Learning & Branding Goodies: Gift Ideas to Help Entrepreneurs with Marketing

Welcome back to our holiday series: Gift Ideas to Help Entrepreneurs with Marketing! Last week, we started things off with Cool Tech & Tools to make marketing easier, faster, and a little more fun. This week, we’re shifting gears from gadgets to growth, because even the best tools won’t do much without a little know-how and strong branding behind them.

These gifts are all about helping your favorite entrepreneur learn, grow, and show up confidently in their market. (Bonus: none of them require wrapping a single cord.)

Marketing Course Registration, Subscription or Gift Card

You can’t go wrong with a Skillshare, Coursera, or Udemy subscription or gift card. It’s the gift of “Aha!” moments, letting entrepreneurs brush up on social strategy, SEO, or even that mysterious art of writing captions people actually read.

If you’re not sure which course to pick, that’s okay. Giving a gift card lets them choose what fits their current goals (or their current caffeine level).

Bonus Note: Some courses even offer lifetime access. That means your gift keeps giving long after the holiday lights come down.

Personal Branding Workbook

Is your favorite entrepreneur unsure about who their brand is or how to show up online? Tell them to join the club, and grab a workbook. These step-by-step guides help entrepreneurs refine their story, message, and aesthetic. It’s like therapy, but for their brand.

What we love: It’s structured enough to feel productive but flexible enough for messy notes and late-night brainstorming sessions.

Coaching or Consulting Session(s)

Let’s face it, sometimes the best way to grow is to talk it out. A one-hour session with a marketing or branding coach can uncover blind spots, reveal untapped opportunities, and remind entrepreneurs they don’t have to do it all alone.

Bonus Note: This is the perfect gift for that entrepreneur friend who says they’re going to figure it out on their own… but hasn’t. (No judgment. We’ve all been there.)

Bonus Bonus Note: You may not know this, but we're brilliant at working with entrepreneurs and helping them get out of their own way. This is what we do and one of the reasons we started MCMR. To be a Marketing Resource for small businesses and new entrepreneurs.

Custom Brand Photography Session

Stock photos can only do so much. (If we see one more handshake photo, we’re revolting!) Real brand photography captures the entrepreneur’s personality and purpose, and makes every post, website, and marketing material feel authentic.

Bonus Note: This one’s a confidence booster too. Professional photos can help your entrepreneur see themselves the way the world already does, capable and credible.

And, not to toot our own horn be we know some pretty amazing photographers and image creators. Not sure where to start on this one? Drop us a line. We've got you covered.

Logo or Brand Kit Design Gift Certificate

A cohesive brand is like a great outfit, it builds confidence, communicates clearly, and never goes out of style. A gift certificate for a logo or brand kit ensures fonts, colors, and icons all work together instead of fighting for attention.

We are huge fans of Fiverr for those who want to a variety of options and professionals to choose from. Or you can reach out to us directly and we'll work with you to hook your favorite entrepreneur up.

These gifts aren’t just pretty, they’re powerful. They help entrepreneurs find clarity, build consistency, and feel confident every time they hit “post.”

Next week, we’re diving into Content Creation Gift Ideas, for every entrepreneur who’s ever stared at a blank social post wondering what to say (or where that one good photo went).
