63 Best Tech Gifts for 2024 to Shop This Year

Our issue with a lot of gaming gear is RGB lights. We’re not huge fans. Highground, however, makes one that still does the colored lights but in more of a GameBoy Color transparent cover way. Hard to explain, but it looks better than anything else.

Here’s a gift idea, the Esquire Gadget Award–winning mattress attachment that gives them the best sleep of their life and records better data than any wearable ever could. The Eight Sleep Pod 4 Ultra will cool them off to go to bed, adjust them for snoring in the middle of the night, and warm them up so they can wake up at their desired time. It’s the most futuristic item on this list.

Traditionally, we’ve had a hard-line stance that adults should not own colorful LED lights. But the Philips Hue collection can connect to music or TV, and it displays in tasteful, muted shades…. We’ll allow this one.

The strangest, most useful piece of tech on this list. It’s a smart mug that will keep their drink at a precise temperature for hours at a time. No more microwaving coffees.

If you have a teen in the family, get them this little HP printer that will turn any phone-camera picture into a Polaroid. Kids are already into everything analog, but hopefully this will really kick-start an obsession with physical media.

This is the ultimate tech-enabled golfing gift. Even if it’s cold out, you can still make par from the comfort of your home.

Sometimes the best tech gift is one that’s meant to keep them unplugged. Light is a tech company making our favorite “dumb” phones. These are meant to do the bare essentials like call, text, and give map directions. No Instagram, no TikTok, no additively colorful screen. Give this to someone who wants, or needs, to unplug a bit.

What will they do with a 27-inch touch-screen TV on wheels? Well, there’s a lot. It can be a recipe book in the kitchen. It can be a YouTube how-to screen in the garage. Use it to watch an at-home workout video. At the foot of the bed, it’s the perfect size for a weeknight binge. It can do a little bit of everything.

Always looking for new tech gets fucking annoying. Anyone over the age of 30 (and even young gamers who appreciate the classics) will love to (re)discover their love for one of the greatest consoles of all time.

Okay, hear me out … anyone who’s interested in wildlife, over the age of 60, or under the age of 12 is going to love this little smart bird feeder. It gives your ornithologist a direct look at all the birds eating from their little buffet.

If they’re an Android-phone user, especially Samsung, I’d say skip everything else on this list and get them a Galaxy Ring.

Samsung did what everyone has been crying out for from the big phone makers. It made a great smart ring that pairs with any non-Apple phone. Plus, if they have a Samsung, there’s access to even more in-depth health tracking. The color options look great. The tech is great. The price is great. The only people who don’t care about this release are Apple users, and that’s just politics.

Everybody knows somebody who has sleep troubles. For that person, get them the brand-new Therabody SleepMask. It blocks out 100 percent of the light and gently vibrates them to sleep.

The thinking was that the new Nintendo console might be this year’s must-have gaming gift, but it’s looking like it’ll be a 2025 release. In that vacuum, the new Meta Quest 3 has become the must-have device.

Meta is starting to get into a VR-gaming groove. With the Quest 3, it looks like we’re finally entering the future of gaming that we were all promised.

Not even those of us who spend a lot of hours driving know what the heck is happening all the time—who’s behind us, what hit us, etc. Garmin’s dashcam will take care of that—day and night—while looking virtually unnoticeable and giving results through an easy-to-understand app.

The smartest charcoal grill that has ever been made. It has all the benefits of a classic kamado but with live temp readings and auto ignition.
