Hey everyone! Happy New Year! I'm looking for gift ideas for my boyfriend, who is a programmer and loves tinkering with gadgets. Recently, he's been working with a Raspberry Pi 3 and really enjoys building and fixing things, though I don't really understand much about this tech stuff myself! I'm hoping to find something cool that matches his interests, maybe even something we could work on together. Any suggestions would be really appreciated!

How about a 3D printer? It's a fantastic gadget that he can use to create all sorts of small projects, and it can be a lot of fun to learn how to use it together!
A Stream Deck+ might be a great gift! It's super handy for managing tasks on the computer. He can customize the buttons for shortcuts in work or gaming, making it not only practical but also fun to use.
If he's into Linux, consider getting him a used ThinkPad! You can find them pretty cheaply, and he can tinker with them by installing different Linux versions. It's a cool way for him to explore and experiment with his tech interests.
Totally agree! I know someone who uses one for scripts, and it's really versatile for different applications, even though it was originally designed for streamers.
