Gifts for new business owners
It's hard work starting a business. Bringing a gift on your first visit, during the set up stage, or down the track a little bit can provide a pick me up for small business owners juggling payroll, GST, vendors and customers.
Some good gifts for the Small Business Owner or Entrepreneur
Indoor Plant (and a watering can). Hardy plants are a good idea to allows for those days when watering the plants is not the top priority. A money plant or money tree is a good omen to have close to the door of a new office. The leaves are thick and coin like and therefore symbolise wealth coming in to the office. Available at Growing Gifts here .
Business Cards . For someone in the ideas phase of a business, just after they have registered their business name, or for those working from home that have not gotten around to getting a card printed. There are several companies online that offer printing services and will deliver the cards within a week time frame usually. Officeworks also provides a business card printing service.
Computer Gear : With the influx of mini laptops on the market they are now an affordable gift idea to keep the new business owner on the run. Dell offer Mini's from $499.

Photo or print for the office. Pictures on the walls is also an area that is easily missed when setting up a business on a budget. Ideas include a photo of something within the industry of the new business (products for an importing business or flowers for a florist), a photo of the business owner, an inspirational image (mountain peak, ocean shot or lighthouse), or something obscure to keep client's interested while waiting for their meeting. You can pick up something eye catching easily for a market or art shop, or from IKEA.
Good pen. This is seen as a very auspicious gift in Chinese gift giving customs. It is also an excellent gift for those signing contracts often. you can choose to have a motivational quote, or a few words of encouragement engraved on it.
Briefcase . To carry many important documents and contracts (or the apple and sandwich for the first few weeks).
New suit, tie or shirt. The suit maketh the man (or woman) and so if you're feeling generous a new suit will help keep the head held high and hte shoulders back during the initial start up phase.
Flowers . Flowers brighten any office. If you can, include a vase with the flowers. Order online, or turn up for a visit with a bright bunch of gerberas or roses.
