Ideas for Client Gifts from Women-Owned Companies

Strong client relationships are vital in the marketing industry. The right gift builds connection by showing your appreciation and thoughtfulness. It’s also an excellent opportunity to share your values. By selecting an item from a women-owned company, you can show your support of gender equity in business and women's economic empowerment. 

Despite having nearly 12 million women-owned businesses in the US, finding the right gift can be challenging. To address your agency’s needs, we’ve curated a list of female entrepreneurs with unique gift ideas to please any client.

Emily Ley’s Simplified

Success is built on details and organization, so a planner from Simplified is a great option. Emily Ley, the company’s founder and mom of three, takes a minimalist and sensible approach to its cornerstone product.

The Simplified Planner is available in three editions: daily, weekly, and monthly. The Dapperdesk daily planner includes one full page for each day with hourly schedules and room for writing down ideas on thought leadership content. It’s a great organizational tool for any client.

Lisa Gross’s League of Kitchens

 If you know your client loves cooking or wants to explore different cultures through food, consider gifting them a class from League of Kitchens. Founder Lisa Gross was inspired to create this cross-cultural engagement after growing up as the daughter of a Korean immigrant and Jewish New Yorker. 

These unique cooking classes are available online and are led by women who immigrated to America from around the world. You can select a class based on cuisine, dietary preferences, and desired experience.

S’well for Modern Insulated Containers

Established in 2010 by Sarah Kauss, S’well’s stainless steel insulated water bottles quickly took off. The original triple-layered and vacuum insulated travel bottles pledge to keep cold beverages chilled for up to 36 hours and hot beverages warm for 12. 

The bottle’s sleek modern lines and fun designs were a hit and encouraged the company to expand its offerings to mugs, tumblers, soup cups, and accessories. A gift from S'well is sure to please your on-the-go clients.

Care Crates for Custom Care Packages

Mandi Winkelman was inspired to create Care Crates after experiencing the generosity of care packages while on bed rest with twins in 2016. It’s now run by Annie Romano, mama of two boys. Her company pays it forward by using women-owned businesses to help supply their products and by making a charitable donation with every purchase. 

Express your gratitude by sending clients the Appreci-Crate for her or him. If your client has achieved a big win, show your support with a Cele-Crate! Care Crate’s customizable packages make client gifting simple.

MinkeeBlue for Totes and Backpacks

Founder Sherrill Mosee set out to design a more functional bag after noticing she and many others were carrying two or three bags at once to get through their day. Her fashionable totes and backpacks help daily commuters, fitness lovers, and parents efficiently transport everything they need. Many of her bags feature an inner padded laptop sleeve, a separate compartment for athletic or dress shoes, and plenty of pockets to keep your items organized. 

Sweet Treats from Feed Your Soul

Feed Your Soul’s founder Mya Zoracki left her job as a trader on the stock exchange to follow her passion  —  baking and giving back.

The company donates cookies to communities in need for every dozen they sell, believing that everyone deserves the comfort of a cookie no matter their circumstances.
