Considering that hackers are usually open to experimenting new things, why not try something new on Christmas that could become one of your passions? This could be a good time to enter the world of tea/tea-brewing, something that a caffeinated hacker should be able to appreciate. Buy some starter kit (below $50) and see how it goes.
Gadget-wise, if you don't have it already you should definitely buy an ebook reader.
- limmeau 16y agoWhat's in that starter kit for $50? Just tea? (BTW: another gift idea: an infrared thermometer and a copy of Cooking for Geeks.)
- bedris 16y agoIt would probably include a few types of tea, plus a tea mug (with a mesh infuser for steeping the loose-leaf tea and a lid to maintain water temperature), some measuring utensils, etc.
- drtse4 16y agoConsidering that you are in Germany, these two companies from uk: cantonteaco.com and jingtea.com (suggested in the tea for hacker thread* , i've just done my first order from them), have various packs with a selection on different teas+infuser and the prices are in the 30-40£ range. Also, check out Steepster.com if you need reviews about a particular tea, the founder is on HN, jroos1. * http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1934051 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1934051
