The holidays are soon about to sneak up on us, and many people have spent the past days, weeks, months glued to screens. For the tech-heads in your life, though, you can liven up the final days of 2020 with gifts that encourage breaks from screens (or at least make screen time fun again). Maybe the tech-lover in your life also loves to cook. Maybe they have a secret eye for fashion. Or maybe they love anything bright and shiny and new. Any which way, they’ll remember these gifts for long after this year (finally) ends.
13 must-have gifts for gear heads who need to get away from screens
From a resurrected camera classic to a perfect single malt Scotch whisky.
