Tech/techy gift?

[Dackzy]

Okay I need to buy a 50$ or less, gift for a tech geek, the thing is that I don't really know what to buy. It does not have to be a tech gift just something neat.

No IEMs or headphones.

mere omkring 500kr, men jeg skriver 50$ da det vil koste 500kr eller mindre i Danmark

sadly he already owns a mech keyboard and a nice mouse and he has 1tb of ssd...

 

I cannot come up with a neat thing for him, it doesn't have to be tech, just neat.

How about a small lightbox? My manager at work has this really interesting small lightbox that has 3 rows where you can interchange letters to create sayings you wish to have for that day. It makes me laugh every time..

 

It's still tech right?

This?

Could be fun. I mean, it's not tech, but it's neat. Never know what kind of person would like cubes.

I thought the budget was $50, not $300.

Or are you just unrealistically lucky?

well things that generally cost 50$ in the US, would cost 70-80$ here and I got 15$ off it so just in budget

The NES Classic has a supply issue, though. So basically it's never in stock and people that bought them are scalping on Ebay and whatnot.

Is that only an issue in the US?

Oh wow.

That's a great gift, then. Those things are incredibly difficult to get your hands on.

I hope he is going to be happy with it...
