what are the best luxury gifts to shop in new tech gear and gadgets this holiday?
Do you have a tech junkie in your life who geeks out on all the latest gadgets? One of the ones who are already on a waiting list for the next brand new shiny toy months before it hits the stores?
They can spout off release dates of the new Apple products and detail how they’ve changed from last year’s model. This breed is pretty hard to keep up with and admittedly, very intimidating to shop for when the holidays roll around.
On the other hand, maybe some of the friends in your circle (or some of your family members) are Luddites, who are still kicking and screaming about entering the digital age. They rail against anything new, but could clearly benefit from a few lifestyle upgrades.
No matter where the people on your holiday gift list might be on this spectrum, we’ve combed through the latest new consumer tech and electronics gear and gadgets. We’ve found luxury holiday gear and gadget gifts that are user-friendly enough for the tech novices, and compelling enough for the tech gurus. We also placed an emphasis on products that can fit seamlessly into their lifestyles and not complicate them (we’re looking at you, Bluetooth coffee mug.)
