Is there a techie in your life who seems to already have everything? While the most on-trend gadgeteer can throw you for a curveball when it comes to big gizmos, it may be possible to surprise and delight with tech items that can easily fit into a stocking. Skip the socks, candies, and orange this year; these goodies are on the top of every geek’s wish list!
holiday gifts for techies
1. Inspector Gadget DVD Boxed Set
For the first time ever, Seasons One and Two are available on 12 DVDs, giving your 30-something tech lover a nostalgic way to enjoy the holidays. (And for the Gadget fan who craves holiday spirit, the new DVD “Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas ” is the perfect bonus gift.)
2. SensoGlove Golf Trainer
The next-best-thing to having a PGA pro giving you feedback on your “death grip”, this digital golf glove can help perfect a too-tight swing for under $90. The accurate coaching glove uses unique technology to display tips on a tiny sweat-proof display, calculated at a rate of 80 pieces of feedback per second!
3. FitBit One
Getting exercise and counting calories may not seem like a fun way to spend the holidays, but this little gizmo makes a healthy lifestyle somewhat like a game! The tiny FitBit counts steps , sets activity goals, and even tracks sleep — giving the wearer an effortless way to keep health records that can wirelessly sync with your PC for discovering trends and making changes for the long-term.
4. Angry Birds Star Wars Telepods
All Angry Birds fans should have already downloaded the Angry Birds Star Wars II app, but playing with the new “telepods” toys will take the action to a whole new level. Just place these little figurines directly onto the screen of your device via the included telepod base. The characters are collectible, as well as provide for hours of new game play variations.
5. Levenger L-Tech Plus Pen
With the L-Tech Plus Pen , you get the prestige of a classy writing instrument with the practicality of a stylus (because you’re more likely to type out an email than transcribe a letter). For those who already own a classic Levenger, but feel left out of the ability to swipe and tap, there are conversion kits priced at much lower than the complete stylus hybrids.
