3 Holiday Tech Gifts for Your Favorite Geek
The end of the year is always a perfect time to give gifts the people closest to your heart. What better gift can there be other than the gift of technology? Sure, for the more technical around you, the latest shiny gadget might be a little out of place. So, what do you give the person that supposedly has ever technical gadget known to man? There are a few things — three of them, to be exact — that will make the season just a little more jolly.
1. Wireless Charging Stations
When all-in-one charging stations first came out, they were all the rage among just about every class of geek you could think of, from gamers to business types. However, there’s a new class of charging station that has everyone curious: the wireless charging station. Life without cords has truly become the marker of a life without limits, at least with respect to technology. The Powermat Portable Charging Mat lets your favorite geek charge up to three devices at once through magnetic induction - no cords, just fast charging made simple.
2. Cord Keepers
It’s just about possible to completely eliminate all the cords in your favorite geek’s life, so why not keep them as organized and accessible as possible? Enter the PowerSquid, a neat surge protector that is designed to eliminate cord tangles and snags. If you’ve ever had to plug in multiple large “brick sized” power adapters, you know how frustrating it can be to make everything fit. With the PowerSquid, that’s not a problem due to the long separate extension cords that extend from the main unit. Make sure to get the surge protector version in order to keep your special geek’s electronics protected against the unexpected.
3. Rechargeable Battery Kits
Batteries are as much apart of geek life as downloads and forums are. If your special someone is concerned about the environment and trying to be more “green”, giving them a rechargeable battery station is very thoughtful present. An affordable option is the Juice Multi-Battery Charger Kit. As the name implies, you aren’t just limited to one type of battery. You can charge both AA and AAA batteries in this charger, as well as both alkaline and NiMH batteries. Unlike other chargers, the Juice Kit monitors signs of battery damage and immediately stops charging. It’s always good to play it safe with batteries to avoid injury from acid.
The goal isn’t to get your special someone the biggest tech gift you can find — quite the opposite, actually. These suggestions all revolve around very small items that can be used year-round. This means that every time they use the item, they’ll think of you.
Overall, finding the perfect tech gift isn’t as hard as it sounds once you get past the shiny gadgets and go back to small, supportive pieces of tech gear that will help your favorite person get more done in little ways for months, if not years to come!
