More today from the gifts for the techie in your life series. Today most of the gifts are going to be on the cheaper side! I will break them into three categories around 100 US Dollars. Around 50 US dollars and then the last category under 10 US dollars I apologize to all my friends in Asia and Europe for not doing the initial conversions but that would make my post way longer and a lot more numbers!
Under 100 US Dollars
- A wireless mouse! I like the trackball from Logitech but for those who like the feel of a mouse, the Logitech mice are very good
- A wireless keyboard – same the Logitech products 2work well. The advantage of the Logitech products is that they pre-connect the USB key to the keyboard or mouse/trackpad so it is literally charging the device or add the batteries and away you go (after you plug in the USB key)
- Earth from Astroreality! It is a globe that allows you to interact via your smartphone with the planet!
- A one-year subscription to Microsoft Office Home (this can be installed on six different devices)
- A Logitech video camera for conference calls and web meetings.
- A year of calm, help your techie relax!
Less than 50 US dollars
- Don’t touch that it is hot! A digital thermometer actually allows you to see how hot without touching whatever is hot!
- Digital thermometer for the humans in your house. When you have a fever, is it the flu? Find out quickly using Kinsa if you need to worry about what is going around!
- A Samson Microsoft for people that podcast or have video conference calls! Great addition to any computer and provides exceptional sound!
- A Rocketbook reusable notebook!
- A Rocketbook whiteboard for any wall!
Under 10 US dollars
- What is the number one thing every techie needs, batteries!
- AA
- AAA
- C
- D
- Small pocket portable emergency charger for their phone!
- A laser pointer to torment the cat!
- A month of Calm (a relation program)
- Rechargeable batteries (AA, AAA, C, D)
- A battery recharger for the desk!
There are always things to buy for techniques. Batteries are always something techies need. Rechargeable batteries are always a good thing. I won’t ask today if you want the more expensive list, I shared that yesterday! A link to that post is here https://virily.com/virily_poll/gifts-for-the-technical-people-in-your-life/#comment-882401.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- laser pointers are the cruelest of all kitty toys
they are – but techies love them as welL!!!
never said there was anything wrong with laser pointers
🙂 are you a green or a red laser pointer guy?
ruby laser, cos they’re old school like me…
i figured you for a Green laser, they are more powerful!
interesting now I have to redo my mental Ledante picture.
it isn’t that I don’t like green lasers, just that my first thought is red
Lots of interesting ideas. I wouldn’t remember that. Thanks for sharing.
happy to help if I can!
Very interesting gift list, my friend …. I use ordinary batteries
I am about 50/50 on regular versus recharable.
You can never have too many batteries.
i agree you can never have enough batteries!
Awesome ideas! I might be a techie in disguise, haha.
techies are expanding all around the world 🙂
Oh, I forgot. The conversion rate between US $ and Kenyan Shilling is 101. Thus, it is easier to calculate.
That is good to know, thanks!!!
One good thing about America is that most things especially techie things are cheap. So, what is a A Rocketbook reusable notebook? Is it the normal size of a notebook?
I had to search for it. My mind jumped to something totally different. Now, I understand it. Checked it. It is quite a good notebook.
i love the Rocketbook products they are very good!
they have all sizes! really good techie prices are actually in Asia!
Oh. But it can be ordered on Amazon or is not possible?
That is a good list of gifts. Thanks for ideas.
Thank you! you are most welcome!
