Who's left on your list? If you need to shop for the techie in your life, do it while there are great bargains to be had on useful (and enjoyable) gifts they will absolutely love. No time for shipping? Just print a pic of their gift and pop it in a festive card. 

Protect Their Whole Family for a Lifetime With Adguard

It may not sound very festive, but techies know better than anyone how important it is to have the ultimate protection. Give the ad blocker that protects an entire family's data, as well as keeps the kids from stumbling upon inappropriate content. They’ll also enjoy the convenience of banishing irritating popups, video ads, and banners. There's a reason AdGuard is rated 4.7 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot, so grab an Adguard Family Plan lifetime subscription while it’s on sale (reg. $129).

Give Them Nonstop Power for an Apple Watch

If anyone has been complaining to you about their Apple Watch dying before they get home, you will be a hero for giving them a pocket-sized wireless Apple Watch charger. They can take it everywhere and never have to worry about dying batteries again. Best of all, this wireless charger keychain is only $19 right now, down from $49.

A Proper Gift for Security-Conscious PC Users

If you're looking for a gift the recipient will use every day, their operating system is a great place to start. Windows 11 Pro is a great option for PC users who care about their security and want a user-friendly interface. Windows 11 Pro comes with some major cybersecurity upgrades like BitLocker Encryption and Wake and Lock, but there's actually another hidden improvement. If you're shopping for an artist, programmer, or developer, Windows 11 Pro may let them upgrade their hardware too: This OS supports up to 2TB RAM, and it's only $40 to put on three devices for life. 

On-the-Go Translation Earbuds to Make Travelers Swoon

What do you give to someone who already has the world at their feet? These translator earbuds are an endlessly useful accessory for globetrotters who want to connect with people in 37 different languages, including German, Italian, French, and Chinese. Paired with the free MyJuno app, the Mymanu Clik S can translate live for individuals or groups. You'll even hear the individual speakers translated in your ear. That's not to mention that these $157 earbuds are also great for music and podcasts with a battery that could last up to 10 hours on a single charge. 

Why Give One Drone When You Can Give Two?

The only thing better than buying someone a new drone is when you can get two 4K dual-camera drones for the price of one. For a limited time, the Alpha Z PRO + Flying Fox bundle is just $130, down from $398. Both drones have ultra HD, one-key return, headless and altitude hold mode, plus much more, so this will almost certainly hold the title of Best Gift Ever—even if you decide to keep one for yourself. Don't miss this drone BOGO deal!

Make Learning STEM Fun With a Robot Dog

It’s a fun challenge, it’s a toy, it’s a STEM learning experience! There's not a whole lot that's better than having a good time while learning valuable skills, especially when the result is a self-made robot dog that does tricks (yeah, we're pretty jazzed about it, too). The Petoi Bittle DIY robot kit—a Kickstarter-funded gem—is currently available for $239 (reg. $329).

An Ultra-Clear Mic to Impress on Zoom or on Pods

Babbl is one of those computer accessories with a beautiful design that just works. Plug into your USB-C port and start talking. There are no drivers to install, and if you need to change the volume or mute, the control knob is front and center. And did we mention the sound is crystal clear? The Babbl mic may only be $40 (the best price on the web as of this posting), but its 40–18 kHz frequency and 44.1 kHz sample rate sounds like you spent a whole lot more. It's a great gift for remote workers, podcast recorders, aspiring influencers, and just about anyone who's always listening to the sound of their own voice.

Give the Gift of Time and Convenience

Make someone’s life way easier and way more efficient. Get a remote-work bundle that includes an extra laptop display with a kickstand so they can see twice as much. It will help them breeze through their daily tasks, even when they're calling into a Google Meet from the bank of the Seine. The Mobile Pixels Duex Max + Kickstand Bundle is just $339, down from $364 for a limited time.

Bless Your Favorite Techie With an Uncluttered Life

Anyone would love to ditch those irritating cables from their nightstand, desktop, and luggage. Get a pair of 3-in-1 folding wireless charging stations that can each simultaneously power up an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods or even act as a phone stand. These two MagStacks are available for $88 while they're price-dropped.
