If there is a Web developer in your life, you might be looking for the perfect gift for him or her that acknowledges their life and work. These gifts will both help them in their work and keep them happy with their life. These are the products that I use most often while I'm working on Web pages. In alphabetical order.
1. Adobe Photoshop CS 8.0
Photoshop is an essential tool for a professional Web developer. Yes, I know, it's expensive. But it's worth it. It's the best graphics modification program available. It allows you to make any type of change to images, create your own new images, and update your photos for perfect visual effect. Available for Mac and Windows.
2. Bradsoft TopStyle
Stylesheets are a vital part of the modern XHTML document. And TopStyle integrates well with HomeSite and Dreamweaver. Plus it offers a lot of features. It makes it really easy to add styles to Web pages, without having to remember all the properties. For Windows only.3. Dell Laptop
While it's not vital that a Web developer have a laptop rather than a desktop, I like the freedom that having a portable computer gives me. I can work on my site wherever I go. And the laptops available now have enough power to run the programs I need. Mac lovers can buy a MacBook Pro (Compare Prices but they are a bit more expensive.4. Linksys Wireless Networking
Combine a laptop with wireless networking and you can work on your Web site throughout your entire house. Be sure, if you use wireless networking, that you set up a software firewall on your computer for more security.5. Logitech Cordless Keyboard and Trackball
Are you gathering that I don't like wires? Seriously though, a cordless keyboard and trackball are really nice. I have a Logitech ergonomic keyboard that helps me type longer. Plus, I use a trackball, as I find it easier to use even without flat surfaces, like on the couch.6. (Adobe) Macromedia Dreamweaver 8
Dreamweaver is one of the best WYSIWYG Web page editors on the market. I like to use it when I'm designing a site. It makes it really easy to throw together ideas on a page and end up with valid XHTML at the end. For Windows and Macintosh.7. (Adobe) Macromedia HomeSite
And then there's HomeSite. HomeSite is my editor of choice for daily Web page editing. The color coding, the extended search and replace, the automatic saves, the XHTML support, the code sweeper, there are so many features about it that keep me using it day after day.8. Gel Wrist Rest
Wrist rests are important for Web developers, because we do a lot of typing. That's why I have an ergonomic chair and keyboard as well. And I try not to type more more than 30 minutes without a break.
