61 Tech Gifts Women Will Brag About to Their Friends (and Everyone Else)

In this day and age, everyone needs a little bit of extra juice every now and then. Make sure your giftee isn’t left high and dry when their battery’s running low with the help of this chic, pocket-friendly charger.

Perhaps you have a content creator on your hands. Well, look no further. Not only does this camera capture great photos and videos, but it also features built-in Wi-Fi, which allows files to be transferred straight from the camera to a smartphone or tablet.

Available in lavender and mint along with baby pink and pale yellow, these Joy-Con controllers are the prettiest colors available yet for the Nintendo Switch and are a nice way to help your Nintendo fan friends (or self) give their system a chic little makeover.—Alyssa Bailey, senior news & strategy editor

Bundle your gift of Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons with the game of the moment: Super Mario Bros. Wonder. It’s a great game to play with friends and family who gather for the holidays—and besides, who wouldn’t want to play as elephant versions of their favorite Mario characters?

Whether you’re hunting down a new recipe or looking for an easy way to watch your favorite workout videos, Google’s Pixel Tablet makes moving from one activity to the next seamless. Plus, the charging speaker doc will keep your tablet on full display and play your best playlists with quality sound. After my laptop, this has become the most-used device in my home.

Grace that budding artist in your life with the gift of new technology in the form of Microsoft’s new Surface Laptop Studio 2—a unique and powerful 2-in-1 laptop. Hands down, this is a fantastic gift for college students. The laptop isn’t just a great way for them to take notes, draw illustrations, or get into animation—it’s also powerful enough to handle gaming. What more could they want?

You might need to do a double take when you see this slim speaker in someone’s home (perhaps even your own?). Featuring all the tech that B&O is known for, this will be the perfect addition to a bookshelf, a console, or anywhere else for the design-forward audiophile.

A chic TV? Say less. With its sleek customizable bezels, The Frame from Samsung seamlessly blends into your gallery wall, while also displaying your favorite shows and movies in QLED 4K resolution. When you’re not binge-watching, Art Mode transforms the screen into your favorite artwork. Sizes range from 33 inches to 85 inches.—Erica Gonzales, senior culture editor

When you don’t want to wear a pair of over-the-ear headphones, these Studio Buds + will be the thing to pull out of your pockets every time you want to listen to a podcast, an audiobook, or music. (Be sure to get them while they’re on sale!)

No one can deny that a Kindle is a great gift for book lovers. And as much as one may love having physical books around, there’s nothing quite like the ease of carrying multiple books in the small, compact form of an e-reader.

Trust, this will get a lot of play. Combine this gift with games, accessories, and the whole shebang for a holiday activity they won’t forget. (I suggest some extra controllers so you can get in on the fun, too.)

“We all know about selfie sticks, but beginner-friendly photography equipment is more necessary than ever. While my favorite at-home setup might be the Canvas Lamp, my go-to for on-to-go photos and video are the SnapGrip Creator Kit tools, which include a lightweight tripod that fits in your purse, a ring light, and a snap-on digital camera-like power bank (that pulls triple duty as a grip and stand, too). All the tools operate with MagSafe tech, meaning they clip to a steady magnet you can attach to your phone. I love the power bank—which features a Bluetooth-compatible shutter button—for when I want to take more cinematic-style images, and the tripod makes capturing the best angles easier than ever.”—Lauren Puckett-Pope, culture writer

Maybe you live in an apartment and aren’t quite ready to fulfill that smart home life. No worries; let these be your entry point. Set the bulbs up so you can create the perfect personalized ambiance (with one of the many colors or not!) with the convenience of your command when you hook this up to Alexa, Google Assistant, or an Apple Homekit. And if you don’t have one of those, you can always use the app on your phone.

“The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin speaker is renowned for its high-performance wireless sound and iconic styling. Match these features with a special-edition design celebrating the 60th anniversary of supercar manufacturer McLaren Automotives, and you have luxury on so many levels. Plus, everything looks good in McLaren orange.”—Jeffrey Ingledue, deputy managing editor

Besides the novelty of a futuristic flip phone, there are a lot of reasons to love this mint-hued cell from Samsung. For one, it makes taking selfies a whole lot easier with the front-facing camera—all you have to do is wave to the phone, let it register your palm, and wait for the snap.

Powerful (and wearable) tech and a fashion accessory. I need not say any more.

“I’ve tried a number of different tripod configurations to accomplish my middling-but-improving video skills, and the one I’ve liked best so far is the Canvas Lamp, which serves as a desk lamp and tripod in one. Its built-in phone holder and light attach to your workspace and can be twisted into all sorts of angles, which allows you to film yourself, your space, or whatever you’re working on without having to set up a new tripod angle every time you need to adjust your frame.”—Lauren Puckett-Pope, culture writer

I’ve seen this suction cup adhesive mount on the phones of influencers everywhere, which is telling me that this is the tech accessory for all the burgeoning TikTokers, selfie-takers, and vloggers on your shopping list.

Phone charms and phone straps aren’t going away anytime soon, and this pretty number from Ossa is bound to get you endless compliments.

Turns out, you don’t need a gaming console to enjoy endless hours of playtime, thanks to Xbox’s Game Pass Ultimate. Think of Game Pass as the Netflix for games—whether your giftee already has an Xbox or a PC, they can play anywhere, any time.
