What Are Four Things to Get that Tech Geek for Christmas?

We know. It’s only October, and we haven’t even see a commercial for “The Great Pumpkin” or a Nightmare on Elm Street movie yet. But it’s never too early to at least start considering what you’re going to buy those you love for Christmas. The earlier you get started, the more time you’ll have to enjoy the holidays rather than hunting for parking or waiting in line with countless other procrastinators. Another benefit is that you can spread out your spending, so it doesn’t destroy your bank account all at once.  Finally, you’ll have time to find something for that picky person in your life. For the point of this blog, we’re going to look into what you should get for the tech geek among your friends and family.

Get them a new iPad case: Although very durable, a new iPad 2 case can be a way to relieve an older iPad case that has put in its service protecting that very expensive tablet. There are so many out there that you’re sure to find one that works for them. Plus, you can pick a case that fits the user’s personality, and because it covers the entire tablet, it’s almost like the recipient is getting a brand new iPad.

Get them quality ear buds: Anyone who has tried exercising with inferior ear buds knows how frustrating it can be to try and jump around or perform a move while you’re sweating without losing sound or placement. Various sites like Men’s Health, Consumer Reports and CNET have tested ear buds with the rigors of exercise in mind, so it might be a good idea to shop for one of their recommendations.

Get them a PS4 accessory: Is a particular family member or friend a gamer? If so, they’ll most likely be in line when November 15^th comes around, or they already have pre-ordered it. While it certainly looks like a fantastic console with unmeasured capabilities, it’s also a bit on the expensive side. After spending money on the console, there might be little left for a second controller, game, or other accessory. This is where you step in.

Get them an iTunes gift card: Okay. It might be boring, but when has anyone ever rejected a free iTunes gift card? If you’re stuck and have no idea what to get your gift recipient, an iTunes gift card is the perfect gift. Your recipient will be in charge of what they get, so they’ll be able to get something they know they’ll like.
