Gift-giving season is upon us and it’s time to celebrate all the hard work you’ve done as a small business owner this year — whether you work from home, have your own shop, or are a side hustle pro.
We all know the random, cheap crap that can land in our stockings (or gift exchange party) that ends up unused, broken, or goes straight to the donation box. Toothbrushes, cheap pens, candy… they all leave us feeling like the stocking stuffer box got checked, but there was no thoughtfulness involved.

😲Every item on this “best ideas for stocking stuffers gift guide” is less than $30!
If you decide that they’re all perfect for you, I completely support that too! 😆

Office Essentials
01. Desk Mat & Accessories
My home office desk is where I spend most of my working hours and the look and feel of my space is so important for my creativity and focus. This desk mat, mouse pad, keyboard wrist rest, and coaster set are not only gorgeous, but the ergonomics of the mouse pad and keyboard rest will help you take care of yourself for those long typing hours.
I first saw one of these sets on the desk of a woman at my bank, and I immediately commented on how pretty it was. She said one woman at the bank got one, and all the other ladies immediately followed suit.
If the dark cottage core design here isn’t your style, there are 18 other patterns/colors to choose from.
02. Blue Light Glasses
We all know how inundated we are with blue light from our devices. I personally have 2 giant monitors at my desk and I notice at the end of the day that my eyes can feel sore and tired. I started wearing blue light blocking glasses at my desk a couple of years ago, and I definitely notice the difference when I wear them.
This cute pair of light pink ones are on trend - but there are many more colors to choose from.
03. Pocket Notebooks
This set of 3 small notebooks is perfect for quick notes on the go. I keep one on my desk for meetings and ideas, and one in my purse because you just never know.
And while you might be comfortable taking notes on your phone, having pen and paper handy can help you remember what you need those notes for better.
Self-Care and Wellness
04. Essential Oils Set & Diffuser
Scent can work wonders for your well-being and setting the right office vibe. I often choose oils based on how I want to feel or what I have going on in a day.
For example, if I have a long day of meetings and need energy and focus, I might blend lemongrass and peppermint. If I have a behind-the-scenes day of plugging away quietly in my office, I might blend lavender and orange oils.
This giftable set is certified organic and nonGMO.
Grab this mini essential oils diffuser will fit with most decor and is perfect for your office or throwing it in your suitcase for travel.
05. Soy Candles
I love to set a Hygge home office vibe in the fall and winter, and there’s nothing like candlelight to create that mood. This adorable set of 6 soy candles (scented with essential oils) is perfect for home and travel too.
06. Clean Coffee
After I was diagnosed with severe mold toxicity, my doctor told me that I’d need to switch to a certified mold/toxin-free coffee (because not drinking coffee was NOT an option).
This coffee brand is not only mold and toxin free, but is low-acid (so it’s easier on your tummy). It’s a great gift for the coffee-addict who sits down at her desk with her 2nd (or 3rd) cup of coffee in the morning.
Technology and Gadgets
07. Wireless Charging Pad
I, for one, get a smidge anxious when my phone has less than a 50% charge, so having a good wireless charger at my desk is definitely essential.
Instead of giving (or buying for yourself) a standard black charger, upgrade to this sleek gold one (they have other colors too).
08. Laptop Camera Cover
Anyone would love to receive these cute, stylish webcam covers for privacy during video calls.
09. Webcam Ring Light
Ditch the bulky ring light on a big tripod stand for this smaller version that can be used on your laptop, webcam, or a small phone tripod.
Beauty and Fashion
10. Cozy Slippers
These memory foam slippers are two-tone and come in lots of color combinations. The best part is they also have hard bottoms so you can run outside to get the mail or take the dog out.
11. Tinted Lip Balm
These Burt’s Bees lip shimmers are my go-to for unexpected video calls. I keep them in my desk drawer for a quick color swipe so I can feel put together and professional (even when I’m wearing yoga pants and slippers).
Conclusion
This stocking stuffer gift guide for women in business will help you find thoughtful, beautiful (and useful!) gifts for the women in your circles this holiday season. With all of these products being under $30, you can get a few for yourself too 😉.
