Five Star Gift Ideas

For your girlfriend who loves coding video games, why not consider a gift that combines her passion for coding and gaming? Here are a few suggestions to make her anniversary extra special:

1. Personalized Coding Keyboard: A keyboard specifically designed for coders could be the perfect gift. Look for keyboards with customizable RGB lighting and programmable macro keys. You could surprise her by pre-configuring shortcuts for her favorite coding software or adding special messages for her to discover.

2. Coding Game or Programming Course: If she enjoys coding video games, she might appreciate a coding game that challenges her skills while being fun and entertaining. Alternatively, you could gift her an online programming course or a subscription to a coding platform where she can enhance her skills and continue developing her passion.

3. Retro Gaming Console: Many coders love retro games for their unique coding challenges and nostalgic value. Consider getting her a retro gaming console like the NES Classic Edition or the Raspberry Pi, which she can use to play and explore classic games or even build her own retro-inspired games.

4. Game Development Books: Expand her knowledge of game development with books that cover topics like game design, programming techniques, or even the history of game development. Some popular options include "The Art of Game Design" by Jesse Schell, "Game Programming Patterns" by Robert Nystrom, or "The Ultimate Guide to Video Game Writing and Design" by Flint Dille and John Zuur Platten.

5. Coding-related Merchandise: Show your support for her coding journey by gifting her some coding-related merchandise. T-shirts, hoodies, or even a cool coding-themed mug can add a touch of personality to her workspace and remind her of your thoughtful gift every day.

6. Gamers' Virtual Reality Headset: If she enjoys gaming as much as coding, a virtual reality (VR) headset can offer an immersive experience. Many VR headsets come with coding and game development apps that allow her to create and experience her own virtual worlds.

7. Independent Game Developer Experience: If you want to go all out and create an unforgettable anniversary experience, consider surprising her with an opportunity to meet and learn from independent game developers. Look for local game development conferences, workshops, or even one-on-one mentoring sessions that can inspire her and offer valuable insights into the industry.

Remember, the most significant aspect of your gift is the thought and effort you put into choosing something that aligns with her passion. By selecting a present that combines her love of coding and gaming, you'll not only show her that you understand her interests but also provide her with a source of inspiration and motivation to continue pursuing her dreams.

Or you can get her a star map with the date of your anniversary.
