Five Star Gift Ideas

Here are a few meaningful gift ideas for your grandpa who enjoys coding competitions:

1. Coding Book: There are plenty of coding books out there that can help your grandpa advance his coding skills, and even help him prepare for coding competitions. Select a book that suits his interests and level of expertise.

2. Programming challenge website subscriptions: There are popular websites like Codewars and HackerRank that offer monthly subscriptions. These websites provide a range of programming challenges that could help your grandpa improve his coding skills and engage in healthy competition.

3. Coding-themed clothing: You can find a range of t-shirts, hoodies, and hats with coding-related designs online. These clothes items are great for casual Friday at the office or as workout clothes.

4. Handheld Video Game Console: While there's no substitute for actual coding, a handheld video gaming console like Nintendo Switch or Sony PSP is a fun way to pass leisure time. Load it with logic-based games revolving around coding puzzles for your grandpa's entertainment.

5. Espresso Machine or Coffee Gift Set: Coding competitions could keep your grandpa awake at all hours of the night. Help him stay caffeinated by purchasing him an espresso machine or a coffee gift set. You can also consider a small coffee machine that sits on his desk at work, providing the much-needed caffeine boost in the middle of a coding challenge.

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