Message me if you want specific recommendations cause I know pretty much everything techy :)
I'm a programmer. This is my most favorite keyboard I've ever bought. It's mechanical, but the "clickity" is perfect, and low travel (it's 69.99... and 59.99 for the one without the number pad). They list a few options, but the one's that I find great have "Kailh Latest Low Profile Blue Switches". Also the back lighting is really nice.

I don't know what language he's working with, but this book is excellent too. Many of the examples are centered around java/C#, but most concepts apply across many languages. It motivated me to explore further after reading, and to really polish up on my skill set.

Maybe look into purchasing tickets to a cooking class! Depending on where you go, prices will vary, but it could be a neat idea :)
The Gift of Nothing is such a memorable, sentimental book, and I'm sure she'd be delighted to receive it.
A busy mom on the go could use a change in how she drinks water
This cooling eye cover might relieve stress and headaches
Don't forget oils to go with an essential oil diffuser. Perfect for making bed time relaxing
Enjoy those few precious moments of quiet coffee in the morning watching birds
Winter is coming
A smidge over budget, but warm towels after a shower are revolutionary
I put one of these in my bathroom where the kitty litter goes, kids can make bathrooms smell just as bad
GET RID OF TUPERWARE, REUSABLE ZIP LOC BAGS ARE PERFECT FOR A SOCCER MOM

Massages on the go
Hope at least one of those help!
These Night Vision Goggles seem awesome and might feel like xbox come to life?
If he will be driving soon you could always get him an emergency kit for his car or other utility tool that might be helpful.
If he is like a lot of other 15 year olds and is glued to his phone he might like a portable cell phone charger
Another cell phone related OR music related idea would be an app store/itunes gift card for in-game purchases for phone games as well as music
You could also do some nice gaming headphones or perhaps new ear buds or headphones to use with his ipod or phone?
I second Thinkgeek. Love that place.
If you like to cook, some fun new kitchen toys? Like a vegetable spiralizer. I have one and think it's really fun. Examples:
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=spiralizer
Some of the new ceramic nonstick pots/pans? I like this little one for egg sandwiches/mcmuffins: https://www.amazon.com/GreenPan-Ceramic-Non-Stick-Mini-Round/dp/B015Y20MVK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1479936364&sr=8-3&keywords=ceramic+egg+pan
Coffee or tea accessories? Desk accessories? USB gadgets? (Visit a local office supply store for ideas?)
Star wars stuff? I bought this for myself: https://www.amazon.com/Plasticolor-003700R01-Star-Accordion-Sunshade/dp/B00COYNZJ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479936991&sr=8-1&keywords=star+wars+car+shade

Hey, you can create a list of things you like on Amazon, and share it with your family....
There's a whole bunch of great Harry Potter themed items out there so you should be able to find some cross-over items easily. You can check out gifts for Gamers & Geeks for starters on the Harry Potter stuff or click the Harry Potter tag for more ideas from that site.
As for fantasy books - my favorites are the Dragons of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey or the two 5 book sets, The Belgariad and The Mallorean by David Eddings.
I also fell in love with this cute soft toy at Ikea on the weekend - they have a whole range created from children's drawings so there might be something there for her too :)
Do you still need ideas, OP?
Consider Cajals butterflies of the Soul
http://www.amazon.com/Cajals-Butterflies-Soul-Science-Art/dp/0195392701
It is an art-book that features lots of pictures from early neuroscience research. I'm not sure if that is the kind of thing she would like, but as a Neuroscience student I love it. If she is less into art and more into Academic neuroscience, how about a good neuroscience book? Kendel's Principles of Neural Science is the 1800 page bible of Neuroscience, and everyone going into the field should own a copy. But, unless she actually studies it, it might be far too in depth. It is not for people with a Passing interest.
Alternatively, depending on her particular interests and level of education in the field, something from this list-

Oh this is a fun one! The five finger death punch online merch store has non-clothing items. I’m kind of a fan of this neon light. Any neon light would be awesome for her bedroom, like this do what you love one. Or these guitars (ok, done with the neon now I promise! I love it though!). Continuing on the decor theme, wall art?
More ideas:
Adorable yet functional ffdp tote
Interesting book about the history of metal
A little pricey, but great for any music fan and budding creative
heavy metal coloring book...I couldn’t resist!
Ear plugs to protect your ears at shows but are still cool...ish
How about something to relax like this gorgeous soft throw, luxe candle, and cozy crosswords book? Or if she prefers boozing over crosswords, you can include a bottle of her favorite drink and perhaps this beautiful set of stemless glasses?
A good device for making great coffee is an Aeropress - it's really portable, doesn't need power and is about thirty bucks. If she doesn't have one, might be a good buy.
A nice desk lamp perhaps? You can get some cool, unique ones from Etsy, refurbished vintage and inventive ultra-modern ones. Something to write under into the wee small hours.
I would recommend the aeropress. It has replaced my drip coffee maker. It takes as much time and attention as a drip machine, and produces phenomenal coffee. Also super easy clean up.

Wreck This Journals
She makes a bunch of different versions. They might be more in stores but online they usually $10
Are pretty fun for all ages and genders. If you conduct an image google “wreck this journal ideas” you can see how it’s “meant to be done, “but there is no wrong way. :)
How about a Cricut machine? Among crafty people it's considered a pretty cool thing. You can do a ton with it, from scrapbooking to mug making, to wall hangers. Also, they've been on sale a bunch on Amazon I've noticed.
I think it’s best to get one with a coin pocket then. Do you need to get it in store or can you order online? I found heaps on Amazon...

Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 - Ice Blue Instant Camera https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WW64YM6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_hKCbAbFT3418Q
I was given cash for my birthday and bought one for myself. I'm 20 and use it all the time. I love having a tangible photo. This would allow your boyfriend and his kids to do something together and give them something to hold onto.

Penguins have been my favorite animal ever since I read "Mr. Popper's Penguins" in 2nd grade (circa 1992, probably).
Has he read this book? There's a Jim Carrey movie, which totally delivers as well.
