The 2023 Solopreneur's Gift Guide

Joe: The spooky season is officially
over and we know it's over because it

was ushered in by the spookiest thing
of all seeing Christmas commercials.

Before Halloween.

But it's November now.

And one of the best things that I
think I do, one of my favorite things

at least is my annual gift guide.

And so I am doing today's episode
a very special episode of the

2023 solo preneurs gift guide.

Over the years I've published a great
many gift guides on my blog from the

freelancers gift guide to the podcasters
gift guide, to working from home.

And even for hobbies like pens and
cigars, this year is no different.

Given my new focus on helping
solo preneurs, and the fact that

they'll work from home gift guide
started to feel a little stale.

I've decided to change things up for 2023.

There are a few ways.

I've changed things up.

Number one is this is now the solo preneur
and creator's gift guide and not the

work from home gift guide, but I've also
decided to move this guide to medium.

Now, if you would like to learn more
about why, if you'd like to hear my

thinking for my whole content strategy,
moving into 2024, you can do that as a.

Podcast Foundry member.

You can sign up over at how I built
diet slash pro, or you can get ad free,

extended, and early access episodes.

If you're listening in apple
podcast by subscribing directly.

In apple podcasts, but that's what
we're going to talk about today.

The 2023 solo preneurs gift guide,
where to find all these great things

and what to buy, whether it is for
you, the solar prenuer creator.

Uh, or for the solo preneur or
creator in your life, but that's

it let's get into the intro.

And then the gift guide.

Hey everybody, and welcome to How
I Built It, the podcast that helps

busy solopreneurs and creators
grow their business without

spending too much time on it.

I'm your host, Joe Casabona, and each week
I bring you interviews and case studies

on how to build a better business through
smarter processes, time management.

And effective content creation.

It's like getting free coaching
calls from successful solopreneurs.

By the end of each episode, you'll
have one to three takeaways you can

implement today to stop spending time
in your business and more time on

your business or with your friends,
your family reading, or however

you choose to spend your free time.

Okay, so let's dive into the gift guide.

I have broken this down
into several sections.

Uh, and I should say that everything
will be available in the show

notes, which you can find in the
description of your podcast player.

Or over at how I built.

It slash three, three and nine.

That's going to include links to
both the gift guide on medium.

Any more visual gift
guide over@casabona.org.

You can learn the difference
between those two things.

Uh, if you become a member.

Again, that's over it.

How I built it it's last join, or if
you sign up directly in apple podcasts.

So I'll also say that the gift guide.

And the description.

Does include affiliate links.

This gift guide is
affiliate link supported.

I will also say that I don't recommend
anything that I don't think is good.

So.

Rest assured that this is not
just some affiliate link farm.

There are a lot of things I recommend
here that don't have affiliate links.

So.

Anyway, let's get into the guide.

First, let's talk about recording and
video conferencing as a solo preneur,

your likely meeting with lots of
people via zoom, creating content

attending, or even presenting webinars.

And so you need good.

Recording gear.

I personally think the El Gato face cam.

Is one of the best web
cams that you can buy.

It's got a great price.

It's got great picture.

And it comes with software to really
help you dial in that picture.

Uh, that is a 10.

EDP camera.

And so if you do want
to go for the upgrade.

You know, maybe you're doing
more streaming or the good, the

gifty, the loved one in your
life is doing more streaming.

And you want 4k quality check out
the El Gato face cam pro my friend,

Brian picked that up this year and he
sent me a side by side of the El Gato

face cam pro 4k and his 10 80 DSLR.

And I couldn't tell the difference.

So a really good quality
in that tiny little camera.

Um, so that is, those are
the cameras that I recommend.

I've tried a bunch of different ones and
I'll Gado just really makes good stuff.

Uh, if you want to see my actual
live stream set up, right?

This is like a thousand dollar camera.

So I'm not going to recommend
that in a gift guide.

Um, but I do link to my own live stream
kit, and that has the camera, the

lens, and any, anything else that I
needed to make this whole setup work?

You'll also need a good microphone.

You don't want to use
the built-in microphone.

Uh, and so the microphone that I recommend
is the Sam sun Q2 you that Sam son.

Not Samsung.

So S a M S O N.

Q2.

You.

Solid quality.

Great price comes highly recommended
by me and a lot of other podcasters.

Uh, so really good microphone.

