With just over a week to go before Christmas, we’ve compiled a list of ten last-minute gifts for the entrepreneur in your life. Or maybe you’d just like to treat yourself—considering the year we’ve had, self-indulgence is justified…
The gadgety one
How often have you made a nice cup of tea or coffee, then got so swept away by some task or urgent request that the next sip of your said beverage is a tepid travesty? With this smart mug, you never have to experience this again. It’ll keep your tea or coffee hot for up to an hour.
The one who already has everything
Electric head massager – £12.99
Sometimes you just really need a head massage to destress. If your loved one or member of staff is unwilling to give you one, this electric head massager is the next best thing. A warning though—it’s so relaxing you might forget your name or that you even exist.
The super-sanitiser
UV portable steriliser – £79.99
2020 has turned us all into germaphobes. Why not take a step further towards full-blown neurosis with this portable steriliser wand? Waft it over everything—the UV light will kill all those nefarious little particles out to get you.
The sporty one
None of us are as young as we once were, and whether it’s a heavy gym session or a 12-mile run (or sometimes, sadly, just a bit of frisbee on the beach), we tend to feel it the next day. We don’t have a personal masseuse on hand like a professional athlete, but you can pretend with this deep tissue massage gun. It relieves muscle tightness and tension, and aids faster recovery.
The biohacker
A biohacker is basically someone who cannot face up to their mortality and so will do anything in their power, and budget, to live forever. If this sounds like you, or someone you know, get this sleep tracking pad. It fits under your mattress and tracks your sleep via an app. The aim is to collect all the data you need in order to never, ever die, or at least enhance your sleep so you function better during the day.
The foodie one
As much as you’d like to be one of those Scandinavian hipster chefs who forage for mushrooms in the wild, the fact is if you go plucking for ‘edible’ fungi in, say, the New Forest, you will probably get very sick and/or die. With this mushroom growing kit, you can make the ultimate mushroom sauce, while feeling content in the knowledge that you won’t poison your family/dinner party guests.
The enlightened one
Meditation is becoming an increasingly popular technique for reducing stress, staying present and introducing calm into your busy existence. It is also incredibly difficult to master. However, there’s an app (and dorky headband) for that. Amongst other things, the headband will track your brain activity, heart rate, breathing and body movements, and review your meditation sessions. Ultimately, it helps to get you into a meditative state more quickly and easily—a must if you want to meditate but don’t have a lot of time.
The car guy
Vehicle health monitor – £59.99
If you love your car/s, you want to know they’re in tip-top shape. This smart vehicle health monitor sends realtime alerts on your engine’s health, analyses engine data to pick up potential issues before they occur, and performs the kind of diagnostics that would normally cost £100 at a service centre.
The reader
Compliment the collection of books that you’ll never have time to read with this beautiful book lamp.
And, finally, the cereal entrepreneur
A healthy breakfast is an essential part of a productive day. And if you take your cereal seriously, this luxury Christmas gift box contains a selection of granola, jam, marmalade, and honey, as well as two Christmas puddings.
