Christmas is the time for cheer and tech giving. We’ve rounded up a list of the top five coolest tech gifts this season, from the practical to the just plain cool.
We’ve tried to cover a wide price range in coming up with these tech gifts. So, whether you’re on a budget or have money to burn, you should find something on this list to stick under the Christmas tree next week. Also, don’t forget quality holiday cards.
Fast Charger w/ Mug Warmer/Drink Cooler – Nomodo
This multi-functional station is one of the coolest things we’ve come across on Amazon this holiday season. The built in Qi charger allows for fast wireless charging, but it’s the other side of this bad boy that really piqued our interest. The temperature-controlled plate has the ability to keep your beverage hot or cold. It’s designed to be used with the accompanying Nomodo mug or a can of your favorite beverage.
Price: $ 79.99
Where can I get it: Amazon
iPhone 12 Pro – Apple
This one might seem kind of obvious or perhaps a bit pricey, but we had to put it on the list. Note we didn’t say the “12” but specifically listed the “12 Pro.” The camera on the 12 Pro or 12 Pro Max is just too good to pass up. Even if you’re currently rocking the 11 Pro, nothing compares to Apple’s newest phone. Do it for the souped-up Night Mode and take vivid photos and videos in low light situations.
Price: starting at $999 (12 Pro) and $1099 (12 Pro Max) before trade-in
Where can I get it: Apple or your carrier
Bluetooth Beanie – GREENEVER
Bluetooth headphones have been perfected to the point where they are an absolute must for everyone. If you’re still struggling with tangled wires, it’s time to change that. And while you’re at it, why not get a pair of Bluetooth headphones that are also a warm knit cap for the frigid weather. The GREENEVER Bluetooth Beanie makes a great stocking stuffer and won’t break the bank.
Price: $22.99

Cyberpunk 2077
For the gamer in your life, there’s no better gift on Christmas morning than Cyberpunk 2077. The brand-new game from the creators of Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an open world RPG that’ll appease any hardcore gamer. It’s available on Xbox One, PS4, Stadia and the PC. Compatible versions for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S are coming in 2021.
Price: $59.99

iPhone 12 Pro Max Lens Protector – UniqueMe
Ok, so they have the super expensive iPhone 12 Pro Max. Now you have to make sure they don’t break it.

This little guy will protect your camera lens from scratches, water and dirt without affecting picture quality.
