Need some gift recommendations for the tech fiends in your life? Look no further than Jonathan Morrison — he runs the YouTube channel TLD, which showcases the newest and greatest tech. Combining his love of tech, humor, and cinematography into an unmistakable signature style, Morrison has grown into a worldwide social video sensation, with his content reaching millions of viewers per month.
Naturally, Morrison has his eyes on plenty of tech products he’d like to receive for the holidays — but also some new stylish products, too. Here’s what Morrison is giving, and hoping to receive, this season.
While keeping a slick, classy design, the Fossil Hybrid Smartwatch combines elegance with convenient features such as activity monitoring and notification vibration reminders. This is a one-of-a-kind smartwatch that will definitely turn heads on the street and would be great for the guy that wants to be both connected and stylish.
These might be my favorite wireless headphones of all time. It’s silly, but I love the color as much as the sound (which is incredible). These are perfect for anyone who just picked up an iPhone X or Pixel 2.
As much as things are headed wireless, it’s always nice to have a backup wired option on hand. This looks good and is hard to lose (unless you’re good at losing your keys).
The Anker Powercore 10,000 is small but packs a ton of power, and in a world where battery life on smartphones and tablets just can’t keep up, this ensures you won’t have a dead device at the end of the day. This would be perfect for the on-the-go, glued-to-their-phone type.
Everything to love about Google Home in a small fun sized version. It packs great sound and the best part is that it’s $49 — can you say stocking stuffer?
With four card slots and a clean leather finish, the Ace Card Case defines what a modern wallet should be: slim, sleek, and compact. This is a wallet you won’t wanna forget at home.
In an everything digital world, sometimes it’s nice to enjoy a physical picture. The Polaroid Zip Printer won’t break the bank and prints some incredible pictures, all without using ink. This is pretty perfect for your Instagram-obsessed siblings (or say, a parent who can’t figure out how to get the photos off their phone).
Incorporating stylish design choices with multiple practical compartments — like a laptop sleeve and more pockets to hold my gear —, the Fossil Defender Rucksack excels in the awesome department. Whether it’s to work or on the go, this pack delivers on a high note.
More and more devices, thank goodness, are equipped with USB-C, and the Samsung MUF128DA2 is the perfect USB-C accessory. It’s compact and, more importantly, is super fast.
If you haven’t jumped into the smart home game, smart lighting is a great place to start. The Philips Hue Color Starter Kit is the perfect way to start with everything you need out of the box to get going — perfect for the new homeowner or interior designer in the family.
