Re:Ask HN: What extra-ordinary presents can you think of for... by mikewarot on Wednesday December 06, 2023 @02:31AM (#38541320)
A cheap micrometer, and some simple hand tools for working with metals, plastics, etc. Files, screwdrivers, rulers, etc.

An Arduino starter kit with plenty of servos, sensors, etc. All run off a few batteries, and relatively safe.

It's amazing what kind of instrumentation you can get for less than $100 these days.
