Great Gift Ideas for Computer Teachers, Programmers, Engineers, Gamers, Geeks, Techies, etc.

Have you been struggling for a unique gift for someone interested in computers and technology. Anyone who enjoys original, unique, and colorful art, especially those who like computers will enjoy ChipScapes. If you think technology is cool, I have some ideas for you!

I have organized some of my artworks based on interests and occasions. When I create artworks I usually have in mind someone who would love this as much as I do. Also, I have made suggestions based on budget. You will find Starter $10-$200, Mainstream $200-$400, and High-End $400+ ideas. So, here are some thoughts on a really special gift.
