With less than 1 month to Christmas we will soon be very busy with the Holiday shopping. Well I know that I will. I know people that buy all the gifts in November so they don’t need to stress all out about it in December. I am not one of these guys myself, but they are out there. Christmas is also high season for release of new gadgets and Technology. I am sure that a lot of people dreams about a new gadget, smartphone, tablet or some other kind of tech device under the Christmas tree this year. It can sometime be difficult to know what to buy for people to Christmas, but here is a little list that might get you inspired for your Holiday shopping.
5 Tech presents ideas to put under the Christmas tree for 2012
1. Lego Ninjago
For the young boys and girls Lego Ninjago might be the perfect gift. I do personally know a couple of young kids that love playing with Lego Ninjago. Lego Ninjago comes in a lot of different model.
2. HTC 8X
The HTC 8X comes with the new Windows Phone 8 OS from Microsoft. It has an 8 MP camera and comes in many different colors. With Windows Phone 8 Live Tiles you can customize your phone with the apps you use the most, to auto update with message, pictures and e-mails in the background. Windows Phone 8 also have better support for BlueTooth and the Windows Phone app store currently has about 120,000 apps available for download.
3. Garmin GPS Sports Watch
Garmin Forerunner 210 is a very accurate GPS watch. The data can be analyzed and maps produced of training activities. Great for training for a marathon, recording the route of a paragliding trip, etc.
4. RHA MA450i earphones
Not long ago I wrote a review of MA450i earphones from RHA. It might be a great idea for Christmas presents this year. It is high quality earphones made iPhone, iPod and iPhone.
5. Windows 8
The newest client operating system from Microsoft came just before Christmas. What a big surprise it is 😀 The Holiday sale of Windows 8 might give us a hint on how popular Windows 8 will be in the future. Will it be able to compete with Windows 7 on the desktop marked and how about the tablets?
What do you want for Christmas?
Finally I would love to hear what you want for Christmas? Any big technology wishes on your list? Are you going to give away any tech gifts this year?
Hi Tim, This is a great list! Believe it or not, I am not craving tech for Christmas. I have all of the tech I need, though none of it is the latest model. I have older models of my phone, computer, iPad and Kindle. But they work fine for me so I don’t see a need to upgrade.
How about you? What’s your favorite tech you’re hoping for this year?
Hi Carolyn
To be honest I normally don’t wish my any tech stuff for Christmas. I prefer to by my tech devices myself to make sure I get the best 😉 I do however like to give away tech stuff present.
Sorry about the typo, Thomas! I know your name.
I’m like you, I have what I need but like to give tech gifts to others. I like introducing people to new tech, but they have to have open minds. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. My father didn’t like his Kindle, but my father-in-law can’t live without his now.
HTC 8x is the best but i will choose windows 8 over it as i need it hard..
HTC 8X looks good but not sure if there are plenty of apps available for this platform yet. I will go with the new Nexus phone this time.
Hi Dmitri
I know what you mean. Not that the number of apps are that important for me, but there still is a lot of the cool apps that are not developed for Windows Phone.
I do have to say that I do like the look of the earphones, being an avid listener of music these would be perfect for my Christmas list, I’ll have to add them to my list to give to Santa on Saturday 😉
Hi Karen
If you have been a good girl this year I am sure that Santa will bring your a set of earphones from RHA 🙂
I’m always good 😉 But I think I’ve been specially good this year Thomas 😉
Hi Thomas! Thanks for the info on some of the new tech gadgets. I am a fanatic when it comes to new tech stuff that is coming out. I have been looking for an all in one tablet/notebook for awhile now, so when I saw the commercial for the Surface I knew it was something I had to have. Any thoughts on the Surface or similar devices?
Hi Ron
I don’t have any tablet yet, but I have been thinking about a Surface too. I have also considered a Google Nexus 10, but it is a more regular Android Tablet. The Surface has some advantage for a PC guy like me and it has a real kind of keyboard. I am not sure yet what device I will go for.
