Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys online coding courses, I have a few gift ideas that he might appreciate and find useful in his coding journey.

1. Coding Books: Consider gifting him some coding books that delve deeper into specific programming languages or coding concepts. These books can serve as valuable resources for learning and expanding his coding knowledge beyond the online courses.

2. Programming Tools: Invest in a quality coding keyboard or a programmable mouse. These tools are designed with programmers in mind, providing features like customizable keys or macros that can enhance coding efficiency and make the workflow smoother.

3. Coding Subscription: Look into gifting your son a subscription to an advanced coding platform or a programming software. There are platforms available that offer a wide range of coding courses and resources to help him further develop his programming skills.

4. Coding Challenge Websites: Your son might enjoy sharpening his coding skills through solving challenges on coding challenge platforms. Consider gifting him a subscription to websites like LeetCode, HackerRank, or CodeSignal. These platforms offer a variety of challenges that can help him practice and improve his coding abilities.

5. Raspberry Pi: Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized computer that allows users to explore coding and electronics. It can be a great tool for your son to experiment with coding projects and develop hands-on experience. Gift him a Raspberry Pi starter kit, which includes the necessary components to get started with building various projects.

6. Coding Projects or Kits: There are coding project kits available that cater to different age groups and programming levels. These kits often include all the required hardware and step-by-step instructions for building projects like robots, mini-games, or IoT devices. Such kits can provide your son with a fun and interactive way to apply his coding skills.

7. Online Coding Bootcamp: If your son is truly passionate about coding, you might want to consider gifting him an enrollment in an online coding bootcamp. These intensive programs offer comprehensive coding education and mentorship, empowering students with industry-relevant skills.

Remember, the best gift for your son is one that aligns with his interests and helps him further explore and expand his passion for coding.

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.”
