Does he have a hobby or habit? It can be something he likes or can use daily. For instance, if he smokes, you can choose a good cigarette holder (I know that this site https://www.tbagents.com/subcate... offers a wide choice of them) or a lighter. It is always possible to find such things to meet your budget.

Hi Swapnil, I am so pleased to see your support for your friend, it's really appreciated. There's one thing you can do if you like is let me review the product on my blog. I mainly review SaaS products on my blog, if you want me to write one please connect with me at- thesoftwareguy1994 at gmail.com with your name and product name as the subject.

@software_guy that'd be awesome, thanks for reaching out! His is not a SaaS though, it is a productized service for UI/UX. But, I am keeping a note of your offer and will share with some peers, if that's okay.

First, I want to say I admired your support for your friend, the world wants more friends like you! I can't say exactly because people's interests are vastly different and you might know the best. But I would say in my case, if your friend likes to work out (or even has a slight interest like me) and works from home. I would love to get something that I can exercise in my house to keep my mind fresh.

@micky_ thanks for the appreciation and a great suggestion. I strongly feel that friends are the best cheerleaders that any founder should have - more often than not, it is a lonely journey.

Journal, or watches – to be better organised. 😃☝️Because sometimes you can be overwhelmed by activities you are supposed to do and it is good to have order in your work. Better time management is the key.

I guess it can be something personalized. Everyone has things they like.
