Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

Tis the season!! As we all go looking for cool & special gift ideas for everyone on our shopping list, how about we look directly within our own StartupNation community of entrepreneurs to make our holiday shopping REALLY efficient? Plus, we’ll be helping out our fellow community members!

We’ve picked out a few gift ideas that we think are great and have listed them here just to get the list started. Let us know what you think of these gift suggestions – maybe you’ve already purchased from these entrepreneurs – and please add other suggested gifts from StartupNation community members.

We can make this a 1-stop shopping spot!!

Some ideas to start with:

Squirrel Bait Snacks from Entreprenerd

Gluten-Free Cookies from Steve

ChezJane Garlic Spread from Mig

ELIXIR G Ginger Mix from Aron

Earthborn & Handmade Vase from iouone2

Dog Stationery from Kim

Couture slip-on Cuffs from Jules

Let’s add to this starter list!!

I purchased Jessie Steel Aprons from Sarah`s Perfect Gift  I know they will be well received on Christmas!

I`m also in love with the products from TrueGenius  I think these are sure to be a hot item!

Hi Joel,

Is that ok if I add my own site to your shopping list?  I just started a website promoting fine handmade artworks and the artisans who make the product.  I think they are great unique gifts.

I`d love to have my site added to the list for anyone looking for lingerie gifts. http://www.vickisdrawerslingerie.com

Thanks!

What a great idea!

 

Hi Joel,

Great idea.  I was just thinking the other day that in doing my holiday shopping this year, I want to try to buy as much as I can from my fellow entrepreneurs.  I think we should all try to do this!!

Joel... thanks for including me on your list. I am happy you have started this string. What a great idea. I actually need something for my wife. I hate buying gifts. I never know what to get. She has too many purses and shoes. It`s time to find something else...

I will be looking through all the "gift idea for gals" presented here. :)

Thanks.

PS. My wife & I usually do a gift exchange on the 2nd or 3rd of January. Why? Because products are too expensive before the Christmas season. But everything is on sale after New Years. We have done this for the past three years. You can get some pretty great gifts for 10¢ on the dollar after the season. For us (wife & I), we know the meaning of Christmas. We also know the ways of business. There`s no need for being the first with some product you "can" live without.... for 10 more days!

Joel,
  This is a great idea. I agree with Becky that buying gifts from fellow entreprenurs is the way to go. I will definetly do that.
