Perfect Christmas Gift Ideas for Tech Lovers in Your Family

November 23, 2016

The holiday season is so much fun but when it comes to finding presents for our loved ones, hmmm… maybe not so much. Deciding on those perfect Christmas gifts can become stressful if you get caught up in the specifics.

Here’s what I do when preparing to buy a Christmas gift for my family. I sit for a few minutes and contemplate my interactions with them in the recent past. For instance, I remember mom raving about some cool coffee machine that could make that perfect brew and how she couldn’t get her hands on it for some reason or the other. Or my brother’s rambling about how his friend’s super duper VR system.

If you think back at those snippets of conversations from the past, you’ll get plenty of great gifting ideas. Now you don’t have to get the exact same gift if it is out of your budget. You can find a great substitute based on that idea or a cool accessory that complements something precious they already own. A little thought about the person for whom you are picking a gift will help make your choice of gift easier.

Secondly, if you are buying something from a store, personalize it. I always put a little extra effort into making that gift my own. (No… I’m not talking about tying that bow!) You can hand make something that complements the gift you bought to make it a little more special.

And finally, don’t forget to enjoy yourself. Christmas shopping and stress should not be used in the same sentence. This is something you do for people you love. Smile, sing a carol, make a list, and shop away!

For all of you who want to gift a tech device to your loved ones, I have put together a ready made list you can choose from. I hope you something good or inspiring from the list. Here are the perfect Christmas Gift Ideas for Tech lovers in your family – ones they will truly love and cherish.

This mini smart speaker from Amazon makes for a lovely gift for anyone who wants a voice assistant to help get things done. Think Siri in a speaker at a wonderfully affordable price. The Dot responds to the name Alexa, but you can customize it to your liking. You can get Alexa to do a wide range of things, from streaming music on popular apps, playing podcasts, reading the news headlines, setting timers, and waking you up in the morning, to providing timely reminders and more.

The Echo Dot also lets you control home appliances including lights, thermostats, garage doors, sprinklers, and more with compatible devices.
