CHICAGO (WLS) -- If you still have to finish your holiday shopping - or you haven't even started yet - no need to panic.

Josh Davis is known as "The Technologist" at Abt Electronics in Glenview. He joined us in the studio with some fun last-minute gift ideas. Best of all, they're all under $100!

Love entertainment?

These "tech" gift cards offer something for everyone, whatever their taste:

1. TV lover: Three months of Hulu Plus video streaming service: $24

2. Music lover: Three months of Spotify Music streaming service: $30

Love the outdoors?

Good-quality touchscreen gloves can be expensive and cheaper ones often don't work very well. Until now.

The Moshi Light Digits touchscreen gloves are the new standard: high quality, low price. Plus, they have conductive fiber on ALL 10 finger tips and a GripTrak pattern so your phone won't slip through your hands into the snow. Only $29.95!

Love to travel?

When it comes to wallets and accessories, Tumi is the gold standard. Their high-quality, hand-crafted wallets make perfect presents and come in elegant gift boxes. Starting at $50.

Love to cook?

Every amateur chef needs the right kitchen gadgets. The KitchenAid three-speed Silver Hand Blender does it all: blends, crushes, chops, purees, whisks and more. All in an easy-to-use, compact design. Only $59!

Love technology?

Hundreds of dollars for a tablet? Forget it! The Asus MeMO Pad 7-inch, 16GB Black Tablet gives you everything you want in a tablet at a fraction of the cost. Lightweight (.6 pounds), stylish, lightning-fast and takes high quality pictures to boot. And you can't beat the price at $79!
