Still struggling to think of how to reward your hard-working tech team this festive season or just looking for a Christmas present for yourself? Check out silicon.com's suggestions for the perfect techie gifts.
First up, for the would-be codebreaker: a pocket version of the Enigma codebreaking machine from Bletchley Park.
This smaller version of the Enigma works on exactly the same principles as its bigger brother, used by German military forces to encipher messages.

You missed the best techie gift of this year. The Personal Soundtrack T-shirt. The only appreciable difference between "Heros" and the rest of us is that "Heros" have incidental music.
As an April Fool, ThinkGeek did a spoof of a T-shirt with a speaker in the chest, that you could program with your own incidental music e.g. Spagetti Western "Stand-off" theme, Benny Hill Saxophone "Chase" theme, Romeo and Juliet "Love" theme, etc.
The response was so overwhelming that they went ahead and developed it.
However unromantic you may think someone's self-image may be, I guarantee you that every single Geek you ever met would cherish the gift of their very own incidental music.
