To keep up a good tradition here on my blog, I also this year provide you with some ideas for great tech gifts to put under the Christmas tree this year. What better than to get some new electronic or a new gadget for Christmas.
My list of Tech gifts for 2015
Christmas is not far away and as always, I bring to you a list of ideas for Tech Gifts that might bring happiness to your family or maybe even yourself this year. I have found a little collection of gadgets and stuff that might bring you the perfect Christmas spirit 🙂
1. Chromecast Version 2 from Google
If you like me are a big fan of Google Chromecast, you might want to upgrade to the new version 2 of Google Chromecast that was released this year (9/29/2015). The new version comes in 3 different colors and with upgraded hardware and software.

2. Mini Quadcopter

How about the worlds Smallest Quadcoper to put under the Christmas tree this year. You can get it at Hammacher Schlemmer for only $39.95. If you are on a low budget but still want a cool gadget, this might be the perfect gift. Find more information here: Mini Quadcopter
3. Tylt VU 3 Coil Qi wireless mobile charger
If you don’t already have a wireless mobile charger you are going to love this one. With this QI wireless mobile charger all you need is to put it in the stand and it will automatically start charging. Whenever you are late for work, you just grab your phone and off you go without first removing a cable.
Just make sure you smartphone is QI compatible before buying this one. Most new smartphones sold today supports QI.
4. Segboard
Maybe you have seen kids or teenagers riding a board like this in your neighborhood. It is not as expensive as a Segway, but still a fun way to get around. Maybe it was something you want to giveaway or maybe you want one for yourself. It comes in many different colors.
Update: Amazon pulls hoverboards over safety fears
5. Cablox Cable Organizer
This is a cool little gadget I first saw over at my good friend, Carolyn’s blog at WonderofTech. It is a really smart piece of plastic that can organize your cables without using a ton of strips. Just check out the video above. It is one of the handiest products in cable management I have ever seen.
6. Jabra Sport Wireless+ headset
For the active runner who wants to keep track on statistics and run time, this might be a great choice. I have one myself and it works great with Endomondo Sports app. I wrote a review about the Jabra Sport Wireless+ headset a couple a months ago.
What do you want for Christmas?
Please drop me a comment below at let me know what gadget you wish for yourself this Christmas.
Mini Quadcopter That great tech gifts for my son!
I does look pretty awesome. I consider buying one for myself 🙂
Thanks for sharing my choise is mini quad copter
It is pretty cool the little mini quadcopter..!
thanks for sharing, i’ll choice Jabra Sport Wireless+ headset.
merry christmas and happy new year 🙂
I have one myself and I am very pleased with it.
Hi Thomas, I’d love a wireless charger for my phone but my phone doesn’t support that. Maybe some day!
Hi Carolyn
I have had my wireless charger for about 6 month now and I love it. No need to plug any cable in the phone, just put it on the little pad and it starts charging by itself. I am sure it will be standard in all phones sometime in a near future.
Out of everything in this list, I’d certainly take the mini quadcopter. However, I’d reccomend the Cheerson CX-10c. It’s a whole lot cooler, and it can record video!
Hi Finn
Thanks for the tip about the Cheerson CX-10c copter.
Hey Thomas,
Yeah christmas is cumming and tech gift is best option to give our repents or our friends.I think chromecast version 2 is good choice as gift because i tried chromecast prev. version its not too good but new version have so many feature. i already bought it but it good for those who want smart tv anywhere.
Thanks for great article dude 🙂
The minicopter looks fun, it has a 10 minute run time which is better than a lot of the minicopters I’ve seen. But it recharges on the remote which uses AAA batteries I’m guessing it rips through them 🙂
One of my co-workers got one of the big drones that you control with a mobile device. We are waiting for him to bring it into work.
Hi Jason
I am sure that your co-workers drone will make the office a lot more fun 🙂 I am really considering to get a drone of my own too.
Mini Quadcopter and Cablox cable organizer is a great idea! And I want the DVR in the car 🙂
merry christmas and happy new year 🙂
That is two of my favorites too.
Hi Thomas …
The gifts you mentioned here in your Post are Really amazing. If I bought such tech gadgets, I would never Gift it to Anyone :p .
Well, thanks for providing us knowledge of these such stuff prevailing in market.
Among Above 6 gadgets, I love Segboard and wieless headset
I’ve got a Segboard down on my list to Santa, you just never know 😉 😉
Hi Karen
I can see it for my how you will be cruising around Rhyl on a Segboard 😀
I would have been excited to have gotten any of these gifts this holiday! I especially love the new Chromecast dongle. Well, actually, the segboard/hoverboards scare me a little ever since I read that so many have faulty batteries.
Mini Quadcopter I Really want it LOL
The mobile charger is a good option as it has really become annoying to charge a phone every time.
The segboard is the only ting in the list that I got in 2015, it’s called hover board here in the Philipines. lol. I might consider getting Jabra headset this year Thomas, looks pretty awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Many of the companies that make these hoverboards/segboards got sued by segway and are of the market. The cablox cable organizer is what i could use here though my cable management is a mess
Thanks for sharing bro really nice gifts I will surely give to my brother next year
I will surely get the cable management kit… really need it at my office as the speakers and printer that lays right at my table has a lot of wires that I have to get rid of. Thank you.
