Want to make someone jingle with joy? A portable charger slim enough for trickiest bag or an ab stimulator that lets you work out while relaxing? Sold. No matter who’s on your list, this holiday tech haul is your golden ticket to being declared the best gift-giver of 2024.

Unlock Nature's Secrets: High-Def Monocular For Ultimate Exploration!

Review: "This is a very well-made product - good design, excellent materials, ease of use. I was surprised at how powerful it is - given that I have always used binoculars. Using a monocular device was easier and made holding the device still comfortable and smooth. Glass and optics are exceptionally good. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a smaller device for sightseeing, hunting, or bird watching." - william c dodge

I play games, so constantly distracted, only to realise my tea has gone cold. With this an hour later mine it's still the same temp. The base charges the cup and the cup keeps the tea warm so if you go out in the garden you pick up the cup press the button underneath, and it will keep the temp that you set on your phone until it runs out of charge. This is an expensive luxury gift that's a bit frivolous but it is very good quality ceramic, not cheap plastic.

Playtime Revolution: Petdroid's Upgraded Ball Keeps Dogs Entertained For Hours!

Review: "My puppy a lot of energy and this helps him work it off. He loves chasing it around and even one of my cats loves to play with it. It's nice that it "sleeps" when not used for a time to save the battery, just bump it and it goes again. Easy to charge, just pull the button out and plug it in. The light help get and keep their attention. Would definitely recommend for anyone with a dog." - Benjamin T. Kelley

 Amazon Kindle Scribe & Digital Notebook With Pen: Must-Have Tool To Scribble, Sketch, And Read!

Review: "This is awesome. The battery lasts forever. It doesn't say this anywhere else, but there are a lot of games you can play on it. Look for Kindle Scribe games. I like Sudoku. There are many others that you can get that use the Scribe's pen. Reading on this is really nice because of the huge screen. It's much better than reading a book on your phone. It's even better than the smaller Kindles because the page size makes it feel like a real book." - Snowden

This was owned by Netgear before they spun it off into a separate company, so it may be different now. Good doorbells/cameras with very good wifi connection but very restricted without a subscription. Reolink or Effy are good alternatives without the subscription

I bought these when they were originally called after-shokz. Still going strong after hundreds of charges, there are cheaper alternatives but I've been very happy with these. Get the type pictured above they fit better. The bad is they do not block out the sound around you. The good is they do not block out the sound around you. While out your not surprised by cars or people coming up behind you so brilliant for jogging or quiet walks. And for me another surprising advantage was no ear wax build up or dry crusting from long gaming sessions.

What makes tech gifts so exciting is how they take ordinary moments and make them extraordinary. A rocketbook turns note-taking into a digital art form, while smart glasses bring Bond-level vibes to everyday errands. Even something as simple as tracking your pizza's exact cooking progress (hello, pizza oven dreams) feels cutting-edge. These gadgets are proof that the best gifts don’t just sit on the shelf—they slide seamlessly into someone’s life, making things easier, faster, or just undeniably cooler.

I won't even buy designer sunglasses because they will end up either being sat on, stepped on, put in the washing machine, or fall out of a pocket. It would terrify me to own sunglasses that cost this much. I mean, they are cool, bravo designer and all, but I'm an irresponsible klutz.
