I’m married to a techie so I guess that classifies me as a techie by default. I do love electronics and gadgets but R LOVES them. At one point we had this touch screen remote that had the functionality to turn on and off practically anything in our home…but the downfall was we didn’t have the time to learn how to use it to its full extent. Below I showcase some cool techie gifts in today’s gift guide!
Jawbone UP band: I wear my UP24 band everyday. At first I thought it would look a bit odd with my business casual attire during the week, but it blends in nicely! I now know how many steps I take daily and also my sleeping patterns. You can hook up with fellow UP band friends via the smartphone app and monitor their progress as well. I like this because it keeps me accountable for my exercise. Bluetooth technology allows it to “communicate” with my smartphone so I have real time stats as well!
FitBit: An alternative to the Jawbone UP band, a lot of my friends have this version and rave about it as well! Similar functionality, great way to get your self motivated to start moving!
Moff Band: Have a techie kid on the list? Actually I want one too…This smart slap-on wristband turns everything kids touch and hold into toys! Powered by an accelerometer and creativity, a wave of the arms is suddenly like hitting a drum kit, a wooden spoon becomes a knight’s sword, and an imagination is the only thing a kid needs to play tennis in the living room. I’m sending this link to my husband now.
GoPro Camera: I’ve seen some of the coolest videos made with this little guy. I think I may want one myself. Santa?????
Sonos System: What an awesome way to play music anywhere in your home – wirelessly! You do have to plug in the speaker itself BUT via bluetooth technology and your smartphone, you can decide on what music you want to play (via your play list, Sirius, Pandora), the volume, etc. We have a few speakers throughout the house. What’s even more awesome is that let’s say the kids are out back playing football – we can put their music of choice on through the backyard speaker. I can be in my room, where another speaker is located, and play my music while I iron (ha). R can choose his favorite tunes to play while he’s in his office working.
Handbag Butler: For the Lady Techie on your list, this handbag is priceless! It holds your lipstick, keys, and your phone THAT IS CHARGING while in there! Its offered in a bunch of prints and solid colors.
