I’m doing a secret Santa with some friends and I’ve left it way too late, so I need some ideas! My budget is £30, and I’m buying for a friend who recently started a career in web development. I want to get him some gifts related to that. Any useful or funny ideas would be appreciated!
I got my coworker a mini 3-key keyboard—it’s a gag gift for a web developer, but also functional! The only keys are cut, copy, and paste

If it can be remapped, it’s a fantastic product!

LLMs are superior—magic ducks.
LLMs are just rubber debugging ducks that deceive you.
A box of tissues for the inevitable tears.
A brand new custom PC build with all the bells and whistles. You’d be the secret Santa of the year!

For programming, you might want to consider a second monitor, maybe one that’s portrait-style. Otherwise, the main monitor might seem underwhelming.

It didn’t say he was a Rust developer.
Let’s keep that our little secret.
A one-month subscription to cursor AI or Copilot.
An XXL mousepad. I use mine every day on all of my computers. Some examples:
How about Discord Nitro or a cool RGB mouse or keyboard?
Consider a rubber duck, a small Logitech mousepad (easy to bring to the office), a laptop stand, or a monitor stand (there are some affordable options on Amazon with gas pistons). A power bank is also a reliable backup gift.
