Stumped on what to get your pals for the holidays?
Even though you know them so well, it can be tough and that's why we've created an entire list of gift guides based on personalities. Arguably one of the hardest friends to shop for (in our humble opinion) is the techie friend.
If you're not in the know, deciphering what's what can get confusing and let's face it: you can't tell one TV from the other. Don't sweat it, we did all the research for you and found a plethora of tech-centric gifts that even you will want.
Go on, read up and tell us we're wrong!
TVs are something we all have and probably keep until we die and we need a new one. But say your friend is really into watching movies or maybe football. A normal TV really won't do. Enter: This state-of-the art version that has LG's advanced tone-mapping technology that provides scene-by-scene optimization, among other standout upgrades.

Raise your hand if your pal is super excited for the newly launched Pokémon game. Depending on what version you get, you can choose between Pikachu & Eevee. e Pokémon trainers, Gym Leaders. This one's similar to Pokémon Go (mobile spin off), but this time players are not restricted to traditional battles. Game on!
Not to be biased, but these are pretty much the best of the best when it comes to headphones. Not only do they come in tons of fun colors, they're incredibly stylish. Also: They're wireless, have Bluetooth capability, noise isolation and a 1-year manufacturer's warranty. What could be a better present than that?

Cleaning is fun, said no one ever but on the rare occasion that you've got a pal that loves to tidy up, here you go. This cordless vacuum is tiny, but packs mad power. It's also so portable and easy to use (a.k.a. a neat freak's dream come true).

Here's an idea: An alarm clock that's actually soothing. This light therapy lamp and sunrise alarm clock is clinically proven to improve your energy, sleep and well-being. Did we mention that it also comes with a free 3-month Headspace meditation subscription (for optimal Zen)?
Whether you're a pro or an amateur, crisp, clear photos are always a win. This version is easy to use as a point-and-shoot and takes beautiful DSLR photos and videos every time. Did we mention it's lightweight and super portable? (So another win.)
Phone chargers are so not sexy, but we all need them. Scratch that, we all need at least a couple. So what's more techie than a regular old wall one? A wireless pad that charges virtually every model and at a 30% faster rate. Into it.
Who doesn't love a good smelling home? This smart diffuser is part home scent system and part air purifier. the techie part comes into play when you download the coordinating app to your phone, where you can control it from. We also hear it's an ideal gift for pet owners (for obvious smell-good reasons).
For the beauty queen/techie in your life, look no further than this smart mirror. The perfectly-sized mirror helps you assess your skin's conditions and has some handy magnifying features but our favorite has to be LED light simulation feature. It includes five different lighting scenarios so, basically, no matter where your girl is headed she can apply her makeup accordingly.
OK, so this one is part beauty gift, part techie gift. We love it because the device uses microcurrent technology to tighten your skin. Bonus: The gold color feels festive for the holidays and the set comes complete with cleansing cloths and primer to help use like a pro.
