top gifts for network engineers

We often find ourselves designing for all sorts of IT related job roles – it’s what we love to do!

And one of our favorite such roles is also one of the most under-appreciated ones – that of the IT network engineer. Those computer folk that ensure our networks are running smoothly and securely via the infinite maze of routers, switches, servers, cables and workstations. Whether you’re after reference posters, funny stickers or amusing tumblers, we got all you network engineers covered – or if you’re buying for someone who looks after computer networks, look no further!

Our Favorite Gifts for Network Engineers

Network Engineer Holographic Sticker

We just love our new holographic stickers and so do our customers, so we were excited to showcase our “job labels” range in holographic format. One of the bestselling designs has been our Network Engineer sticker full of funny IT networking references. “Gatekeeper to Internet” and “Trusts No One” are a few of the label disclaimers that network engineers will be able to relate to. It’s 5×5 inches so big enough to be seen from afar and will stick to almost all clean indoor surfaces.
