Five Star Gift Ideas

For your boyfriend who has a passion for coding and creating software/apps, here are some thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas that he will truly appreciate:

1. Coding Books or Online Courses:
Consider gifting him a book or an online course that focuses on a specific programming language or software development. This will allow him to further expand his skills and knowledge in a structured and organized manner. Popular options include "Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship" by Robert C. Martin or courses offered by platforms like Udemy or Coursera.

2. Subscription to a Developer Tool:
There are numerous tools and software that can aid developers in their work, such as code editors or integrated development environments (IDEs). Research and find out what tool he's been eyeing or if there's a subscription he currently uses but is due for renewal. Alternatively, you can gift him a subscription to resources like Stack Overflow, a go-to platform for developers to discuss and find solutions to coding problems.

3. Customized Keyboard/Mouse:
As a coding enthusiast, your boyfriend probably spends a significant amount of time typing away on a keyboard and clicking with a mouse. Consider gifting him a customized keyboard or mouse that fits his preferences. Options include mechanical keyboards with programmable keys or a mouse designed specifically for coding tasks.

4. Raspberry Pi or Arduino Kit:
If your boyfriend likes to tinker with hardware projects as well, consider getting him a Raspberry Pi or Arduino kit. These small, affordable computer boards allow for endless coding and hardware experimentation. They are perfect for creating prototypes or building projects related to Internet of Things (IoT).

5. Tech Gadgets:
Coding requires a good set of equipment, so a practical and functional tech gadget makes a great gift. Think about getting him a high-quality headset for clear communication during virtual meetings or a portable monitor that he can easily use with his laptop while on the go.

6. Coding-themed Clothing or Merchandise:
If you're looking for something less technical, consider a fun and lighthearted gift. Look for coding-themed clothing or merchandise, such as t-shirts, hoodies, or mugs with coding jokes or popular programming syntax printed on them. It's a great way to showcase his passion for coding.

7. Personalized Coding Stationery:
For a more personalized touch, consider getting him a custom-made notebook or sketchbook with his name or a coding-related quote engraved on the cover. This can be a practical gift that allows him to jot down his coding ideas, algorithms, or sketches in a dedicated place.

Remember, the key is to choose a gift that aligns with his passions and interests while also being meaningful and useful in his coding journey. By considering his preferences and hobbies, you can find a gift that truly resonates with him and shows how much you care about his passions.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.

“I ordered a print for my boyfriend for his upcoming birthday 7 days ago and received it today. I ordered the anatomical heart one reflecting back on our first date. We love it! It is beautifully done and looks great in the living room!!!”
