Keeping your tools it tip-top shape is the sign of a true craftsperson. As programmers, one of our main tools is our keyboard. As we are in our flow state and furiously typing away while grabbing a snack every now and then, our keyboard can quickly get dirty. This tool by OXO helps get all the nooks and crannies and ensure no one give you weird looks because they see a piece of chip hanging out of the spacebar key.
This gift combines two of my passions, programming and music production. The mousepad contains a stylized version of the class Roland 808 drum machine that has been used in music production since 1980, now that is staying power!
I've noticed lately that my elbow has been hurting after a long session of coding. For some reason, the more difficult a bug is to solve, the more pressure I put on my left elbow. I don't remember this feeling when I was a young whipper snapper programmer. I started looking for a solution and found this elbow pad that looks like just what the doctor ordered.

As programmers, we spend a lot of our time hunched over a keyboard, staring at a screen which can lead to terrible posture if we're not conscious. The Upright Go 2 is a smart posture trainer with a companion app to help you train yourself into a better posture. If the developer in your life isn't standing up straight with a nice confident pose anymore, this may be the perfect gift!
As programmers, we all know that sometimes the best way to find a solution to a bug or technical issue that has been plaguing us, is to explain it out loud. Rubber ducks have long been used as a good listener and a way to avoid seeming completely crazy. If someone catches you talking out loud... you can just say "I'm not losing it, I was just talking to this rubber duck". This ceramic mug pays homage to our little yellow friends, and this way you save desk space by combining your rubber duck and coffee mug into one!

When the majority of your job requires you to be in front of a computer, you best make yourself comfortable. I don't have the scientific stats to make claims about the benefits of standing vs. sitting, but I know I feel better when I alternate between the two. This Tresanti adjustable height desk can significantly reduce physical strain and fatigue caused by long hours of sitting, thus enhancing focus and efficiency. The desk also includes convenient features such as integrated USB ports for charging devices, a spacious desktop for multiple monitors, and a drawer for storage. I have owned two of these desks, one in white and one in black, for over 3 years and I'm glad I made the purchase.
As software engineers, we are drawn to data and metrics. That is why I was excited when my wife bought me this Muse 2 Smart Headband to help me collect some data about my meditation practice. This headband uses advanced EEG brain sensors to detect your brain activity and provide you with real-time feedback in the form of gentle audio sounds through your headphones.
Of course you are a kind person, and generally, you do care. However, sometimes you just need to let people know that today is not the day. Throw on this sweatshirt by dresscode to playfully let people know that you are a nerd and you mean business today.
For those of you who have the problem of letting your coffee, or other hot beverage, sit too long that it becomes cold, the Ember temperature control smart mug is here to save the day. I don't have this issue, but my wife swears by this mug and claims it has saved many cups of coffee from being dumped down the drain.
