Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys coding and technology, there are several gift ideas that can align with his interest in programming and the snippet of code he mentioned, if(now()=sysdate(),sleep(15),0). Here are a few suggestions that could make for meaningful and personal gifts:

1. Coding Courses or Books: Consider enrolling your son in an online coding course or purchasing a programming book to enhance his skills and knowledge. Platforms like Udemy and Coursera offer a wide range of courses for different programming languages and levels.

2. Coding Tools and Gadgets: Look into purchasing coding tools or gadgets that can enhance his programming experience, such as a programmable keyboard or a coding-themed desk accessory.

3. Programming Puzzle Game: There are numerous puzzle games available that encourage problem-solving and logical thinking, which are crucial skills for coding. Games like "Human Resource Machine" or "TIS-100" can provide a fun yet educational experience related to programming concepts.

4. Arduino Starter Kit: If your son enjoys hands-on projects, an Arduino Starter Kit can be an excellent gift idea. Arduino is an open-source electronic platform that allows users to build and program their own interactive projects. It can be a great way for him to apply his coding knowledge to real-world applications.

5. Raspberry Pi: Another popular gift for coding enthusiasts is a Raspberry Pi. It is a small and affordable computer that can be used for various projects, from building a retro gaming console to creating a smart home system. With endless possibilities, a Raspberry Pi can inspire your son to dive deeper into his coding skills.

6. Personalized Coding Swag: Consider getting him personalized T-shirts, mugs, or accessories with coding-related jokes or phrases. Websites like Etsy offer a wide range of customizable and unique items for programmers.

7. Coding-related Subscription Boxes: Subscription boxes like "Creation Crate" or "Bitsbox" offer monthly projects and coding activities that can keep your son engaged and continue learning new programming concepts.

Remember to consider his skill level and preferences when selecting a gift. Take into account his preferred coding language or frameworks, as well as his areas of interest within the programming world. With a thoughtful and personalized gift, you can support his passion for coding and provide him with tools to further develop his skills.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
