I'm a developer in my early 30s, similar situation. Here are some cool gifts I would like, maybe it'll give you some ideas! - A solar powered battery pack (so I can go camping and charge devices/etc.) - Books! If your friend is really into a particular subject, a highly-rated book on the subject would certainly make me happy. - Shirts. I'm a little picky with clothing in general, but I do really enjoy funny tech t-shirts. - Home office accessories. Things like exhaustion mats for standing desks, posters to hang up, a mini fan, stuff like that. - Food! Food is a universally great gift =) - A zoom dinner! My family recently did this: they ordered food for us and we all ate together over zoom. Was really a nice way to catch up and have a good time.

A good battery pack is actually a very nice idea for an utilitarian gift that won't just be collecting dust. I didn't really need one but got one for free and it often proves useful. Surprisingly enough in my case I use it mostly where I can technically get to an outlet but a charger would be inconvenient or a trip hazard (especially if people are drinking) so a portable battery is handy.
