Ask HN: Christmas gift ideas?

What is the gift you're most excited about this year?

Whether tech gadgetry for myself or meaningful gifts for my significant other I would appreciate anyone willing to share their research this year.



Self-promotion: know someone working crazy hours? why not give the gift of a sane workweek?

I wrote a book about how programmers can get to work/life balance, shorter workweek, or whatever a sane work week means to them specifically.

Covers:

* Skills you need (from productivity to negotiation) and practical tips on how to get there.

* The different paths you can take.

If you buy it as a gift use the receipient's email, so they get the copy (and future updates) rather than you.

Somewhat disappointed the Vision Kit for Raspberry Pi (https://aiyprojects.withgoogle.com/vision, https://developers.googleblog.com/2017/11/introducing-aiy-vi...) won't be ready before Christmas. Haven't found anything comparable exciting yet.


Personally pretty excited about buying a bunch of sub-$30 drones and giving them as stocking-stuffers. Should make for a great family and friends holiday party.


Do you have time to link the one you recommend?
