Holiday Gift Guide - For The Tech Obsessed

Tech gifts are always big in our house no matter the age of the recipient. As my nieces get older they are more into computers then toys which means gift giving can get a little challenging & expensive. I personally love gifting tech accessories and gadgets, it's always fun to see the person open up a gift that is something they may not have known about. My top picks for gadgets & tech gifts are below, as always at all different price points.

one - I remember seeing this hilarious charger on our family trip to St. Lucia, so glad I found it for purchasing to gift away to family members with a sense of humor.
two - Perfect poolside or a day at the beach to keep your iPhone safe from water. 

three - Adore this giant neon pink speaker. 

four & five - For the music lover, these caps are so chic & fun to interchange n your headphones.

six, seven & eight - Gold everything! I love the idea of gifting this fun trio of a chic phone case, charger & headphones. 

nine - Love the idea of printing your camera photos instantly with this cute gadget. 

ten - This watch looking item helps keep track of activity & sleep for men. 

eleven - This polaroid camera is a lot of fun for people of all ages. More colors available here. 

twelve - Taking a selfie or a groupie just got a whole lot easier. 

thirteen - This Fitbit bracelet helps keep track of your movement & even your sleep! I also love this slammed up Tory Burch version as well as this Opening Ceremony beauty. 

fourteen - This cute little speaker is portable and affordable.

fifteen - Keep your tech clean with these handy wipes. 

sixteen - For the traveler, this convertor is very helpful.

seventeen - Love that you can disguise your apple tv with these pattered wraps. 

eighteen - My phone is always dying, especially in the high trafficked airways of NYC. This back up battery is pretty & useful. 

nineteen - A drone is fun gift for the pilot in the family who wants to get a birds eye view. 

Coming Soon - Smart Jewelry

Remember when I first blogged about smart jewelry with this Ringly post? Well it looks like the trend of combining fashion with technology is something that is really taking off. First there was a collaboration between Google glasses with Diane Von Furstenburg, then Tory Burch's stylish line with Fit Bit, even Opening Ceremony has created a gorgeous bracelet called Mica with Intel launching this winter. But today I am talking about Cuff which is available for pre-order and coming next March. What set's this smart technology from the others is that it doesn't just offer you reminders about your incoming calls, forgotten iPhone and track your daily movements for a healthier lifestyle but it also has a safety feature to allow you to call for help with the simple push of a button that is discretely hidden in beautiful baubles on your wrist or neck.  Something that is really a selling point for me in today's scary world. You can watch the short video of all it's features and how it works here.

Ringly

My husband is BIG into technology. He himself is an inventor and is crazy involved with the wireless world. So much so that he has made a successful career out of his clever ideas. However when there is time for us away from work, he absolutely loathes having a phone out at a dinner or pretty much anywhere we are being social. I however am quick to admit I am a bit of a "power user" on social media. I love being connected and seeing/sharing what's going on in the world. A perfect compromise for us...enter Ringly, the perfectly pretty "alarm" ring that will notify you by different subtle flashes of light or vibrations all in a stylish cocktail ring. It's simply smart jeweled perfection for being notified on important reminders, appointments, emails and so on. Check out how it works below and pre-order your little lovely ring below!
