In an age where even your grandmother probably has—and knows how to use—a smartphone, you certainly don’t have to be a technological expert to enjoy fun or practical electronic gadgets. But if you’re wondering what to get a techie for Christmas this year, you can pretty much count on their interest in all things “geeky.” Rest assured that there is something on this list for everyone in your life, from the professional to the amateur enthusiast. There’s even something for the family dog!
If you know a technie who panics when he or she doesn’t have a cell phone in hand, then the may be just the ticket to calm those sweaty palms and panicky feelings. Ditto is a tiny, barely noticeable, clip-on device that gently vibrates when incoming texts, emails or calls beckon. And best of all, users tell Ditto whose messages are important. It never needs charging and it’s even waterproof so if you decide to take a dip in the pool, you can leave your cell phone on the deck without worrying that you’ll miss something important. Buy it for about $40 from Simple Matters Products.
