Giving gifts to people is getting harder day by day. People are evolving into their own fields, and most of us know nothing about them. For example, you can’t blame an IT student if he doesn’t know what happens in Hamlet or Othello, or a literature student about not knowing the new advancements in astrology now, can you? Due to such segregation in fields, it often becomes hard to know what you’ll give to the next person. If you have tech-savvy friends like I do and don’t know what to get them, don’t worry I’ve got you covered.
I got all my technology loving friends together, and we made a list of what they would want if I had to get them something. Here listed below are the seven things that we came up with. I hope it helps you with your gift selection.
- A Laser Projection Keyboard
When my friends told me about it, I was surprised that it existed in the first place and then I felt like I wanted it too. A laser projection keyboard is mainly a device that can project a keyboard on any surface that you want.
If you forgot to make an assignment and want to do it in class without any noise, this is the best thing you can ever wish for. You can just put the device in front of you, and it will project a keyboard and follow the keystroke that you make. If you share a room with someone and work at night like I do, it can prove to be very beneficial.
- Foldable Keyboard
Some of the people in my group preferred a foldable keyboard over a laser projection one. It has the feeling of the old school keyboard and the portable characteristic of a modern device. Nowadays many of us work while on the move, on our way to work, on our flights, in the bus, etc. If you travel a lot and find it hard to work on your laptops or iPad’s, then this is the best solution to your problem.
You can work wherever you want and then just fold the keyboard and put it into your bag once you’re done. You can connect it to your iPads or your phones via Bluetooth.
- Charging Pad
Another thing that can help your tech-savvy friends out is a charging pad. Nowadays phones have become a basic necessity. Lots of people earn half of their money through their phones. The moment when our phones die we don’t know how to function without them. To make sure that your friends don’t have to face such a dilemma you should get them a charging pad this year on their birthday.
- Bluetooth Tracking Tag
If any of your friends are just as forgetful as mine, then this is going to make their lives a lot better. Whenever I used to go over to Max's house and turn on the TV, we could never find the remote. When I learned about this, I knew this is exactly what he needed.
This tag can be attached to anything that you think you often forget, for example, car keys, TV remote, your wallet, etc. It comes with an application that is installed into your phone, and you can just press a button, and it will start buzzing.
- Noise-Canceling Headphones
Noise canceling headphones are something that all of us need. Have you ever been in a situation where you put in your headphones to avoid someone, and you can still hear their voice despite the music that you’re listening to? I am sure you have, and it is one of the most irritating feelings in the world.
The best gift you can get your friends (or even yourself) are noise canceling headphones. They can also prove to be the best hearing protection for mowing the lawn, or if you live near a construction site.
- Amazon Tech Dot
If your friends are multitaskers and often forget the things that you want them to remember then the Amazon tech dot is the best gift that you can get them. It is a small device that is controlled by a person’s voice. I have had friends that always make excuses for not turning up, or turn up late and just say that their alarm didn’t go off.
The amazon tech dot is a reliable device that will make planning and keeping up with different circle a lot easier. Think of it as your very own personal secretary. You can set reminders, check the weather forecast, keep tabs on meetings without having to go and check the calendar.
In short, it is a device that will surely take the load off of your friends and make their lives a little easier.
- Waterproof Camera
If your friends are outgoing and are addicted to taking pictures and making videos, then they’re going to fall in love with the waterproof camera. They can take it scuba diving, snowboarding, etc. without the fear that it’s going to get ruined.
A friend of mine went on a snowboarding trip with some of his friends and ended up losing all the footage on his camera. If you want to make sure that your friends don’t have to face such an ordeal, then this is the gift to get them.
All the above-mentioned devices are inevitably going to get you the title of the most thoughtful friend. However, you should know that trends change almost overnight nowadays, so it’s better not to leave the gift selection for another day. While I am sure, your tech-savvy friends are going to love the gifts mentioned above you can get them for those friends who aren’t into technology that much.
Some of the items as mentioned earlier will prove to be useful for almost anyone. For example who wouldn’t want noise cancelation headphones? Any freelancer would love one of the keyboards that I have mentioned. The list will prove to be beneficial for everyone who wants there life to be a little easier.
