So you have a programmer to buy a gift for? Not easy because you might not understand their strange world or the strange humour. We have a solution - just read on. If you are the programmer in question then just optimize the code and buy the gift yourself.

Bugs - so funny. This is a mug that all programmers deserve to drink from to remind them of the true state of the universe. Only available from Amazon.com but it ships to other non-US addresses.

Eat, sleep, code - sounds familiar? This Tshirt is available in a range of colors and sizes and has the huge advantage of actually having some code on the front and not some random advertising logo. I'm not sure of the language but I'm worried about its syntax highlighting...

Available from Amazon.com only.

If you want a something similar, I think better, from Amazon.uk then what about a quantified version? Not sure those times are right - most of us can code and eat at the same time. Some can even code in their sleep and do most nights....

This isn't a joke. This is what all our job security is based on - and who needs to learn Old High Elvish. We just don't bother to document.... Its a bumper sticker available from Amazon.com

No one actually needs a binary wrist watch but.... I also need to tell you that $9/£6 it isn't going to break the bank and so makes a good novelty item - don't expect Apple Watch quality!

Put simply this is the only watch smart a programmer needs but only if they really know binary well enough to pull of the trick of telling the time without having to look at their computer screen. Available from Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk

This is a classic, not sure why, but it is. This is something many of us programmers just don't have outside of CSS - yes style. I'm also a bit doubtful about what I'd put in it? My tablet perhaps or the junk I usually have to carry on the back seat. Still as I say its a classic. 

Available from Amazon.com  and from Amazon.co.uk

A joke you cannot afford to miss if you have a side project, up to 2 years old, this holiday season then you have to get one of these baby rompers. Make sure they wear it often and get a good stock of photos for the future embarrassment of said subject - you wont regret it. 

Available in a range of sizes and colors from Amazon.com and Amazon.uk.

And finally for this roundup we have another horror story you can wear on your chest. Doesn't it always end with "How did that ever work?" Is this a universal law that should be added to the cannon? Obviously. This is available from Amazon.com in a range of sizes and colors. 

If you want to shop at Amazon.co.uk then there is a slightly different design with the same sentiment also available in a range of colors and sizes.
