8 Gifts you can get the computer enthusiasts in your life that theyll appreciate
If you have someone in your life whose life revolves around their computer and you don�t know what to give them�this is Uncle Tom�s list of 8 non-computer items a computer enthusiast will find helpful.�
�
I�ve used computers personally for close to 30 years now. This is what I�d find useful as a gift:
�
1. Brother P-Touch labeler and extra batteries and label tape. The enthusiast will have lots of items that look identical and they�ll need to know which one is which. Your gift helps distinguish them at a glance.
2. Power strip. You can never have enough outlets. Get one with a long cord, too.
3. A shredder that can handle DVDs and CDs.�
4. A $50 Amazon gift card. They�ll need to order something after the holidays.
5. Stand alone physical kitchen timer with a loud annoying bell. This is for when they�re engrossed on-line, yet doing laundry or cooking at the same time.
6. Ream of copy paper. Occasionally they�ll need to print something. Sometimes they�ll even need to print it on nice paper for someone else to look at.
7. A box of Zip-Loc style bags and a box of snap-top containers. This goes well with Present #1.The enthusiast will have lots of small items they need to keep separate from each other.�
8. A box of personalized Post-It or Sticky type notes. The P-Touch is for permanent labeling situations. Your enthusiasts will need to make quick temporary notes on many occasions.��
