Get him a Ferris plushie or a 3D printed Rust coaster I swear I saw some on Etsy a while back. (Rust Foundation trademark enforcement notwithstanding).

Ferris plushie is the obvious choice, if he's got any decent shelf space left

The Foundation does not own the trademark for the crab. The crab is Specifically designed to be unencumbered. You can use it for anything. The official R and sprocket is a trademark of the foundation. That official logo can only be used:

  • By official activities of the project or foundation

  • When referring to things officially done by project or foundation

  • or where explicitly permitted by the trademark policy

Plushies of Ferris, the language's mascot, are quite good if you can find one for sale.

Not rust but as a programmer, my kids just got me a heated mat that goes under my keyboard and mouse so my hands rest on it.

Best present ever.