Uh, if you prefer a headset, if you
just like don't want the microphone.

Um, in your face, right?

The whole time.

Uh, and you prefer a headset.

The Sennheiser PC eight
USB headset is really good.

I think that's the one that we use for.

Uh, LinkedIn learning.

And so I have one just
off to the side here.

And works really well.

So again, just something better
than the built-in microphone.

Uh, and again, if you want to
see more recording gear, I do

have a podcasters gift guide that
I'll link to in the show notes.

Now camera is, is a lot of the battle.

I'm maybe half the battle, but one
surefire way to make yourself look

better on camera is having good lighting.

I've made adjustments to my lighting.

Uh, with the same camera and I've
managed to like, look a lot better.

So with good lighting, your
camera doesn't have to do.

The hard work.

Uh, or doesn't have to work as
hard, I should say to capture you.

Uh, and you won't look like
you're recording in a cave.

So there are lots of
different lighting setups.

I list a few of my favorite here
on the gifts on the gift guide.

Uh, Phillips hue lights.

I like these because they're smart lights.

They connect to.

Uh, apple home kit.

And they're automateable so, uh,
as I'm recording this gift guide,

you know, my Phillips hue lights
are all like Christmas-y colors.

Um, you'll know if you watch my YouTube
channel that they're usually purple.

If I'm recording for
rss.com, they are orange.

And I can change all of that.

I also have a Phillips
hue, light bulb upstairs.

That turns red when I'm recording.

So my family knows.

So Phillips hue lights.

There's just a lot of fun,
really easy to automate.

And are very versatile.

I've got strip lights, I've got
the light bulbs and it looks,

it really does a lot too.

Improve the quality of your recording.

Uh, I also have El Gato key lights and
these are, you know, flat panel lights.

Uh, that will let you evenly.

I have one behind me.

That's the key light air.

Uh, that is a backlight, so that.

You know, my silhouette, I guess like,
there's like a clear differentiation

between the foreground and the background.

So.

If you're going to be doing
any kind of appreciable

recording you or your loved one.

The legato key.

The lights are really good.

I usually offer a warning.

Don't get price gouged.

The key light should be around 1 99.

Well, the key light air
should be around 1 29.

So they are pricey, but
they are also smart lights.

They are controllable via your computer
and they're automateable as well.

Um, if you don't want to spend
that much on lights, Uh, newer,

N E w E R has a two-pack of
lights that just sit on stands.

You can set them up
while you're recording.

Uh, or loom makes something called
the LUME cube for video conferencing.

And so, uh, that's just something
that sits right next to your webcam

that lights your face evenly.

But I am a huge fan of the hue
lights and the El Gato key lights.

I think that.

Uh, yes, they are pricey, but
they do a really good job of.

Improving the lighting.

So especially.

If, you know, someone is going
to be doing a lot of video work.

This might be a nice gift
to get them that they.

Might not want to spend
the money on themselves.

So.

Uh, that's strongly recommend those.

Okay, so that's, that's recording.

And, uh, recording and lighting
and all that fun stuff.

Let's move on to the home
office set up because.

Uh, when you're a solo preneur, um,
you are probably working from home.

Uh, and I know I said earlier that
my work from home guide was getting

stale, but that doesn't mean that
some of that stuff can't help.

Solopreneurs.

And, uh, again, that's a core feature.

For many solopreneurs, their
ability to work from home.

It also means that you want to have A
good office to work from Uh, The kitchen

table or the couch was okay is a temporary
setup, but longer-term you need a more

economic solution So here are some
items that i recommend as somebody who's

worked from home for most of his life.

Okay, so let's start with desk chair.

Good desk chair is important
for someone who works from home.

You're going to be spending, I
don't know, six, seven, maybe

10 hours a day in that chair.

Or at least around that chair.

So you want a good one Steelcase
while expensive makes the best.

Uh, I'm a big fan of my Steelcase chair.

It, uh, it does.

Everything I needed to do so.

Uh, it's really adjustable.

Uh, it's comfortable.

And it again, it has a lot
of settings to support.

Whoever is sitting in it.

Uh, if you're looking for
something more affordable.

Hon H O N chairs seem pretty popular.

So if you're not trying to spend
like a thousand dollars on a

chair, Han chairs are like 300.

I would say spend at least
300 bucks on a desk chair.

Right.

Uh, you're again, you're sending in it.

Most of the day.

