i still have 20 LeOlympia kits with Noisebridge Red circuitboards with the
noisebridge logo!
they are surfacemount Arduino Leonardo clones. I also have solder paste
stencils and solder paste so we can build them hot-plate style in a class.
the leonardo / leolympia is cool because its a real USB device, so it can
pretend to be a serial port, or a keyboard or mouse or disk drive or
whatever!

for less than the price of a fancy cup of coffee, you can rescue a child
from the boredom of not having their very own microcontroller to program.

while you're shopping for all the kiddies on your list, get a spool of
addressable LEDs for just 27 cents per light - and cut the spool into
pieces whose length corresponds to how much you care about each recipient.

and of course they will need a way to power the thing while they're
wearing it, so don't forget a rechargable USB battery pack for only $2.53

don't forget micro USB cables: (short or long)

maybe someone will make a color POV for it?
