You can also buy a complete bundle or a starter kit like this if you think he will have fun with all the electronic parts :)Īnd I confirm, it can be a pretty cool gift for a friend to build :).To finish if you have a large budget for your friend there is a lot of accessories you can find in the related articles of the Pi on Amazon, like a webcam, a motion sensor module.Else, he can use a classic keyboard and mouse set, or some mobile solution or even a snes usb controller if he wants to build a retrogaming console About the controller, if you think he will build a media center linked to his TV with the HDMI cable, some TVs allow the use of 'CEC' controller, and so his TV command will be automatically compatible with the Pi.An hdmi cable if you think he will use it on his TV or standard PC monitor.A usb wifi adapter if the can't plug an ethernet cable.a microSD card for the OS (no preference I took the first link I saw).A case or another (You can also build one with Legos! :D ).

A power cable: the 'Alim' was a bad use of a french word for power cable.But for the more standard it will be at least: It will depends highly on what you expect him to do with it, and also your budget. Hi there, sorry for the late answer I was out for the week-end!