So.

And again, this could
be a great gift, right?

If you, if you have like a sibling
or a child, Um, who not a child.

Your child, your kids.

Uh, offspring.

Uh, who worked from home and they're not
willing to spend 300 bucks on a chair.

This might be a good gift for them.

Right.

Either way.

I want to tell you about.

Another thing that was
like a game changer for me.

Rollerblade wheels for office chairs.

I didn't think of these
until I saw them on Twitter.

West boss tweeted about them.

But these wheels make the chair sturdier.

And much easier to roll on carpets.

I have a carpet in my office.

So these, these rollerblade wheels
for office chairs are a game changer.

I am a huge fan.

Highly recommend for anybody.

Who has.

Uh, who has.

The.

An office chair right there.

They're from owl office owl
set of five replacement chair.

Castor wheels.

They're less than 20 bucks.

And it just a game, super easy to install.

Game changer.

Big, big fan.

Of these wheels.

Game changer.

Okay.

So that's the, that's the chair.

Let's talk about the desk.

Uh, I have a standing desk.

It's the Jarvis.

It's the fully Jarvis
or the Jarvis by fully.

Uh, fully is now owned by
Herman Miller, who also happened

to make really good chairs.

But I have, and I love it.

I have the option to stand.

During portions of my day.

And that's really good.

I also have the by flexi spot.

It's fantastic.

Full disclosure.

They sponsored this podcast previously.

They provided the desk to me.

For free.

But it's, I would say just
as good as my fully desk.

Uh, the main difference
between them is that the.

by flexi spot.

The one I have.

Has a child lock on the controller,
which is great because my kids like

to play with the controller and
I would prefer that they didn't.

So.

They're both programmable.

They're both really sturdy.

I would say, look at both and see
what options you're looking for.

In a standing desk.

If you're looking for something more
affordable, there are converters.

That will turn your desk into a
standing desk, fully used to make one,

but it looks like they don't anymore.

Uh, so there are like there's one
from the New York times has a,

I guess this is why our cutter.

Has a three basket
standing desks converters.

I have another former sponsor
Moft has something like this.

It's this kind of origami laptop
stand thing that one of the.

Folding options turns your
desk into a standing desk.

And I've used that before
and it was really good.

So.

Moft dot U S if you're looking for.

Maybe just something to convert your
current desk into a standing desk.

Other economic stuff, something to,
again, we just talked about this.

Something to elevate your laptop or
monitor is great because then you're not

hunched over or very close to your screen.

12 south makes a lot of really
great stuff in this department.

So you would just find something.

I think that works for
you or your loved one.

I like the park slope.

That again from 12 south.

Really nice stand.

Uh, good mouse goes a long way
in economics and productivity.

I think the logic tech MX
master three combined ergonomics

and productivity really well.

It's got multi-device support,
ergonomic design for comfort.

And lots of programmable buttons to
make your computer easier to use.

So.

I love the logic tech MX master three.

It's a really great mouse.

It goes for around a hundred bucks.

Uh, now I don't use an ergonomic keyboard.

I have the key Cron K2 pro
mechanical keyboard, which you've

probably heard me typing on.

Uh, but I'm an ideas, man.

And I've heard great things about
the economic keyboard from Microsoft.

I think it's just called
air economic keyboard.

Uh, this is a, an
affordable option, right?

There's the Kinesis
ergonomic keyboard as well.

But the Microsoft one is,
is less than half the price.

So if you're looking to test the waters.

On an ergonomic keyboard, I
would recommend Microsoft's.

Now, if you really want to go the extra
mile, you could get a monitor arm.

The ones by fully are really pretty.

I I've always wanted one, but.

Uh, that they don't fit the monitor.

I have.

I got the mic, the studio,
the apple studio display.

So I didn't get the
visa option or whatever.

So.

If you have a monitor that supports
this, definitely check it out.

I did have one by Amazon that served
me really well for a long time.

So that is home and economics.

Uh, and why don't we take a quick break?

And, uh, hear a word from our sponsors.

Okay.

And we are back, let's get into the, at
home technology, having the right tech.

Can make a world of difference.

And I have a bunch of recommendations
for you to help you work.

Uh, even if you have kids at home, So.

Before we get to that bit.

Let's talk about backups and storage.

Everything we do is on
our computers these days.

And so you need a good
backup and storage solution.

External hard drive is
number one on this list.

