Gifts for computer scientists can be found here.

If you are in the desperate situation of looking for gifts for programmers or computer scientists, you can be sure that you will find the solution to your problem with us. This overview is full of gift ideas for computer scientists, from binary wristwatches to doormats. Or how about surprising your favorite admin with a funny computer science T-shirt? We think that computer scientists deserve a little attention every now and then because they make such wonderful things possible for us every day :) It doesn't have to be a high-quality mechanical keyboard (that's perhaps more something for Christmas or a birthday), but the programmer's heart is guaranteed to beat faster even with the programming language card game.

Gifts for programmers who have it all

Of course, computer scientists are also happy about our countless USB gadgets, which bring variety to their unfortunately rather stressful everyday working lives. Or about a new mechanical keyboard, which not only looks great, but is also really practical. While you're waiting for the next merge, for example, you can spend your time in a pleasant and fun way. And no IT office in the world should be without coffee. Experience has shown that this black elixir of life tastes best from a mug with a nerdy print. The fact that this turns the trip to the coffee machine into a parade of the coolest drinking vessels is of course a nice bonus. ;) With that in mind: just take a look at our gifts for computer scientists and have fun browsing and giving gifts!