Thanks for the great ideas, Thomas! My wife, knowing that I work at DISH, has been bugging me for a way to stream TV to another device when I am hogging the TV. What she doesn’t know is that I already got her an iPhone 5 to stream to, as well as a DISH Sling Adapter to stream live TV and DVR recordings from our Hopper DVR. Now I am looking for a few stocking stuffers to go with the new phone, and I think those earphones might be just what I have been looking for.
I am happy to hear that you found this post useful.
Hi Thomas Really its Very interesting Topic. I would like to go for HTC 8X . Because I need to latest Phone. And it is the best for me. Well thanks for counting me.Just keep in touch.
It is for user looking like a nice phone.
i like HTX 8X dan Lego Ninjago, this is surely for men.. 🙂
I kind of hope someone gives me some Lego Ninjago for christmas 😀
Hey Thomas, thanks for the article. Christmas can be so stressful. It’s only few weeks away and I’m still thinking about getting meaningful presents for my family. I’m definitely getting my son the Lego Ninjago, sounds great!
Hy Tyler
I am sure that your son will love to get a Lego Ninjago box for Christmas 🙂
I think Windows 8 could be the best and productive gift. I recently hit the gadget shop to ask Windows 8 price and I was surprise. Compare to Windows Vista and Windows 7 when released, it’s extremely cheap.
I think it would be the cheapest and best gift coz these days everyone has computer and they are of good use.
As far as I know Windows 8 is discounted until February 2013. It is properly because Microsoft needs a good sale for this Christmas.
I’m not sure about the earphones as a gift for Christmas. All the other tech gifts sound awesome. I was also thinking about the HTC 8X. Looks like a great gift for anyone. Thanks
I’ve just read an article showing out that Ipad is the most desired present for Christmas. Don’t know for sure if it’s true 🙂
I would not be surprised at all if it is true. They are very popular.
Thanks for the great info..Especiall i like the post for HTC 8X .Because Its looks slim and sharp.I think it is the best for me.I hope to see more informative and useful update in future.
Nice article, very useful especially now when Christmas are coming. I am thinking about a new phone for my sister and HTC 8X really catch me eye, thanks.
I love some of the items you mentioned but my finances are not encouraging. I hope it will be better next year.
Tech gifts can be very expensive for sure.
Useful list to deal with Christmas issue. I think I will pick Lego for my son, and Garmin GPS for my brother. That watch look awesome. Thank you, Thomas!
It sounds like some god choices Harry
These all look awesome to me. I got a new Sony smartphone for me a few days back and loving it. I would like an Ipad for this Christmas. been wanting it for long. Thanks for the share.
Thomas – That is an interesting list of gift ideas for the season. I am craving for a new laptop and of course on Win 8 OS. Let me see if i score it this season 🙂
I had a guest writer write a similar round up of tech gifts, do check it out.
Thanks for sharing.
A new laptop would be great for sure. I am on my way to check out the guest post.
Thanks for reading that guest post. I hope someone gift me a Ipad 🙂 :).
What I truly desire now is to have the latest laptop. That’s what makes me really happy. Anyway, still great list you have there.
Thank you for sharing your list. With Christmas just around the corner I’m in a rush to get something great for my sister.
I am not craving tech for Christmas. I have all of the tech I need, though none of it is the latest model. I have older models of my phone, computer, iPad and Kindle. But they are all work fine.
Got myself an 8X myself for Christmas, awesome phone. Glad I made the switch to Windows. Wish I had known about Lego Ninjago sooner haha.
Thanks for sharing, Thomas! You just gave me an idea what to buy this Christmas. I think I’m going to choose RHA MA450i earphones as a Christmas gift for my brother.
Hi Thomas
I have started my christmas shopping early this year and all though your ideas are slightly out of date it has lead on to some great ideas 🙂
Thanks
Danny
We are getting close to another Christmas. The latest HTC or Samsung will be a lovely present 😉
