Whether your friend has started a new small business or your colleague has decided to go independent, giving a gift to a new business owner is a wonderful way to show your support. But what should you give? What could be that perfect thoughtful present to impress them? Let’s explore unique gift ideas for surprising the new business owners in your life.
Similar to our new homeowners gift guide, we believe thoughtful gifts should address a specific need or want. A great way to come up with gift ideas is to start by saying “I want to give them something to…”. Then, simply complete the sentence. Something to help them organize their day? To take care of themselves, like a water bottle? Something to protect their computer, like a laptop bag?
Let’s explore practical gift ideas for business owners and astonish your new favorite entrepreneur—and start their business on the right track.
The best business gifts for entrepreneurs should be useful. Small business owners will appreciate any extra help with their new venture. If you have a new entrepreneur in your life, here are eight gift ideas they will surely love.
Starting a new business can be demanding, from early morning preparations to late-night marketing strategy sessions. Every bit of extra energy is essential. Consider giving them a high-quality coffee maker or espresso machine to help them through late night budget planning. Pro tip: You could even turn it into a personalized gift by adding a monogrammed accessory. For instance, you could add a personal touch with a set of mugs featuring their new company logo.
Concentration is difficult in any fast paced environment, but it’s a necessary skill in business management. A pair of noise-canceling headphones can be a great gift for those long hours of planning and dedication. With noise-canceling headphones, they’ll be free from distractions while commuting or working from home, allowing them to focus on what matters the most: their new business.
Robbery can be a dangerous threat to a new business. Imagine investing valuable resources in the perfect business idea, only to witness all that effort disappear in minutes. Luckily, peace of mind is a great gift, and quite feasible with the right security camera.
Curious how to prevent thieves from entering their business or home office? Consider budget-friendly options like the Arlo 2nd Gen Essential Security Camera, with HD or 2K options. It also features 2-Way Audio, Color Night Vision, and Motion Detection. This camera is perfect for new business owners, allowing them to monitor their office or store wherever they are.
In a similar way, indoor cameras can be a great addition to any office, store, or restaurant business. Consider options like the Arlo 2nd Gen Indoor Wired Camera, with Night Vision, and Motion Detection. Place it near cash registers or off-limits management offices to monitor crucial spaces remotely.
An LTE-enabled camera can be an excellent gift for on-the-go businesses, such as construction companies. Models like the Arlo Go 2 come with 4G LTE connectivity, enabling remote monitoring of the jobsite from anywhere. It also offers 1080p video capture and a long battery life, with the added convenience of being able to connect to a portable charger or a Solar Panel for continuous power.
Regardless of the business type, office supplies are essential. However, each business has unique requirements. Instead of giving something they may not need, consider an office supply store gift card.
This offers the added benefit of flexibility, allowing them to choose the supplies they need the most. This is a simple and clever way to show your support without the risk of providing something that may not be useful.
Whether they’re starting in a home office or a fancy building, meeting with clients is an essential part of any new business. Keeping customers waiting outside is, well, not a great way to start any deal. That’s why a video doorbell is a great gift idea for entrepreneurs.
Options like the Arlo 2nd Gen Video Doorbell feature 2-Way Audio, allowing entrepreneurs to see and greet arriving customers. It also comes in either an HD or 2K video resolution version, and both have an ultra-wide 180° Field of View. As a business owner, a video doorbell could also be useful for monitoring supply deliveries and deterring potential thieves.
Depending on the type of business, your friends will likely spend a considerable amount of time at their desk. If they’re going to handle inventories and marketing calls for extended hours, it’s crucial for them to do so comfortably. An ergonomic office chair not only reflects your interest in their business but also in their wellbeing.
Danger comes in many different forms. A smart alarm system, like the Arlo Home Security System, could help new business owners monitor a diverse range of potential threats. This model features All-in-One Sensors capable of detecting up to eight different threats. It includes monitoring doors and windows, smoke alarms, temperature changes, water leaks, and more.
The flexibility of the Arlo Home Security System makes it suitable for a wide array of businesses. For instance, if your friend owns a restaurant, the water leak detection can help protect the pantry from unexpected flooding. If they run a construction company, they can easily monitor material storage using the motion detection feature.
A smart speaker can be a game-changer for a new business owner, serving as a cost-free personal assistant. Beyond its compact size, it proves helpful for managing schedules, setting reminders, and offering quick answers. This gift introduces a touch of efficiency to their routine—and they can even use it to play music and celebrate their first official sale.
Some smart security systems, including our cutting-edge Arlo devices, offer Smart Home Integration. This means they can interact with and be controlled from popular smart speakers like the Google Nest Mini and the Apple HomePod.
Ultimately, the best gifts for entrepreneurs can be protection and peace of mind. Show your support with Arlo security cameras, video doorbells, and home security systems. Help them focus on running their business stress free, and safeguarding it for years to come.