I've used the Western digital, my
book for as long as I could remember.

Um, I've, I've had the eight
terabyte model for a long time.

I upgraded to the 12 terabyte model.

I think the convention is two to
four times your hard drive space.

Uh, so I'm kind of just under
the four, the four times.

But having an external
drive to do onsite backups.

Is really important.

Uh, equally as important is
having cloud or offsite backups.

This is, you know, having something
off site, especially if you work from

home, if something happens with your
computer or your equipment at home.

In offsite, backup can save you.

So, uh, there's only one service
I recommend for this and it's

Backblaze full disclosure.

Backblaze is a former
sponsor of this show.

I was using them before
they sponsored the show.

Easily the best offsite backup solution
for solo, preneurs, and creators.

So again, if this is something for a
loved one, Get them a gift card and they

can set up their own Backblaze account.

The last bit, the last two bits here,
I don't, I don't know that they're

necessary, but if you want to go the extra
mile, one is network area storage or Nass.

This is something that allows
you to store data over a home

network from multiple devices.

I currently have the Synology
to, uh, bay storage, Nass.

Uh, and so what I'll do here is.

Move older files into
cold storage on the Nass.

So any like big files that I really
don't need immediate access to

anymore, we'll go to the Nass.

Uh, just a heads up that if, if
you do buy this, it's the bay only.

So you'll have to get.

Some hard drives.

Right.

And for the total cost, I know some
people who have also gone the route

of a Mac mini as their home server.

Um, I, I think like if you're
looking just for like dedicated

storage and assets, still better.

I haven't had both at this point,
but I got the base level Mac mini.

So I'm not really using
that for deep storage.

And then the other thing I would mention
here is a portable hard drive, right?

And with the cloud, there's a lot
less need for a portable storage,

but I still like to have some on me.

I like the Western digital
portable hard drive.

That's really nice.

And a good price.

Uh, and.

Even though it is pricey.

I'm a huge fan of Samsung's T seven.

Portable SSD.

It's so small.

And has so much storage.

I actually love it so much that my full
photos library is exclusively on that.

It's backed up to iCloud as well, but.

When I tell my computer where my iCloud
or where my photos library is, I pointed

to this external storage, so that can take
my photos library with me wherever I go.

Uh, it's.

It's great.

So big fan of that.

Okay, let's move on to
headphones and other tech.

So let's talk about headphones.

I'm an audio file.

I love my headphones, my AirPods pro two.

Are my favorite headphones.

They're always in my pocket
and they're actually the only

noise canceling headphones.

I keep with me.

I recently flew and only took my
AirPods pro two with me, and they

worked great like gangbusters.

So.

Big fan of those.

Definitely a much better solution than my
AirPods max, because you can't fold them.

They're big.

They're heavy.

Uh, and they're just not, they're
not very delightful to travel with.

So.

Big fan of the AirPods pro two.

Uh, if you, or who you're shopping
for is more of an ear buds person.

I've always been a fan of
skull candy headphones.

And if you're looking for over
the ear, uh, I can't really

recommend the AirPods max anymore.

I'm hoping in 2024, we get a version
two that's way better than version one.

The sound quality is pretty good.

Like if you're willing to plug
them in, but if you're looking for

great over the ear noise, canceling
headphones, the Bose quiet comfort,

45 noise canceling headphones.

Our fantastic.

Whether you work from home or
an officer, a coworking space,

or you have kids at home.

These will help you focus.

Uh, and because they fold up,
they're better for traveling as well.

If you're looking for good sub
$200 over the ear headphones, I

recommend the audio Technica ath M 15.

They're lightweight.

They block out most noise.

And they sound incredible.

Uh, I've had these going on a decade
almost, and they are now a permanent

fixture with my electric drum set there.

The headphones I use for that.

So I still use them every day.

Okay.

Let's get into other
miscellaneous tech really quick.

Before we move on to like the comforts
of home and productivity tools.

Um, Other tech and accessories.

I'm going to recommend the stream hat.

The stream deck.

I've got two.

Powerhouse of automation.

And just like quick access
stuff, I'm able to switch scenes.

In e-com live so quickly
because of my stream deck.

I can launch apps and shortcuts
and change my lighting quickly

because of my stream deck.

I'm a huge fan of it.

Uh, everything from, um,
setting up podcast recordings to

livestream, overlays, lighting,
launching apps, and so much more.

