Gifts for the Person Who Just Started a Business and Has Not Slept Normally in Three Weeks

Starting a business is one of the stranger things a person can do. It is voluntary chaos. There are seventeen things on the list and three of them are urgent and one of them involves a form that needs to be filed with someone and nobody told them this before. They are learning as they go, which is mostly how everyone does it, but that does not make the learning less disorienting. They have also never been more alive, probably. The fear and the possibility are the same thing viewed from different angles, and they are running on both. The gift for them is something that makes the practical side a little easier, the mental side a little more sustainable, or simply the message that what they're building is worth building and someone is paying attention.
