The best tech gifts for 2024







They'll love these noise-canceling earbuds, which provide clear, immersive sound and have a comfortable fit, thanks to their four included ear tips.



A smart display can help them play their favorite videos, display their family photos or even video call their loved ones. This one has Alexa built-in so it can be operated hands-free.



One of our favorite gifts under $50, this water-resistant speaker has a 24-hour battery life and weighs under one pound - the perfect gift for any music lover on the go.





For VR lovers, the Meta Quest 3 is a great headset option as it can get you a little over two hours of battery life and can be operated with just hand gestures. It's louder and features a better video resolution compared to the Meta Quest 2.



I recently tested this gaming keyboard for my setup and love the level of personalization it offered. It also offers quick response times, RGB lighting (of course) and a new feature called "protection mode." This is game-changing as it reduces your keyboard's sensitivity around surrounding keys versus your active and intended keys, making the amount of accidental inputs fairly sparse. Gift this for the gamer in your life and they'll be sure to love it.





The PlayStation 5 is still a highly coveted tech gift and this digital edition is sleek enough for the smallest spaces. Play your favorite downloadable games, and you'll even get a wireless controller included.



This on-sale projector is both lightweight and compatible with a wide variety of devices, including your laptop or even your gaming console. It has built-in speakers too, and weighs just under three pounds for portability.



This sleek, lightweight laptop from Microsoft is one of my favorites for travel and productivity. It's got an all-day battery life, smart security features and can handle almost any task you throw at it.





Yes, you can get a TV below $100, like this HD TV from Insignia. It has Fire TV built-in for access to your favorite streaming apps, and Apple AirPlay support so you can cast directly from your smartphone.



An e-reader can help them take their favorite books with them wherever they go. The Paperwhite has an adjustable display and a multi-week battery life.



These comfy noise-canceling headphones offer some of the best sound on the market and a 24-hour battery life on a single charge. Get them for the audiophile in your life.



Turn any TV into a smart TV with a Roku streaming stick. Get access to streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and more, and even stream in 4K resolution.



Any Mario fan will love the new game, which takes place in the Flower Kingdom and brings back Bowser as the classic villain. There are new characters and new game modes to be found, making this installment feel like a brand new era for Mario games, whilst still feeling nostalgic at the same time.



This digital camera has an in-built photo printer which can be used to print pictures from your camera or directly from your smartphone via Bluetooth. Shoot with six built-in filters to add an effect to your photos.



This starter smartwatch can help them track their fitness and sleep stats. It also connects to iPhones and can let them receive their texts and calls straight on their wrist.



Portable power banks can be cute too, and this one is made from vegan leather and recycled materials. It offers wireless charging or can be used with a USB-C cable if you prefer the corded route - you'll even get the cable included. Use it to charge your smartphone or compatible earbuds and make sure your devices never run out of juice.



If a smartwatch is too bulky for them, help them track their fitness stats with an Oura Ring. It can track everything from skin temperature to resting heart rate and blood oxygen levels.



If you're looking for a more premium speaker offering, go with this Marshall pick which happens to be my personal favorite. It produces strong bass, even at low volumes, and is pretty loud too - I never have to push the volume past 70%. It's also dust and water-resistant.



A mobile gaming controller can make it easier to play smartphone games for extended periods of time. This one is compatible with older iPhone models, although it's also available for USB-C compatible smartphones, including the latest iPhone 15 and Android models.



This portable massager can help ease muscle pains in your calves, thighs, arms and more. Choose between two interchangeable heads and take this gadget with you to the gym and beyond.



Light strips are not just for dorm rooms or game rooms, you can use light strips to spruce up any space. This option can be customized through the Govee Home app and even used with voice assistance, including Google Assistant and Alexa.



Journaling is far more fun if you never run out of pages, and with this smart notebook, they never will. Convert handwriting to digital text and take your notes with you wherever you go.



This portable console can hold their favorite games and can be taken with them on long flights, daily commutes or road trips. Choose between three different colors and game no matter where you are.



This cozy blanket glows in the dark and is a great gift for the young gamer in your life. It'll make a nice addition to their bedroom or gaming desk and is made from a soft fleece fabric that they'll love.



This motion sensor-enabled video game console comes with five games included for immersive play. The AI-powered camera can track your moves, giving you an arcade-lie experience right at home
