If you’re still scrambling for gift ideas and have a tech-lover you want to spoil, we’ve got your back. Here are our fave gadgets and gizmos in each category! —Rachel Johnston
speaker. Super stylish with a vintage vibe, the Marshall-Kilburn Portable Bluetooth Speaker ($300 at Best Buy) will not only add character to home décor but also make the perfect picnic companion once the warm weather returns. Featuring a detachable strap and three control knobs, the unit boasts extended battery capabilities and produces powerful and well-balanced audio.
laptop. Ideal for students or those always on the go, the Acer Swift 3 14 inch Laptop ($800 at Best Buy) is lightweight and highly capable with a sleek silver design. Versatile to the max, it features 8 GB of DDR4 RAM, full HD 1080p display, and a battery that lasts up to 10 hours (yay-no need to hunt for a plug-in!).
watch. With personalized coaching, 300+ song storage and built-in GPS, the health and wellness possibilities are endless with Fitbit’s new Ionic watch ( $350 at London Drugs). Choose from charcoal, blue/orange and silver/grey styles as well as different accessory bands to match any look (even leather!). The revamped battery should last over 4 days, and, with water resistance up to 50 meters, swimmers can track their laps and calories burned.
printer. Because social media is the main method of photo sharing, we’re printing out our images less and less. But if you know someone with a soft spot for the past, HP is to the rescue with their Sprocket Portable Zink Photo Printer ($160 at London Drugs). About the same size as a phone and weighing approximately 6 ounces, the teeny tiny Sprocket uses Bluetooth technology to print 2 x 3 inch photos or stickers straight from any connected cellular device.
smartphone. Here’s your opportunity to surprise that friend who just smashed their phone on the pavement for the umpteenth time. They’ll definitely take better care of the Motorola Moto Z2 Play ($800 without a fixed term plan) . With great features such as 5.5 inch display, battery life up to 30 hours and a camera that produces incredibly detailed shots, this beauty checks every box.
