Some people are wroth splurging on; your significant other, your parents, or most importantly yourself. A high tech gift is such a wow factor, and something most people would love to receive. I have personally gifted myself or my loved ones these gifts, so I know you will enjoy them too!
People see tech gifts and immediately think $$$$$. I have a little secret to how to get them for less. Do a little digging!! As long as you’re not looking for the newest just released model, you can find Apple products or really any tech products for a pretty reasonable price!
Pricing:
- Apple Watch Series 3: $169
- Ipad 7th or 8th Gen: $269-$299
- AirPods 1st gen: $129
- AirPods Pro: $250 (currently $199 at Target!!)
- Ember heated coffee mug: $99-$129
- Nespresso by Breville vertuo set: $179
I just got an iPad (8th gen, which is still the newest model) for less than $300 brand new on Amazon during one of their sales (full price is $329). If you get an ipad pro it’ll cost you over $1000. While they’re not the same thing, if your recipient is probably going to end up using it to watch Netflix most of the time, then a regular ipad is more than sufficient. Or you could get the ipad mini to make it easier to travel with if they’re a jet setter, and it still doesn’t break the bank. Same goes for smart watches or wireless head phones. Getting just one previous model version can get you some serious savings. Regular airpods (not the pros) are under $200, and are stull such a luxury gift. Target also often does sales or promotions with gift cards for older models of Apple products if you are set on getting an Apple product! There are also many other great wireless Bluetooth head phones out there as well.
The ember temperature controlled mug is just genius. It keeps your drink at the perfect temperature, not too hot, and not too cold for up to 90 minutes. And it’s a gift that most people don’t already have, but are sure to love! My mother loves to drink coffee, but work happens and she forgets to drink it and then it gets cold. This was the perfect gift for her since she didn’t have to worry about cold coffee anymore.
A high tech coffee machine is also another gift your recipient is sure to love. I personally love the vertuo line of Nespresso machines because it allows you to make both coffee and espresso, and they often have values sets that include a milk frother, so cappuccinos are so easy to make at home! You can find the set that comes with a sample pack of pods and the frother for around $175. If a coffee lover you know doesn’t own one yet, it’s an amazing gift!!
While shopping for others, don’t forget to treat yourself 🙂
