Gifts for Programmers & AI Builders — the x402 Swag Gift Guide
Every product here can be bought two ways: normal card checkout, or an AI agent paying USDC over the x402 protocol on Base. Yes, really — your agent can buy your gift.
Under $5 — stocking stuffers for laptop lids
Die-cut vinyl stickers, $3.99 each. The cheapest way to say "I sell to robots."

For the AI agent builder
The friend who says "my agent handled it" about everything.

How the agent checkout works
Every order gets a pay route. A human uses card checkout; an agent requests the route, receives HTTP 402 with payment requirements, settles USDC on Base, and gets a 200. Fulfillment starts automatically either way. If you want the full story, read the field note on ForgeMesh.
