The obvious missing choice: a cash-card of some sort; preferably not specific to any store. Can't go wrong with choosing the gift if they choose it themselves.

I believe that fits under the heading of "Other"
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Computers, peripherals, etc. etc....
But for a passionate developer, give him a good problem to solve and he'd cherish doing that

Don't get me wrong I like giving and receiving gifts. But at the same time I think most people are absolutely impossible to shop for. Either what they or I would want is too expensive to give as a gift, or cheap enough that the receiver either already bought it, or doesn't really want it.
There is of course the 3rd category. Stuff where you are getting something that is in the right group of things, but not the exact right thing. "Awesome! You got me a laptop. Oh... what am I going to do with a Mac?"

Yup. I have to restrain my impulse shopping to make sure my family members have affordable options to buy me gifts. It can be annoying at times.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I'm one of those people. So I generally ask for gift cards, generally for a specific store, and pool it all together to get an expensive thing (that's how I've purchased most of my computer).

Sell the Mac and buy something you want.

i want to buy a Mac, would you like to sell

I'm fairly impossible to buy for. Considering I make more money than most or all of my relatives, I probably already have what I want. And anything I do want but don't have is out of their price range (e.g., a Mac).
And I'm extremely picky. For example, my aunt is my only relative who has been able to buy me clothes that I actually like. And I really don't like getting gifts I don't want, because then I feel like I should hold onto it even though it's just taking up space.

No, we test our code, evaluate it's performance and find rendering glitches. Writing the games is often more interesting than playing them.

The only game I have seriously played in the last few years has been DDR. I wouldn't mind a few more pads.
