I’ve been searching online for some trinket/budget gifts but couldn’t find anything interesting. The person I have in mind for the gift is in his 60’s, into tech and a geek, although the gift doesn’t necessarily need to cater to his geeky side.

I’m just dropping the question here since Lemmy has a solid geek/tech userbase, and maybe some of you have better ideas than me.

TIA

    What’s their opinion on puzzles and such? There are some fun wooden gizmos with gears and what have you

      His opinion is that they’re cool but in reality he’s too smart for them. I’ve gifted him stuff like that in the past and he solved them in seconds. I’ve also seen him crack gizmo puzzles in other people’s homes to the astonishment of the owner.

      I could look into those “guide the ball in a maze” type, which require motor skills and not just thinking. I was hoping to find something funny though, but no luck so far.
