Hello! Since Christmas is coming up, and most of us have made some friends being in the great community of tech, I thought of curating this list of things I think would be a great gift to any of your loved ones or colleagues who is in the tech business.
This list is not the holy grail of lists and might be a little last minute but may help anyone who need any clue what to get for upcoming Christmas or the next occasion that calls for gift-giving! All of the items below can be purchased through Amazon (Affiliate links provided).
Programming Books/ E-books
Whether a new bootcamp grad or a early-career professional, they might need a good refresher book like these;
A Common-Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms Book
Grokking Algorithms: An Illustrated Guide for Programmers and Other Curious People
Monitor Lamp or Screen Light Bar
I have one myself and has been one great addition to my desk setup. This is a great alternative if you have limited desk space and are looking for a light source other than desk lamps or the clamp-on ones.
Most popular one:
BenQ ScreenBar Plus with Desktop Dial
USB-C hub
Speaking of desk setup gadgets, this USB C hub might also be a great addition! Besides a great protective design, you can also detach the main cable and switch it to a longer one if you need. Tad bit pricey (I also have one myself and it's been great so far.)
USB C Hub, 8 in 1 Hub with Detachable Connector
Desk Mats, Mouse Pads
Now that a lot of individuals are work from home, these are also a very functional gift. This can also be a way to spice up their WFH setup!
Felt Desk Mat - currently @ $15.00
If they're also a gamer, here's a budget-friendly option;
Psitek 32x12 inches XXL Large Gaming Mouse Pad - currently @ $12.00
Bags
A bag is a very useful tool to gift to someone who has to bring their laptop with them whether on their trips or to their office.
I have a similar one like this and has been with me for years. The price might not be as friendly, but it's worth it.
Thule EnRoute Backpack 14L - currently @ $70.00
Here's a budget-friendly option;
Lenovo Legion Recon 15.6 inch Gaming Backpack - currently @ $40.00
Mouse, Mice, Trackpads
If they connect their laptop into a screen or just needs a refresh on their current, a trusty mouse/mice is never a bad gift!
Logitech G305 Wireless Mouse - currently @ $45.00
These are just a couple of things you can gift to friends/family who are in tech or likes gaming! I hope it helped you if you're still looking for last minute gifts for Christmas!
Until the next!
