Five Star Gift Ideas

Based on your son's interest in coding and the particular concept of time in coding, I have come up with a few gift ideas that might spark his curiosity and make him excited about the upcoming holiday season.

1. Coding enthusiast book: Consider buying him a book that delves into the intricacies of coding, focusing specifically on time functions and their applications. It could explore topics like manipulating time, time zones, and timed events. This gift would provide him with valuable insight into his favorite concept within coding.

2. Coding course or workshop: Look for coding courses or workshops that specialize in time-related programming. Enroll him in a course that deepens his knowledge of this particular topic while allowing him to interact with like-minded individuals who share his enthusiasm for coding.

3. Coding puzzle set: For a hands-on and engaging gift, choose a coding puzzle set that focuses on using time functions to solve various challenges. These puzzles often require logical thinking and problem-solving skills. This gift will provide him with a fun way to further explore and apply his coding knowledge.

4. Smartwatch or digital clock with coding features: Consider a smartwatch or digital clock that allows him to experiment with coding time-related functions. Some devices are specifically designed for coding enthusiasts and include features that display and manipulate time related to different time zones, timers, and alarms. This practical gift would showcase his passion for coding in a useful everyday item.

5. Coding-themed clothing or accessories: Look for T-shirts, hoodies, or hats featuring coding-related designs that incorporate the concept of time. It could be a clock made up of binary code or a clever phrase related to coding and time. These fashionable yet personal items would allow him to proudly display his love for coding.

6. Personalized coding-themed calendar: Create a custom calendar with coding-related images and quotes, focusing on time-related concepts. Include important dates in his life, such as birthdays or milestones, making it both a practical and thoughtful gift that he can use throughout the year.

Remember, the best gift is one that shows you have paid attention to his interests and put thought into finding something unique and meaningful. Whether it's a book, a course, a puzzle set, a device, clothing, or a personalized calendar, any of these options should make your son thrilled and grateful for your thoughtful choice.

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.”
