curls to figure out what Christmas gift to get these ladies who already have so much going on for themselves.
What do you get a thriving, ambitious and successful working woman who already has everything, or at least almost everything? This is the question I spent quite some figuring out. This year, I’m sharing 12 of my favorite gifts for working women who have everything, as inspired by my own Christmas gifting list:
-
An efficient planner
For busy, thriving working women, organization is absolutely key! Having the right tools to get and stay organized can make a world of difference for these ladies. Hence, one of my absolute favorite items to gift working women around me, Erin Condren’s Lifetime Planner.This planner is personalized and customized to fit the user’s unique schedule and lifestyle. It also allows for monthly and yearly planning, and comes with beautiful quotes and notes, as well as customizable layouts, stickers and extras included. It’s the perfect tool for working women to get their organization on, and in style!

A good book
Nothing like a good book to inspire, motivate and encourage an ambitious working women to keep going and take her work and life to the next level. This is why a good book always comes in handy as a holiday gift.
This year, at the top of my book gifting list, is my favorite FLOTUS’ new memoir “Becoming Michelle Obama”. For my business sisters, I’d get the Michael Gerber’s “The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About it”. My favorite classics to offer every year fr the holidays also include the cult book “We should all be feminists” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, “Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert, as well as “Smart Women Finish Rich” by David Bach. Of course, I cannot forget my own book “Girl, Take Back Your Career“, available on Amazon.

Among my favorites to gift during the holiday season, the Night Owl Paper Goodsoffice supplies, along with the Erin Condrenpaper and other office accessories. Mintedis also a great place for office supplies as gifts.
For the busy career ladies in my life, tools such as this Bonsaii EverShred shredderor this Epson Eco Tank wireless printer with scanner and copier, are always appreciated.