I can't recommend the stream deck enough.

I think it's the perfect gift for anybody.

Who spends a lot of time at their desk.

And then some portable accessories, right?

So anchor, chargers, and hubs.

If you need a good portable
charging solution, there's

no one better than anchor.

A few that I have that I really
love is the GaN prime hybrid

power bank and wall charger.

This is a power bank that plugs
directly into the wall with pass

through charging so you can charge your
devices and then unplug it from the

wall and continue charging your devices.

I also have the mag save
three in one charging cube.

It's perfect for travel.

You can charge your, your iPhone.

Air pods.

And apple watch.

All from this one cube.

It's perfect.

And then they have the
nano USB-C power bank.

Plug this directly into your phone.

For a little extra juice.

For iPhone and iPad stands.

I love the ones by lab 22.

I have the iPhone stand and
the iPad stand on my desk.

They are beautiful.

They're sturdy.

And they work really well.

I can't recommend them enough.

Love those things.

Okay.

So those are the accessories.

Let's move on to productivity tools.

Working by yourself can be
tough, especially if there's

a lot of distractions.

But with the right tools,
you can better stay on task.

Or at least easily pick
up where you left off.

I'm a big fan of analog tools.

I know they're super personal.

I will list the, again, you can find the
links to all of this in the show notes.

But these are the ones that I like.

The sidekick notebook.

It's a really nice notebook.

Premium field.

Great paper works with
fountain pens and it lays flat.

So I'm always looking
for that in an old book.

And then the sidekick note pad.

Is a horizontal pad.

That sits directly under your keyboard.

It has a notes section and a task section.

So.

Really easy for me.

I've been writing down on it.

I've been writing down timestamps.

For a chapter markers for this episode.

I love it.

I know it's like $37 at
the time of this recording.

That feels like a lot for a notebook, but
I've had mine for four or five months.

And it's been serving me really well.

So big fan of that.

Both of those are made by cortex brand,
which also makes the theme system journal.

And then I've talked about this before,
but the William Hannah Classic notebook.

This is my planner.

Uh, it's leather bound.

It's really nice.

And it's got a lot of different refills.

So I will break down my
refills and the pro show.

But I'm a big fan of it.

Uh, it works really well for me.

And then I also mentioned this last year,
but the analog to do system from Ugmonk,

I'm an analog guy through and through.

I haven't been using the
analog system as much.

Because of the other tools I use, but if,
if you're looking for a really nice gift,

That works well on a home desk setup.

Uh, and it also is a nice
system for capturing to dues.

The analog system by Ugmonk.

Monk is really nice.

As far as digital communication.

You know, I have my own apps that I
like to do us for task management,

mind node for mind mapping.

Bear and notion for note-taking
and Ulysses for writing.

I would recommend you pick up
an app store gift card here

for the person in your life.

Uh, and then they can buy
the apps that they want.

Uh setup is also a really great
subscription service that gives you

access to a ton of mac and ios apps Uh
i have set up and i save a ton of money

every year Paying 15 bucks a month to
get access to apps i'd be paying much

more than that for So those are the
productivity tools Let's move into

comforts of home Starting with coffee

I need good coffee.

I love good coffee.

My favorite coffee
these days is coma tier.

They flash freeze already brewed coffee
into pods, and then send them to you.

Uh, it's perfect for hot or iced coffee.

Super easy to make and to travel with.

It it, I think it's like three days.

It can last three days.

Without being refrigerated.

So if you know you're going on a trip.

That has crappy in-room
coffee, which is everybody.

Bring these pods with you.

Add hot water.

You have great coffee.

It's darn good.

Other great beans that I recommend.

My current favorite is.

Jazzy Java by.

Reading coffee company right here in
Pennsylvania, Rook coffee out in Jersey.

They make a Nicaraguan blend.

That's really good.

And crew coffee makes something called
doom cup, super dark and delicious.

They're from upstate New York.

A really great coffee lens here.

I will say, like, I don't
really like, like fruity.

Uh, tasting coffee.

So.

Um, you know, mine are more on the like
richer C uh, Savory richer flavors.

Uh, not really like
this sweet fruity stuff.

Uh, coffee gear.

Everyone has their own
way of making coffee.

I have a bunch, but I have an espresso.

I got that for Christmas last year.

And I love it.

It's a perfect office companion.

