My day job is as a software engineer, so I have a special appreciation for working with programmers and engineers. We're a quirky and tend to have eclectic tastes, and that made this gift guide hard to assemble even though I'm one myself! Unlike most of my gift guides, this list includes lots of ideas that are just things that engineers would like such as a 3D printer – for pancakes. Whether your budget is for a funny mug or for a vacuum robot, this gift guide has something for you!
