Totally valid. Don’t buy a keyboard for someone who likes keyboards unless you REALLY know what they want. Don’t buy technology for a technologist unless you really get where they are and want to be next.

I agree on non tech things. I really enjoy the physical hobbies that need focus but not thought. Tasks my body can just do with finger knowledge. (Making ammo for example requires total focus but no decision making)

Tools: I recently encountered a really nice 1/4” mini driver from Felo. Someone should make a novelty gift socket set containing only 10mm sockets.

Gearwrench wrenches are very nice, flexhead if you’re feeling flush (make sure you know if your geek needs metric or imperial)
