Picking out the perfect holiday gift for the special people in your life can be, quite frankly, an anxiety inducing nightmare. Between wildly different tastes, shipping deadlines, and closing delivery windows, it might even seem impossible. With the intention of making the process a bit easier for you, Tech Device Coverage has compiled a list of the best tech gifts to buy this 2021 holiday season.
Smartphones
It seems like everyone has a smartphone these days. What tiny electronic miracles they are, giving us all the features we didn’t even know we needed. Every year, major phone manufacturers release new and improved models with upgrades that far outweigh the ones from years prior. Do you know someone who needs an upgrade? After all, more and more people, myself included, are holding on to their phones for much longer between upgrade cycles. Some great options are the Apple iPhone 13, Apple iPhone 13 Pro, and the OnePlus9. If a smartphone is outside of the budget, everyone likes smartphone accessories!
Laptops
Does anyone you know need a laptop upgrade? Laptops seem to be at the top of many people's wish lists. There is a wide array of options in the market and choosing one for personal use is often a feat, let alone choosing one for a third party. However, if you are up for the task, a laptop is a great option for a gift. Apple has some options on the pricier side, like the MacBook Pro. Whereas Google has some more affordable options like the Chromebook. Do you know any gamers? A laptop built specifically for gaming might be the best choice! And again, if a laptop is too pricey, everyone likes laptop accessories.
Smart Home Tech
More and more people are turning their homes into smart houses. The ease ability of controlling all the features of your house in one easy-to-use manner is quite appealing. The best thing is, most smart gadgets are incredibly simplified, easy to set up, and affordable, making them the perfect holiday gift for someone special in your life. Some great options are the Amazon Echo Dot and the Wyze Smart Plug. If these aren't enough, there are endless options and home customizations to be had!
Video Game Consoles
It’s almost a guarantee that you know someone who needs, well maybe wants, a new video game console. Not only are they highly coveted for their intended use (playing video games) but many people have given up watching cable television the old-fashioned way in order to stream their internet services on a console. It makes for an easy all-in-one user experience. Some popular consoles this year are the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X, however these may be hard to find due to demand.
Content Related Gifts
Last, but certainly not least, on our 2021 holiday gift guide is content related gifts. These gifts are the most easily accessible gifts on the list. They can be purchased online, at affordable prices and they never sell out. These are essentially gift cards that hold funds or subscription services for things like popular gaming consoles and streaming services.
