It can be stressful to decide what to get a tech lover for Christmas, but this article should help to relieve that stress.

Item Tracker

Item trackers are a useful tool for those who tend to lose things. Items trackers are fairly inexpensive and there are a wide variety available. Apple AirTags are great for those who own an iPhone and feature UltraWide Band Technology that allows for precise guided directions down to the inch, with a compatible iPhone, when finding an item plus an audible tone that sounds when lost. They cost about $30 for one and about $100 for a four pack. Samsung makes an equivalent tracker for their devices called Galaxy Smart Tags. These have the same features as Apple’s AirTags and cost for the for the same price of $30 though a cheaper model without UltraWide Band Technology is available for $20. Tile Trackers are another option for $20 and are compatible with any iOS or Android smartphone though they do not have UltraWide Band Technology.

Phone, Tablet, Or Laptop Case

A case is another good and inexpensive option. Cases can be found with a wide range of designs and styles ranging from custom cases to simple silicon cases. They can also bought for phone, tablets, and laptops.

Fitness Tracker Or Smart Watch

A fitness tracker or smartwatch is perfect for those who love staying fit or simply want a quick way to view notifications or answer calls. Some good fitness trackers include ones from FitBit or Garmin, who both also make smartwatches. Samsung also makes fitness trackers. For a bit more money, the Apple Watch is a good choice for iPhone owners and the Samsung Galaxy Watch for Samsung owners.

Gift Card

Gift Cards are a great option for those who are not quite sure what to get. There are gift cards for Apple that are able to be used in-store, online at Apple.com, and in the App Store. Google also has gift cards for their Google Play App Store. For someone who likes to game, a PlayStation, Xbox, or other gaming platform gift card is a great idea! A Visa gift card is always a good universal option that can be used anywhere that accepts Visa cards.

Smart Speaker

A smart speaker is a great choice for those who like to have a little helper in the house. Smart speakers are great for setting timers, alarms, controlling smart devices, and playing music. Amazon’s Echo devices are a great choice for those who use a lot of Amazon’s services, though they can be helpful without using Amazon’s Services. Apple’s HomePod is a great choice for those who have other Apple devices. Using the power of Siri, users can play music, set timers, and even answer phone calls and text from their iPhone. Google Home devices are also a great option and also heavily incorporate with Android devices like Apple’s HomePod does with it’s ecosystem of devices.
