What to give to your programmer friend?
(Spoiler: the tech gifts list is at the end of the article!)
This issue is always relevant to us. At Glorium, we congratulate our employees not only on their birthdays but also on the anniversaries of their work in the company. In addition, our benefits include gifts for corporate holidays and special occasions such as marriage and the birth of a child.
And there is also a professional holiday – Programmer’s Day celebrated on the 256th day of the year. By the way, the date is not random: this number can be written in 8-bit byte format.
Choosing a gift is a challenging and time-consuming task. This year, we decided to get ready for the holidays well in advance. How did we do that? We conducted a simple survey with only three questions.
- What gifts do you like to receive?
- What are your favorite holidays?
- What is it customary to give as a gift to your family?
We’ve shared the somewhat unexpected results below. We have our top ideas for exciting gifts right after this list, so keep scrolling.
Based on the number of votes, there were several choices for fifth place. These include an exciting souvenir with a fun print or access to a hobby master class. By the way, an extra day off is also considered a good gift.
Tasty goodies are in fourth place. Think of a tea gift box, a supply of chocolates, or a bottle of quality wine.
In third place, the desire to travel won, in the form of a tour or a trip to a picturesque location. Yes, we love to discover new places on our wonderful planet.
Regarding the second place, it turned out (although we knew this before) that many of our teammates like to acquire new knowledge and skills. So the second position was taken by the option “educational course in a non-major specialty” as a gift.
By the way, at Glorium, we answer “yes” to 95% of our team’s requests for specialized training!
What are the winning gifts? Those that look good and are functional at the same time. There is no doubt that specialists in our field are well-versed in these things. They know how to combine beauty with practicality in everything.
Since the unanimous victory was given to beautiful and valuable gifts, we briefly reviewed what you can give to an IT specialist.
