It may come as a bit of a surprise to some, but not everyone
out there is as in love with technology as we are.
But that doesn't mean
that they won't find tech gifts useful. And who knows? Soon, they too may
become a tech-head!
Ring doorbell
See who's at your door without opening the door (or even getting
up). Ring is also great when you're away from
home as it allows you to communicate remotely with the people at your door.
Setup is easy - you might have to drill a few holes, but it
works both wired and wireless. And there's a built-in battery that's good for
weeks of use.
Amazon Echo dot
Most people have a love/hate relationship with voice-controlled
devices, but the Amazon Echo Dot is an exception.
The Echo Dot is small, unobtrusive, adorable, easy to use, and
very flexible. And once you master a few commands, it's actually very powerful.
An excellent gift, especially for those who are subscribed to
Amazon Prime. Another plus- it's only $50.
Apple TV
One of the easiest-to-use home entertainment hubs out there, the
Apple TV is a great way to get an existing television to do a lot more. And
it's not bound to the Apple iTunes store either. With apps such as Hulu,
Netflix, HBO Now, Watch ESPN- it gives access to a whole raft of entertainment.
And starting at $149, the Apple TV is one of the cheapest things you can pick up at the Apple
Store!
Amazon Fire HD8
A powerful and fully-featured tablet for $90 would have once
been unthinkable, but the Amazon Fire HD8, with it's 8-inch
display, 1.3GHz quad-core processor, and 12-hour battery is a force to be
reckoned with.
It’s the ideal tablet for someone who just wants to keep things
simple.
Tile
Tile is a tiny Bluetooth tracker that's great for people who lose
things. Attach a tile to keys, luggage, wallet, umbrella or anything you want
to keep track of. Find it quickly and easily using the Tile app. Never spend an
entire morning looking for your keys again.
Nest Protect
This product is ideal for those of us who’s every cooking
session seems to end with a few minutes of frantically waving a dishcloth at
the smoke alarm.
The Nest Protect alarm combines a high-end smoke and carbon monoxide detector
with handy features such as an automatic path light and the ability to use
Wi-Fi to alert your phone. Just burned the toast? Silence the alarm from your
phone- it’s that simple
1Password
You definitely know someone who reuses passwords or who writes them
on notes stuck to their PC!
You can now protect all of your accounts with strong, complex
passwords that you don’t have to worry about memorizing! This app will do all
of the remembering for you. It prefills any information needed for you to log
in- with just a few tap.
1Password is the perfect way to protect passwords across all devices.
