They’re the woman who is leading, building, caregiving, coordinating, and somehow still remembers everyone’s birthday. But who remembers theirs?
This holiday season, we asked longtime Chief Members who know this balancing act all too well what they’d give to The Overstretched Influencer.
Here are seven of their recommendations for gifts that make their lives easier, more enjoyable, or simply give them a moment to themselves.
Good Pharma Pour-Over Tea & Coffee
“The women I admire most are always pouring into everyone else, so my gift is something that makes them pause and pour a cup for themselves,” says Monica Sanjinez, EVP, Partner, & Commercial Lines Leader at USI, who recommends these functional coffee and tea infusions.
Lola Blanket
WireMasters Global Marketing Director Jennifer Albertalli recommends this faux fur blanket for work and for travel. “It's perfect for keeping your lap warm during long flights as well as sitting at your desk or snuggling on the couch,” she says.
OCOA 4 Step Travel Kit
“For the woman whose calendar is always full and whose suitcase is rarely unpacked, I’d give the gift of one less thing to think about,” says Cheryl Overton, Founder + CXO of Cheryl Overton Communications. This complete curly hair routine comes in convenient 3-ounce sizes.
Ozlo Sleepbuds
“We all know how vital sleep is for being your best as a leader,” says Continuo Chief Marketing Officer Ashley Honoré Smith. “These sleep earbuds let me fall asleep when I want to, instead of lying in bed with a mental to-do list keeping me awake.”
The Radiant Alchemist Tinctures
Michelle Pecak, Founder & CEO at MY VIBE Human Design describes these organic tinctures as lifesavers: “When I start to get overwhelmed, one dose helps calm my nerves and I literally go from ‘I am overwhelmed’ to ‘I got this.’”
Sage & Veda Gift Set
NextPlay Collective Founder Singari Seshadri recommends gifting sets of these India-inspired topical scents and oils, “because good things come in small packages and sometimes all we need is a quick reset.”
Skylight Calendar
Giving this digital family calendar isn’t just about helping a busy woman be more organized, Ana Munro, SVP, Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley, says. “It’s about making the invisible work of managing a household visible and easier to share.”
