1. A Funny and Inspirational Mug
Just like this mug says; being a badass is hard work and you shouldn’t feel ashamed for it. Any lady boss will know that although the work isn’t always easy, it’s definitely worth it. The floral decorations on the mug just make it a great gift idea for any woman hard at work. Because, let’s be honest, every person working in an office can use a fun mug to keep just to themselves. Although, if they work from home, then this is still a great present to give them.
2. A Rosie the Riveter Pin for All Strong Women
This portrait is probably one of the most well-known symbols that represent girl power. This pin is perfect for decorating and upgrading an item. Whether it’s your favorite jacket or purse, this boss lady pin will make for a great addition to it. Of course, this is just an example of the many pins out there, though this one is probably the most iconic. It’s a great smaller gift if you’re looking for something affordable and tiny.
3. A Boss Lady-Themed Scented Candle
If you know they love a good scented candle, then this boss lady candle might just be a great gift idea. And don’t worry, they don’t smell like actual female bosses, instead, they’re roasted coffee-scented, which will actually make a room smell nice and comfy. It’s a fun gift idea you can’t really go wrong with because who doesn’t like a candle. It’s a great neutral choice if you’re really not sure what they like or what kind of a gift they would or wouldn’t appreciate getting.
4. A Notebook to Keep Track of Your Awesomeness
Who doesn’t need more planners or notebooks? This notebook is perfect for keeping track of all your project and ensures that everyone knows whose notebook it is. It’s maybe a bit obvious, but a good notebook with a fun cover is just another one of those gifts under $20 for women you can’t really go wrong with. There’s no female boss out there that couldn’t use a fun addition to her probably already existing collection of notebooks.
5. A That’s What She Said Canvas Tote Bag
If you know they’ll get some good use out of a sturdy canvas bag, then getting one with a funny pun on them is a great idea. This one isn’t too obvious at first until you take your moment. It’s a nice subtle statement that will put a smile on anyone’s face once they get it. It’s one of the most affordable items on this list of boss lady gifts, so it’s great as a small gift or as an addition to a gift basket if you’re looking for something that isn’t too predictable as a present.
6. A Rose Gold Wire Desk Organizing Set

Now you can actually make your desk look organized and stylish at the same time. So, if you know they love a bit of rose gold, then this is the organizer set to get. If they don’t then have a look around at all the other options and styles that Amazon has to offer.
7. Coasters to Remind People to Keep It Classy
Now, I warn you to only give this to a person with a sense of humor, not everyone will love using these. But I definitely would. So if you are looking for that fun gift for a boss lady, then this set of coasters is perfect. Especially, if they live in a household where people seem to forget that you can use a simple coaster to keep your table free of water stains or scratches. There are so many fun coasters around with these cheeky ones just being one of them.
8. A T-shirt to Show Exactly Who You Are
Everyone knows it’s true. No mom is ‘just a mom’, with that you are also a wife, a boss, and so much more. So wear this tee to remind everyone of how much you actually do and what you are. This way they might actually listen when you ask them to clean their room (fingers crossed!). Whether you wear it as a shirt or as a pajama shirt, this is a great shirt to have. It also comes in a couple of different colors, so be sure to check them out and pick your personal favorite.
9. A Picture to Keep Yourself Motivated
This fun print by is a great piece of decor for her office. You can get it in a bunch of different sizes. All you need to do is get a nice frame that will match her office perfectly. So, if you don’t know what that looks like, pick something neutral. If you don’t like the font or quote, then have a look around at the many other great prints available on Etsy that are all empowering and motivating in their own unique way.
10. Tina Fey’s Book Bossypants
What book is better for a boss lady than Tina Fey’s Bossypants. In it, you get a collection of hilarious autobiographical essays that will make you laugh out loud and feel inspired to be whoever you want to be. This is just one example of the many great books about female bosses and role models out there that are great boss lady gift ideas. Personally, I prefer books like this over purely motivational books because those don’t tend to be very relaxing.
