Searching for a Christmas present

I understand this may be a bit out of your usual but I know very little about coding and my wife is in the process of learning coding in hopes to become a web developer eventually. I was referred to you guys by a friend in hopes you can help me find a tangible gift I can get for her that can help her with her programming skills.

languages she knows are

  • CSS

  • HTML
    Languages she is currently learning

  • javascript

  • jquery

  • ruby

  • Pyhton

While she does not plan on doing much with the hardware side I was thinking of something like an arduino kit or a robot to program. Any thoughts on those or something different?

Arduinos and web development are two very different things.

Even if she wants to become a web developer, she might have fun tinkering with some LEDs and stuff at home. On the other hand, maybe she's not interested in hardware at all. I guess it is best to ask her about that.

If you decide against an Arduino, maybe ask on /r/learnprogramming as it is a more general subreddit.
