For example, a Raspberry Pi starter kit or Arduino board can be an excellent choice, as they provide endless possibilities for building and programming various electronic projects.

4. Subscription to Coding Platforms: Consider gifting him a subscription to a coding platform that offers challenges, projects, and tutorials. This will give him an opportunity to work on real-world coding problems, growing his skills and knowledge.

5. Exclusive Coding Merchandise: Look for merchandise related to coding that he can proudly wear or display. T-shirts, hoodies, stickers, and posters featuring coding jokes or iconic programming symbols could make for a fun and personal gift.

6. Personalized Coding Kit: Put together a personalized coding kit for him. Include items such as a high-quality keyboard, a comfortable ergonomic mouse, a coding notebook, and other accessories that can enhance his coding experience.

Remember, the most important thing is to encourage and support your son's interest in coding. By choosing a gift that aligns with his passion, you'll not only make him happy but also provide him with the tools and resources to continue exploring and growing in this field.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
