The Expert-Approved Tech Gifts That Will Be Topping Holiday Wish Lists


“What is the best present you’ve ever received?” I’ve asked this to roughly every person I’ve ever met. (I find it more useful than knowing their sign.) The common denominators describe a gift that is relevant, delightful, and useful. Seems almost easy when you distill it down to three checkboxes, right? On the other hand, what isn’t easy is shelling out for everyone’s gifts at once. This is where Klarna comes in handy.

In case you aren’t familiar, the Klarna app lets you split your purchase into four interest-free payments over six weeks. “What sites does it work on?” you ask. “All of them,” I reply. (Even in-person at select stores.) You can spy on your deliveries, earn rewards for shopping, manage your returns, and even stumble across deals you didn’t know you wanted in a scrollable feed within the app. What’s more? Get inspired by browsing curated wish lists (Klarna calls them “Collections”), and create your own to keep track of all the items you want to purchase.

With that, you should feel pretty well equipped to tackle holiday gift-giving this year. Need some ideas? In recent history, tech has been high on everyone’s list. I, myself, have a handful of gadgets I plan on doling out to my nearest and dearest. (I hope my best friend isn’t reading this because I’m getting her the Z Flip 3.) Here are all the best tech gifts for every type of person on your list.

For the writer:

For the perpetually glamorous:

Airwrap Styler
Dyson started with fans, then vacuums, and has gracefully entered the world of hair tools. (The common thread: air!) The beauty devotee in your life already knows about it, covets it, and was going to ask for it anyway.

For the foodie with a small kitchen:

Ninja Foodi 8-in-1 Digital Air Fry Oven
I haven’t met a single soul who hasn’t considered an air fryer at one point in their lives. Most people talk themselves out of it because who has the counter space to spare? This air fryer/toaster/convection oven combo folds up and back (like a drawbridge) to only take up half the footprint when stored.
Macy's

For the person who pays for your Netflix login:

Luma 350 Portable Smart 4k Projector
Kodak

For the always sleepy:

Sleepbuds
Unlike your traditional variety, these wireless earbuds are meant to be used while you’re unconscious. They’re designed to stay comfortable and secure while blocking out (or masking) ambient noise that can keep us tossing and turning.
Bose

For curious types:

Google Nest
Nest Audio

For the parent (of pets):

i7+ Robot Vacuum
This one’s the Rolls of Roombas. It comes with a three-stage suction system to really get dirt, hair, and dander out of your carpets. You can have it avoid certain areas (like, near Fido’s bowl) or call it into action on demand (“Roomba, clean up the entryway.”). On top of that, you only have to empty it every two months or so, versus other models, which require an empty after every full sweep. Who’s my good Roomba?

For the athlete/anyone with a bad back:
