Help me choose a gadget

[PlanesTrainsAutomobiles]

I am not a tech person at all! Need to buy a gadget as a work farewell gift for a guy who works in IT and is into tech-type gadgets. Anything new on the market that would make a good gift? Not too cheap but not breaking the bank.

One of those 20-in-1 weather station things?
MYBB premium membership?
I ❤︎ Apple stickers for his car?
Surge protector plug?

Hard to say without knowing what he already has or a price range.

A Pi is always handy but they've gone up in price so much in recent years.

If you can't think of something, you can always buy me this: https://shop.zimaspace.com/products...erver?utm_source=landing-page&utm_medium=menu

Honestly plenty small ones are better than 1 big flash drive for me.

1x for Windows 11
1x for Windows 10
1x for memtestx86
1x for HirensPE
1x for Ubuntu
1x for general kak, iGPU drivers, printer drivers, Adobe reader.

A decent size USB is okay for some uses. From your own example, you could host Win 10 and Win 11 on 1 USB containing Ventoy + a myriad of other OS'

Why do you "need" to buy a gift?

Take him for a beer after work or if he doesn't drink smoke some weed with him.

He'll lose that gadget next week, but memories last forever.
