6 Presents to Give Coaches this Festive Season

If you are feeling stuck trying to find the perfect present for a coach, we are here to help. Whether you’re looking to spoil a loved one or family member who is a coach or are considering how to thank your own coach, these presents are our top picks based on expert advice.

We recognize that it can often be a bit difficult to find presents for coaches. That’s why we reached out to our community to find out what they as professional coaches and coaches in training appreciate as presents.  

Before you read through the suggestions, take a moment to think about the coach you have in mind. Consider what they like, their specific coaching niche and what they might appreciate. Are they an online or in person coach? Do they focus on mental health and wellness or are they passionate about using coaching for strategic planning in businesses. Keeping this in mind will help you to find the right gift for them. 

Chances are that all of the coaches you know enjoy reading, learning and growing. Coaches prioritize their growth and this makes a book a thoughtful and practical gift to give. Our top three picks for self development books are

• Atomic Habits by James Clear
• Inner Dynamics of Coaching by Marilyn Atkinson
• Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by McKeown
  
  

One of the simplest gifts to give a coach is a blank journal. This allows them to use it for whatever they’d like! Journaling, reflecting and setting intentions are generally second nature for coaches.

Coaches are committed to personal and professional development. On average, they do one full course a year to develop themselves. Contributing to their development is a perfect way to show your gratitude and appreciation for them. Explore Erickson’s upcoming High Performance Team Coaching and Leader as Coach courses.

If you’re wanting to provide a practical present to help your coach, stationery is the way to go. Desk planners, diaries, pens for notetaking and other useful stationery items can brighten up the admin side of Coaching. 

Coaches put a lot of time and effort into setting up their environment for coaching sessions. Whether they are providing online or in person coaching, having a positive and uplifting environment can help them to enjoy their job even more. Photo frames, cushions and wall paintings are all some fun examples of office items that you could gift a coach with.  

A referral is one of the most appreciated presents that you can give a coach. You can do this by referring a friend or by sharing a public testimonial about the coach on a social media platform. This helps to lead other potential clients to them.

We wish you the best of luck with selecting a present for the coach you have in mind- we’re sure they’ll truly appreciate the thought and effort that you put into finding the ideal present.