When I need a little afternoon boost find
the right pods and you're good to go.

Uh, now, if you are buying whole beans,
then you need a good coffee grinder.

And, oh man, I didn't know.

I could love a device so
much, but my wife got me.

The Oxo brew, conical,
Burr coffee grinder.

It's beautiful.

It holds three quarters,
uh, pounds of beans.

Has several steps for the perfect grind
and an auto grinder for up to 30 seconds.

It's absolutely perfect.

I love it.

Uh, now throughout the rest of this
guide, you know, I linked to clothes

and things to wear around the house.

I'm going to skip over
those for the most part.

Except for something that I
don't have, but I really want.

Which is these Mojave's slippers.

They look super comfortable.

I've heard great things about them.

Uh, and they have a little
like nice color flare to them.

So I want the orange and gray
ones, but they look really nice.

I haven't really seen them recommended
anywhere else except for upgrade.

Uh, which is one of my favorite podcasts.

And I want to just call them out here.

So let's close out with travel
and getting out of the house.

I'm going to recommend a couple of bags.

I have the mezzo backpack
from Waterfield design.

Sadly, they don't make that anymore.

Uh, but they do have
several comparable ones.

And I also just picked up the, uh, our
L 10 leader sling bag from nomadic.

That's a great bag.

It fits perfectly.

You can put a laptop in it.

And nomadic in general just
makes great backpacks, huge fan.

And then of course, if you're looking
for a good messenger bag, you can't

go wrong with Timbuk two, I've been
recommending them for over a decade.

Uh, as far as travel accessories.

I have a Kindle scribe.

I love my Kindle scribe.

It's easy to highlight.

It's got the pen.

You can take handwritten notes.

It's a really compact device
with a lot of different purposes.

I also put air tags in everything.

So if you're traveling, air tags
are the perfect companion to

keep track of all your stuff.

And if you want to use your
headphones that you just bought

from the headphone section.

Uh, to tap in to the inflight
entertainment system on a plane.

Get the air fly by 12 south.

It's perfect.

It's compact works really well.

And you can use your own
headphones to listen.

Or a watch in flight entertainment.

Let's round out the travel
section with books and ways to

get out of the house, right?

No, I mean, I feel like no
solo preneurs guide would be.

Complete without books.

Uh, but I'm not going to recommend
the books that everybody recommends.

Here are four of my favorite books that
I don't think are recommended enough.

Uh, at your best by Kerry new Hoff.

That's a book about how to recognize
your energy levels and do your

best work when you're at your best.

That was really a game changer for me.

I loved that book.

Uh, forget the funnel by Georgie, uh,
Georgiana Laudi and Claire Soland trope.

Uh, JIA and Claire, talk
about the importance of

learning from your customers.

And that really resonated with me.

Uh, you don't really need
a complex sales funnel.

As much as you need to speak
your customer's language.

This is personal by Brendan Dunn.

My friend, Brendan is super smart
and his approach to personalizing

your emails is fantastic.

If you've ever gotten an email
about a product that you've

already bought from a company.

Uh, Brennan.

Gives you a method to fight
against this in your own business.

Uh, so highly recommend that book.

And then made to stick
by chip and Dan Heath.

Uh, this talks about how some ideas
catch fire and others don't has a lot

to do with telling good stories, which
I've been on a bit of a kick of lately.

Um, and so let's round out
with ways to socialize.

Solopreneurship can be really lonely.

So here are some ideas to help your
loved one or yourself socialize.

Uh, you can find a coworking
space in your area.

You can do dinner and a movie.

You can find escape rooms, uh, or you can.

Do a bunch of other recreational things.

Uh, find a bed and breakfast,
cigar lounge, my personal favorite.

Wine tasting museum tour a
night out in the closest city

or a gym or club membership.

All of these things.

Uh, could help with kind of the
mental health of your solo preneur.

Another thing that I'll recommend here,
that I didn't include in the gift guide.

Better help, better help.com.

Uh, I've been seeing a therapist.

And she's great.

She just kind of helps me.

Um, bounce ideas and,
and, you know, kind of.

Give me advice and help me
recognize when I'm overstimulated

and stressed and things like that.

So that's it for the 2023
solo preneurs gift guide.

I hope you enjoyed it.

Let me know what your favorite.

Uh, recommendation is, or if
you're picking up anything for

yourself or your loved one.

I talked about here, as well
