When it comes to shopping for the programmer’s gifts, it could become difficult. It seems they like some strange stuff which might be complicated to choose if you are not a techie. I have created a list of gifts that are great and useful for the programmers (and not only for them).
Note board
This is a very useful thing. It can help with design, planning, or even preparation for an interview. I used note boards a lot at the office and really miss them at home.
Backpack with a compartment for a laptop
Techies took their laptops everywhere they go, so the backpack is an essential part of a wardrobe. Check the size of the laptop in advance to be sure that it fits.
Wireless charger
Nobody likes wires. Especially techies. They have so much stuff that has to be charged, it can become insane. Just check if the phone (or another gadget) supports a wireless charger.
Raspberry Pi
It a nice gift for a person who loves to craft some interesting tech things. A lot of things could be done with a Raspberry Pi. It’s only limited by your imagination.
Smart home elements
Such as a speaker, which can tell you the weather and remind you about an appointment. A lamp and a socket, which can be turned off automatically by the schedule. Home automation can be expensive and long-lasting, maybe your friend would be happy for this kind of gift. Make sure the chosen brand will work with the smartphone and another technic in the house.
Comfortable computer chair
This year was tough for a lot of us, let’s make the next one more comfortable. There are a lot of chairs created for a long working day, just check your friend’s or loved one’s design preferences.
