I’m continuing the Gift guide with gifts for guys and girls as well as fun tech stuff (You will see my gift ideas with the reasons why I recommend them). Only requirement, they have to be electronically available so that everyone has access (Regardless of geography )
TECH GIFTS for all the techies and early adopters in your life, these are the tech gadgets that I think are really good. Most of these more than for gifting, are my tech drool list of cool stuff that is coming out there
- Parrot skycontroller: Basically games for adults
- Samsung Gear VR :I am an avid Samsung phone user and this just looks really cool
- The new Apple TV: I have said multiple times in this blog how my Apple TV is the most important household tech item I have (maybe I’ll put the TV and fridge first, but its a close third!). Therefore a new version of it its always exciting. This one does not disappoint. I already purchased it and the voice control features are amazing.
- HERO4 Session: A go Pro but simpler!
- Dremel 3D Idea Builder + 5 Spindles: For the crazy people out there a household 3D printer
- Amazon Echo : I talked about this in Oprah’s favorite things and I just think its such a cool little gadget — because really, you always want to talk to your house
- DJI Phantom 3 Standard Drone another adult toy 🙂
- Livescribe 3 Smartpen + Livescribe Notebook: For those people like me who are half tech crazy and half old school with their moleskine notebooks in their nightstand, this is the gift! I like writing things in paper but its great that you keep a copy in your ipad.
- DxO ONE. It’s a professional-quality connected camera that pairs with the iPhone, for when the Iphone is too low tech and a professional camera is to heavy to lug around
- Fujifilm Instax Share Smartphone Printer SP-1: Because electronic pictures are cool, put there’s nothing like having printed pictures all around the house!

I love the description of it, so much that I have to copy it because i could not agree more: A true gentleman knows how to tie a Windsor knot and savor a truly fine whiskey.
