    29 Of The Best Tech Gifts To Give This Holiday Season

    It's time to 🎉tech the halls🎉, y'all!

    What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time, shipping times are especially tricky this year, so we suggest shopping as early as you can.

    Stock and shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it.

    1. A pair of low-profile sleep buds that won't fall out while they're snoozing. Instead of playing tunes or podcasts, they'll stream relaxing and noise-masking sounds so they can finally get a good night's rest (make sure they download the companion app).

    2. A compact air fryer that'll produce delicious crispy treats with just a fraction of the oil of a traditional deep fryer. It's super simple to use AND clean so they won't have to spend hours decoding complicated instruction manuals.

    3. A Fujifilm smartphone printer so they can make hard copies of all their fave snapshots. The built-in editing software means they can grab shots from videos, overlay logos, slap on a filter, or even connect digitally with friends (aka you, obvi).

    4. An electric wine decanter that'll aerate and pour their vino with the push of a button. It'll form an airtight seal around the bottle which means they won't spill a drop if they get a lil' tipsy.

    5. A drawing tablet so they can translate their art into digital masterpieces. This baby has over 8,000 levels of pressure sensitivity that'll help them tailor their strokes, plus a super-precise pen that won't die on them during long sessions.

    6. An electric pasta maker that'll save them from having to roll those noodz out by hand. If you can believe it, this magic machine will actually mix 🤯and🤯 knead pasta dough, too, so all they'll have to do is sauce it up and slurp it down.

    7. A compact key holder that'll turn their keychain into a handy multitool. It can hold up to 10 keys (goodbye, jangling pockets!) and is equipped with Tile tracking tech so they'll never lose their set again.

    8. A pair of rechargeable flashlight gloves if they're not about to let dark, wintery days ruin their fave hobbies. They're perfect for anyone who hates juggling a hundred tools (not to mention are way lighter than bulky headlamps).

    9. A sous vide device that will help them nail this tricky cooking method. It doesn't require complicated setup or precision measurements, either — all they'll need to do is pair it with the companion app to get perfect results every time.

    10. A 3-in-1 nightlight that they can control without ever getting out of bed. It has a built-in sound machine to help them fall asleep, plus a time-to-rise function to help them stay on schedule.

    11. A waterproof security camera so they can peep in on their porch when they're out running errands. Recording starts the second it detects movement and it's equipped with excellent night vision so it'll never miss a thing.

    12. A SodaStream so they can craft their own bubbly beverages just the way they like 'em. They can customize the level of carbonation and even infuse their sparkles with flavours if that's more their speed — all at the push of a button.

    13. A stylish fitness tracker that'll help them stay on top of their health stats. It'll keep tabs on all their important metrics, like heart and breathing rates, and even sleep quality!

    14. A self-stabilizing tripod if their directorial technique can best be described as "shaky." It has a powerful magnetic grip that'll lock their phone in place so they can focus on making art (instead of constantly adjusting their device).

    15. A capsule-operated cocktail machine that'll make them feel like they hired their own private bartender. Each capsule contains all the aromatics, syrups, and juices needed to whiz up a delicious adult bevvy.

    16. A sleep mask with built-in Bluetooth headphones that'll also block out annoying sounds (like their neighbour's X-Files marathon). It's profiled to fit around their eyeballs and has a control panel in the centre so they won't accidentally change their tunes mid-snooze.

    17. A mopping robot that'll clean their floors so they won't have to. It's whisper-quiet and, thanks to its square shape, will be able to easily get all the grime hiding in the corners of their home.

    18. A bug-zapping racket they can use to obliterate any pests that try to sneak into their home. It has a teeny light on the handle to lure mosquitos, flies, and other flying irritants to their doom.

    19. A waterproof Bluetooth speaker that can handle just about anything they (or nature) can throw at it. Reviewers are impressed with the sound quality, too, saying it delivers powerful, booming bass and crystal-clear audio.

    20. Or a set of pre-paired Bluetooth speakers that'll give them surround sound in a flash. They're made of biodegradable wheat fibre (which means they're extra-light) and can be snapped together for stronger sound.

    21. A rechargeable book light so their can read their favourite novels without waking their partner. They'll only need to charge it for 90 minutes to reach max power, and it’ll last for up to eight hours on the brightest setting.

    22. A pair of hybrid Bluetooth headphones that'll cradle their ears while they're working, Zoom-ing, or just chilling out with tunes. They're equipped with three noise-cancelling modes, making it easy to tailor their sound-filtering powers to their environment.

    23. A vibrating skin scrubber that'll shake dirt and grime right out of their pores. Reviewers say it even removes stubborn blackheads — and the super-high frequency will help all their fave skincare absorb deeper into their dermis, too.

    24. A pack of right-angle charging cables that won't bend or snap while they're powering up. According to reviewers, they also charge devices a lot faster than other cables so they can spend less time tethered to a plug.

    25. An LED light strip that's designed to reduce eye strain and fatigue. It's lined with foam tape so they can easily stick it right onto the back of their TV, and it'll help to increase colour contrast so they can marathon their fave movies in cinema-style comfort.

    26. A petite Bluetooth keyboard that won't monopolize their workspace. Reviewers say it's incredibly receptive, doesn't lag, and love that it can connect seamlessly to three devices simultaneously.

    27. A UV sterilizing case that'll kill up to 99.99% of the bacteria that lives on their phone with just a quick zap. It can disinfect masks, glasses, and bank cards, too — basically anything that fits!

    28. A Wi-Fi range extender that'll keep their signal strong and steady all day long. It'll be easy to integrate into their existing setup so they won't need to be a tech genius to stay connected (honestly, there's no better gift than reliable internet access!).

    29. And lastly, an owl-shaped conference camera — family video chats just got a whole lot easier! It's smart enough to autofocus on whoever's speaking and will give them 360° of viewing so no one will ever feel left out.
