2024 Engineer's Holiday Gift Guide

Nov. 8, 2024

What do engineers and programmers want in their stocking this year? We are looking for your recommendations.

As the holidays come rolling in, children and adults are making a list of their favorite items with the hope of receiving some in the near future. Full-time and budding engineers or programmers tend to have a list that differs from the rest of the world. Of course, things like the latest smartphone or car might be on everyone's list.

Our editors offer up some gifts that are fun, practical, and affordable. You may wind up buying one yourself, but it can't hurt to have list if someone asks for suggestions.

Guides from our editors will be added to the list below. You can include your suggestions as well. Check out our newsletters to see when the new gift guides show up.
