Death Wish Coffee
$18.99
Show your appreciation for your on-call staffer's willingness to tend to those middle-of-the-night crises with a special blend of Java made seemingly just for them.
Password Notebook and UltraViolet Blacklight Markers
$20
Make 'em cringe at the notebook and laugh at the thought of filling it with "invisible" ink. Anyone who has been busted for poor password hygiene or who simply wants to tease a security co-worker who can take a joke should consider the completely insecure password notebook as a gimme for gag gift fare. Take it to the next level with some of these blacklight markers, which are also kind of fun in their own right.
Transparent Cutaway Lockpicking Set
$24.95
Whether it's for a junior penetration tester or your security co-worker's kids, this handy lock picking practice set is a good starter pack for those looking to hone their skills in the art of unauthorized access.
Binary Necktie
$25.95
Nothing gets attention and smiles like a bit of nerdy neckwear from frequent con attendees and speakers. Wild Ties offers several varieties, including this binary pattern, as well as motherboard and circuit board designs.
Circuit Board Earrings
$19.50
Security ladies out there will appreciate having their own feminine conference fashion choices available that can still help them express their l33t status. Nerd accessories aren't just for dude bros.
Pico Video Projector
$229.95
It's not cheap, but if your team has got a dozen or so people willing to chip in $20 for the boss, this slick tiny projector is the perfect tool for your CISO to pull out during those brutal presos to the board. Who knows, maybe it can help the boss score some extra budget for those added people you've been begging for.
Secret Decoder Ring
$17.99
A definite step up from those cereal box treasures, this neat gift is a thoughtful and fun find for the encryption gurus in your midst.
Circuit Board Socks
$11.50
In this profession, security geeks sometimes have to make the dress-code trade-off. Accept that high-paying gig? Or continue wearing black t-shirts and jeans to the office? For those co-workers who you know chafe at the unimaginative button-down shirts day in and day out, offer them a consolation gift: some funky socks to wear in quiet protest.
Cascading Binary Wrapping Paper
$15.45
Whether you picked out an awesome geeky gift or something more utilitarian, get a smile from your happy hacker with this wrapping paper.
