Top 10 Economical Gift Ideas for the College Entrepreneur

By: Eloy Yndigoyen (The Campus Investor)

10. Gas Cards – You’re probably thinking that this has nothing to do with entrepreneurship and you’re right it doesn’t but how does one get from meeting an investor to scoping out a location to manufacture his/her idea. Oh yeah, that’s right in their car, and gas cards will always come in handy since they will be able to put that money there not spending on gas to work for the business.

9. GPS/Navi Systems – Make sure you’re never late for a meeting by getting lost and you won’t be if you have your GPS!

8. Sticky (Post-It) Notes – These are so freaking cheap yet have so much value, little tiny office supplies like this run out fast when you’re an entrepreneur who is always thinking of new ideas.

7. Monitors/Screen’s and lots of them! – I’m a firm believer in having at least two monitors when using the computer; I think three is even better. It can help you multi-task like never before.

6. Subscription to Entrepreneur Magazine – I know its cliché but it’s definitely inspiring to read some of the articles in this magazine, especially when someone runs into tough times. Also, the magazine can be helpful when it comes to capital raising ideas and how to grow your business better.

5. Luggage – You can never have too many good pieces of luggage, especially when you’re traveling around a lot trying to promote your business.

4. Fireproof Safe – This is huge because more then likely the entrepreneur will have to keep important files and records about the business in the office, better make it fireproof just to be safe.

3. Wireless Headset – Nothing better then being able to walk and talk while also having your two hands free.

2. Really Comfortable Chairs – The average entrepreneur will spend a ton of time out of the office making moves, however, some of the most important meetings and decisions will be taking place in their office wherever that may be and guess what? I’m pretty sure you will want to be sitting in a comfy chair when you’re cooped up in the office ‘til all hours of the night.
