42 Tech Gifts for Gadget Freaks and Non-Geeks Alike

Shopping for the coolest tech gifts used to be simple. Grab a Sharper Image catalog, flip to a random page, point your finger at anything, and done. It’s way more difficult now. For one, our phones do most of what we need. Second, technology is so pervasive these days that… What isn’t a tech gift? And third, you need something that has fast shipping—because a big day is always right around the corner.

We’ve been keeping track of all the best new tech, which just so happens to make great gifts, especially once a special holiday comes rolling around, right on cue. We’ve gathered up a short list of some of our favorite new (and new-ish) tech gifts for anyone—even the folks who don’t know their PlayStations from their Xboxes. Our best advice? Just make sure to stealthily check that your giftee doesn’t already own whatever’s in the gift box.
