READING TIME: MIN

Christmas greetings, everybody! Wow, Christmas is just around the corner, which means that I have to hurry up and buy presents for all of the amazing WordPress developers who work at Vipe Studio.

What do I get them, though? My friends from our WordPress Agency for Development are some of the most amazing people I know, so I really want to surprise them with something special for this year’s holidays.

This is why I decided to make all of you a part of my brainstorming process. Let’s see what presents are best suited for the WordPress developers in your life! But first, why not create a “programmer’s gift persona” to make our presents-picking a tad easier?

You’re probably thinking, “Viptor, what in the name of Santa Claus is a “programmer’s gift persona”?

This is just like a “buyer persona”, but instead of making a semi-fictional representation of your ideal customer, you make a depiction of what it truly means to be a programmer. This, in turn, should help us understand and relate better to our programmer friends, so we can choose the best Christmas gifts for them.

Without further ado, here comes Viptor Claus with his “programmer’s gift persona”! Let’s find out what are some of the basic characteristics inherent to WordPress developers.

WordPress Developers: Naughty or Nice?

And so, what are the (educated) assumptions we can make in order to understand the audience that we will be buying Christmas presents for? Are WordPress developers on the “naughty” or on the “nice” list of Santa Claus?

I am pretty certain that most programmers are on the “nice” list, and when it comes to my best friends from Vipe Studio, my certainty level quickly skyrockets to 100%.

Thanks to the job I do at our WordPress development agency, I know for a fact that programmers are people who rather than following trends, prefer to set them.

This makes the IT industry such an exciting sector, and I’m so incredibly lucky to be a part of it.

Obviously, no two WordPress developers are alike – they all have their unique and vibrant personalities. That makes them some of the most fun people to be around.

However, from my experience, programmers do share some similar characteristics that make them seem and feel like they are from the same team. After all, the WordPress community is called “a community” because the people who are a part of it have similar interests and are all passionate about the same thing – our favourite CMS.

So, what are the common things I have noticed about the WordPress developers who are a part of Vipe Studio’s team?

First things first – our programmers definitely spend a lot of time in front of their computer screens. After all, this is where all the magic (or coding) happens.

Due to this fact, it is no surprise that everyone at our WordPress development company is crazy about new technology and innovation in the web development world. I’ll make a bold assumption and say that most WordPress developers are like this.

My programmer friends are doubtlessly some of the most hard-working people I know. And you know that hard-working people are usually very busy. However, I believe that no matter how overloaded with projects they are, WordPress developers still manage to find time to have fun.

Here are some additional common characteristics I have noticed the programmers at Vipe Studio share. Your developer friends probably share some of them too:

WordPress developers are total geeks: Programmers are not only geeks, but they are also smart geeks. This means that any geeky, pop culture-related gift is sure to bring a smile to their faces. Also, as the old saying goes, “A typical programmer is a person who is knowledgeable about coding and Star Wars”.
WordPress developers love high-tech gadgets: Programmers are very tech-oriented people, so they will always find a place on their desks for a new, shiny gadget or tech accessory that can improve their workflow.
WordPress developers are less materialistic and more action-oriented: Programmers tend to appreciate not the most expensive presents but rather the ones who have been chosen mindfully to reflect their action-oriented lifestyle.

6 Christmas Gift Ideas for WordPress Developers

Now that we established our “programmer’s gift persona” and we know what are some of the most common characteristics that WordPress developers share, it is time to present you with a list of 6 Christmas gift ideas you can use to bring joy to your programmer friends.

Let’s check out some awesome Christmas present ideas that are approved by everyone at our WordPress Agency for Development!

1. Baby Groot Pen Holder

The little details have the power to transform your workspace and make it feel cozy and welcoming.

Automation Testing and Why It’s Crucial for Web Development and WordPress

I think that we can all safely assume that there aren’t any WordPress developers in the world who can possibly resist this heart-meltingly cute Baby Groot Pen Holder.

Not only is this an adorable Christmas gift idea, but it can also be used as a flower pot if the programmer in your life is more into gardening than stationary.

2. Binary Wrist Watch

Ok, this one is pretty awesome, and I’m sure that all WordPress developers will agree with me.

A binary clock displays the time in the binary system, which is the language of computers. Neat, isn’t it? Name a programmer who wouldn’t consider this totally epic. I’ll wait.

This is the perfect gift for anyone working within the IT industry. It’s geeky, it’s nerdy, it’s fun. There are plenty of different brands that offer binary wrist watches, so choose the one that’s best suited for the programmer in your life.

3. Laptop Stickers

One of the first things that I noticed about the WordPress developers from Vipe Studio when I came to work with them was the ridiculous amount of stickers they had on their laptops. Honestly, it’s a sight to behold!

From there, I figured out that a programmer must simply love their laptop stickers. This is why I think they make a fun and geeky Christmas present.

For programmers, I recommend choosing laptop stickers with pop culture characters on them, as WordPress developers are known for their profound pop culture knowledge.

4. Millennium Falcon Desk Lamp

Everyone at our WordPress development agency is obsessed with Star Wars. And I mean OBSESSED. We have so much Star Wars-related merch at our office. It’s crazy.

I have come to understand that most WordPress developers have a soft spot for Star Wars. It’s obviously the common denominator between programmers. Honestly, I can’t blame them because I, too, agree that Star Wars is awesome.

You know what they say: Always be a programmer. Unless you can be a Jedi. Then always be a Jedi.

To that I say, why not be both? With this Millennium Falcon Desk Lamp, programmers can do coding to their heart’s content, while at the same time feeling like a true Jedi, racing through space in the most iconic starship known to Earth.

For WordPress developers, this a perfect gift is! Don’t you think?

5. PlayStation Alarm Clock

There is nothing like letting off steam after an intense coding session with your favourite PlayStation game.

What's Been Happening With Viptor Since He Joined the Vipe Team?

Oftentimes, WordPress developers are not only highly skilled in programming, but they are also pretty dedicated gamers.

If your programmer friend matches that description too, why not get them something that will bring a smile to their faces first thing in the morning?

Our WordPress development company thinks that this PlayStation Alarm Clock can be the perfect Christmas present for any programmer who needs a little extra motivation to get up in the early morning.

Shaped like a PlayStation controller, this alarm clock will add some fun to the morning routine of all hard-working WordPress developers.

6. Laser Keyboard Projector

WordPress developers type A LOT on their keyboards. Lines of code are racing through their minds most of the time, which means that they need to be prepared to type something they came up with any time, anywhere.

A Laser Keyboard Projector is a marvelous little gadget that allows you to project a keyboard onto any flat surface. With it, your programmer friends will be able to type anything they like, avoiding the inconvenience of the small keyboards, typical for smartphone devices.

The Laser Keyboard Projector connects via USB and Bluetooth and can be used with Windows, IOS and Android devices.

Our WordPress Agency for Development thinks this is a really cool Christmas gift idea that will impress your programmer friends.
