A personalized coding notebook with his name or initials on it can be a great gift for someone who loves coding competitions. You can also consider buying him a bestselling book on coding, such as "Cracking the Coding Interview: 189 Programming Questions and Solutions" by Gayle Laakmann McDowell. Another idea is to get him a subscription to a programming competition website such as LeetCode or HackerRank, where he can compete with other programmers online. If he's interested in hardware components as well, consider a Raspberry Pi kit, which can be used to build various projects around coding and electronics.
Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
