Gift Ideas for Internet Entrepreneurs

The holidays are fast-approaching. If you're still looking for gift ideas for your friends or if you're having trouble coming up with a wish list of your own, check out the 13 gift ideas below for inspiration.  These ideas are listed by price, with the cheapest appearing first.

1. Business Magazines - Magazines are inexpensive and easy gifts to give. The most popular business magazines are Entrepreneur Magazine, Forbes, Inc., Business Week, Fast Company, and Fortune. Prices range from $11/year to $45.97/year depending on the number of issues published.


2. Business Books - See our previous post about the top must read books for entrepreneurs for gift ideas.
   
   
3. Bluetooth Headset  - Entrepreneurs are always on the go -€“ whether they're heading to investor meetings, vendor meetings, or networking events - which is why this is such a great gift. There's one particular headset, the Motorola HS850, going for a steal at Amazon for only $23.75.
   
   

   

4. SanDisk 2GB Cruzer Titanium USB Drive - A flash drive allows entrepreneurs the ability to store and transfer their confidential files easily and quickly. This heavy-duty drive has a casing that is crush resistant to over 2000 lbs. Another benefit is its retractable USB port which eliminates the need for cover caps. The current Amazon price is $26.90.
   

    

5. Ergo Comfort Adjustable Footrest - This is a must have for entrepreneurs with feet and back problems. Its swivel action allows for instant repositioning of the users feet and legs when sitting in front of the computer. The Amazon current price is just under $28.
   

    

6. Leather Portfolio or Bag -€“ These gifts come in handy when entrepreneurs need a more professional look. Find a great price on eBay.
   

    

7. Logitech Wireless Keyboard and Mouse -€“ It seems like entrepreneurs spend more than half their time in front of a computer, especially in the concept and launch stage of their startup. This wireless keyboard and mouse provides convenience, comfort and style. Its Amazon current price is $49.99 and its eBay auction price ranges from $20 to $40.
   

    

8. Fellowes Power Shredder -€“ Almost all entrepreneurs I've encountered are paranoid about protecting their ideas and paper shredders can provide them with an extra sense of security. This particular one creates confetti shreds and includes a 5-gallon basket for easy dumping. Its current Amazon price is $45.99.
   

    

9. Apple 1GB iPod - Great gift for those entrepreneurs that are always on the go. Help them pass the time with an iPod. Check out both Amazon and eBay for the best price.
   

    

10. Wall Street Journal Subscription -€“ Great for checking on competitors and reading the latest business news and trends. A six-month subscription ranges from $129 to $169.
    

     

11. NeatReceipts Scanner -€“ This scanner alleviates the hassle of keeping track of expenses and business cards and is a great way to prepare for taxes. Works with QuickBooks, Quicken, MS Money, Excel and many more. Scroll down this Amazon page to see how it works. Again, shop around for the best price. The prices I've seen range from $175 to $209.
    

     

12. Blackberry Phone -€“ All entrepreneurs need some kind of PDA and the Blackberry is the best selling by far. It's best to get one with a phone plan but if you're out of luck, check out both Amazon and eBay for the best price.
    
    

    

13. Amazon Kindle - Recently introduced, it's a portable reading device that has the ability to wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. It's a great way to pass up time while reading business books/magazines, catching up on entrepreneurship blogs or the Wall Street Journal. It's biggest benefit is its paper-like display that is nothing like the glare of a computer screen. Plus, there is no PC or syncing needed. For more information, watch a video demonstration on Amazon. Note: This item is temporarily sold out due to heavy demand and is shipped on a first-come, first served basis. Its currently only available on Amazon for $399.

Hi guys. Great list. I wanted to let you know about Solio at http://www.solio.com They are a client, but I think it's a perfect fit for your list. Solio is a universal hybrid charger. Basically - you use solar power to charge up every device - your iPhone, Treo, ipod, etc. So - in addition to helping the environment, it's great for road warriors who are always running out of battery!

Check out their site (http://www.solio.com). It even comes in pink for those female tech entrepreneurs in your life. :)

Happy Holidays Team and A Dream!!

Best,
Stephanie
