The Career Woman’s Ultimate Gift Guide - 2021
Holiday gifts your working woman wants and needs
Go beyond the bathrobe. Don’t be the family or friend that falls flat in stuffing the stocking this Christmas for your favorite working woman, as experienced by Kristen Wiig’s Mom character on SNL’s Christmas Morning sketch.
Give your professional woman what she wants in all aspects of her life. From the home to her office, discover a unique gift for every woman at every price point for every career stage in the first edition of The Career Woman’s Ultimate Gift Guide.
And I didn’t compile this list alone. I took to LinkedIn to uncover what ONE thing every career woman wants (or needs) this holiday season. Take your pick!
