Choosing a gift for a programmer for this wonderful holiday is not at all as straightforward as some people think. A flash drive or an external drive are far from the things that he would like to see in a beautiful box under the Christmas tree …
Yes, of course, programmers or system administrators will appreciate consumables (like another memory card) positively, because these items can be used when performing work duties, but this is a very boring gift … Let's think about what can really please a person working in a position related to IT.
Delicious gift
The simplest option will be the most common - various goodies. What sweet tooth will not be delighted with a good set of sweets, but a gourmet will like his favorite varieties of coffee, tea or good alcohol. Combine the above items with each other and let the unfortunate person who spends at the computer not only all working days, but also weekends, be distracted by a cup of good coffee with high-quality chocolate.
Helpful advice: to make a gift more original, you can pay attention to craft options for sweets - sweets, pastries, cakes, made in the original design.
Note! Not everyone will like sweets. For them, you can pick up a basket of fruits, good meat products, etc.
Useful gift
A programmer can be useful not only and not so much memory carriers, but also such ordinary things as cozy scarves, hats, mittens, vests and cardigans, and other warm things. Also, original slippers, shirts (if you certainly know the exact size and the required colors), good stationery, etc. will be extremely useful.
Collectibles and hobbies
If you know your friend's hobbies, consider adding to their collection or expanding their hobby opportunities. Gifts such as themed figurines for famous games or the necessary tools for doing creative work will be very good.
What should not be gifted?
Like any person, an IT specialist will not be pleased at all with formal gifts bought just for show. A dozen plastic pigs on the table or four keychains with monkeys will not make your friend's holiday more fun. And even a gift certificate, if it is chosen incorrectly, will only upset, despite the amount on this card.
