On this special holiday edition of The Friday Habit, Ben and Mark bring listeners their very timely gift guide for entrepreneurs and clients. These are things that Ben and Mark have either received, given, or purchased for themselves and they are now self-proclaimed unofficial brand ambassadors. Here are the gifts they recommend and why:

Miir water bottles – These water bottles are vacuum-insulated and feature a very minimal design as well as helping to fund clean water projects worldwide.

Shure MV7 podcast microphone – This would be more of splurge purchase for friends or clients who are looking to launch a podcast or improve the quality of their existing show. It is easily the best mid-level microphone out there, featuring XLR and USB inputs, a headphone output, and compatible software.

CRKT Techliner pen – A good pen is something that will have a daily impact on your life, but most people would never buy a good pen for themselves. This pen is minimal in design and has a handy magnetic lid.

Bluetooth speaker sleep mask – Mark uses this sleep mask every night to block out light and to fall asleep listening to music, a podcast, an audiobook, or the Portal app.

Ember mug – This is the ultimate mug for hot beverages and most likely a mug that people would not buy for themselves, so you can knock their socks off with this gift. The Ember mug is connected by Bluetooth to an app on your phone which will allow you to control and maintain a specific temperature for your drink.

Personalized leather field notes sleeve – No matter how advanced technology becomes, you can’t replace good ol’ pen and paper, and this personalized leather field notes sleeve is the perfect addition to that small moleskin your entrepreneur friend carries around in their pocket.

Apple gift card for the Soulver 3 app – If your gift recipient is constantly looking for a way to solve the word problems that come up in business without having to try to make everything fit into an Excel formula, Soulver is just what they need but they don’t know it yet. Give them a gift card to Apple and let them find out what they have been missing.
