Gift-Buying Tips
- 1.Humor over gadgets. They already have every gadget. They don't have enough shirts that roast their users.
- 2.Avoid "tech" gifts. Don't buy USB drives, keyboards, or monitors unless they specifically asked. They're picky about their gear.
- 3.Coffee is always right. Mugs, beans, or subscriptions — you literally cannot go wrong.
