I had a fun conversation on another site yesterday, and out of that came an idea. The idea is what would you guy for a techie for the various holidays celebrated this time of year? So, I put together my holiday gift list for geeks! Or nerds or techies, whatever you are comfortable with calling or being calls if you are the person.
- A cellular phone car cup holder!
- A holographic monitor (that is right a monitor that can display holograms)!
- An AR headset! There are several to choose from.
- Hololens
- ANTVR
- Third Eye
- A VR headset
- There is the computer-based Oculus headset
- The stand-alone Oculus headset both are very nice!
- A 3d printer! (really expensive but lots of fun)!
- Moasure – a digital tape measure I mean who wants to measure anymore?
- Tiles – this is a Bluetooth enabled device you put on anything you lose. The next time you press a button on your smartphone and you know where your device is!
- Smart luggage! The newest craze is smart luggage! Not only does it power your devices when you cannot find a plug, but there is also software to help you with weight and other traveling issues!
- ARRIM a device that converts your phone into an AR measurement system. Turn any room into a scanner Artificial reality room.
- A laser pointer (like cats, techniques love to play with laser pointers)!
Just a few gifts you can get the techie person in your life. The last one is something they don’t give out at tech events anymore. I remember being at an event in Atlanta. A company gave out laser pointers as they give away. Shortly after their presenter started speaking, he had 400 laser points focused on him. Techies like cats love playing with laser pointers!
I realize many of the things on this list are a little more expensive. I would be happy to make another list of less expensive items if that would help!

would a list of things less than 50 dollars be useful?

Yes
-
No

Awwww, heck, I will just give them love for Christmas because there is no better gift than love ????
love is a valuable thing to give I agree
Q: WOULD A LIST OF THINGS LESS THAN 50 DOLLARS BE USEFUL?
Yes (7 votes) – 100%
laser pointers; the cruelest of all kitty toys…
my dog loves the laser pointer. The twins dog, crashes into everything when it is on.
🙂
yeah, some dogs are over enthusiastic
she really is, she crashes around the room seeking to destroy the laser!
discretion is the better part of valor is lost on most dogs
the number of dogs that have died protecting humans exceeds the number of stupid humans that raised dogs that hurt humans.
dogs are truly man’s best friend. shamefully, the reverse isn’t true
It is a relationship that requires treasuring on both sides. I suspect my dog would tell you that sometimes I am a little slow on many things!
it forgives you, though
This year I have no problems. I have no one to get gifts for and I am just waiting for Santa Claus
Sorry about that, it can be hard this time of year.
These are great ideas, and suggestions at all price points are useful. The story about the laser pointers was funny! Even non-technical people love them.
My dog loves chasing the laser pointer as well. Thanks Ellie!
Uh, your list is very long. I hope that your wish comes true.
it isn’t my list 🙂 it is suggestions for techies that want gifts!
This is a very good list of gifts only I don’t have any friend worth such a gift ….
hey I understand! just trying to help folks that do!
I understand and the gift list is great
i am doing a list with many less expense techie gifts today.
This list is much more interesting, dear friend
I see those Weather Tech commercials a lot and think everyone should have a cup holder and/or phone holder.
i love mine! we have one for the cars and ones for our bikes as well!!!
I can see where everyone could use one.
we don’t have one in the twins car. We probably should!
This is a cool list Doc. I think I will get gift number one. I think that is what hubby needs one for his bike. The car already has an integrated GPS and mobile feature.
we got one of those (well two) for our tandem bike, They are really nice to have!
A tandem bike sounds great too, would make a great anniversary gift.
that is when we got ours, our anniversary last year!
