4 GoPro HERO3+ Black Edition
The GoPro HERO3+ Black Edition was a compact action camera for recording sports, travel and everyday adventures from unusual angles. Its launch-era appeal came from the smaller housing, longer battery life, faster Wi-Fi, sharper lens, SuperView mode and automatic low-light adjustment.

The 2014 Specialized S-Works Enduro is an all-mountain bike built around a carbon front triangle, 165 mm of rear travel, a 160 mm fork and 26-inch wheels. For riders who like technical trails, the appeal is its blend of suspension travel, stability and compact handling.

Gift Ideas for Christmas – High-Tech Fans
7 Google Glass
Google Glass was a head-mounted wearable computer integrated into an eyeglass-style frame, with a small display positioned above the user’s field of view. In this guide, it works best as a design-tech curiosity rather than a buying recommendation.
8 Apple iPad Air
The first iPad Air stood out for making Apple’s full-size tablet notably thinner and lighter, with a 9.7-inch Retina display and a one-pound body. Its appeal was the way a large-screen tablet became easier to carry around the house, office or while traveling.
9 iPhone 5s
The iPhone 5s introduced Apple’s A7 chip, Touch ID and refined camera hardware in a compact metal design. For a design-minded tech list, it belongs as an example of a phone where materials, performance and everyday usability were tightly packaged.
10 Touchscreen Gloves 
Touchscreen gloves are a simple winter accessory: conductive fingertips let you use a phone or tablet without exposing your hands to the cold. The best versions keep the idea understated, warm and practical.
11 Mophie Juice Pack Plus
A battery case such as Mophie’s Juice Pack Plus adds protective coverage while giving an iPhone extra power away from an outlet. It suits commuters, travelers and anyone who uses a phone heavily through the day.
12 LifeProof iPhone case
LifeProof rugged iPhone cases were designed for people who wanted more protection against everyday hazards such as water, dirt, snow, drops and knocks. They turn a fragile phone into something better suited to travel, sport and outdoor use.
13 Bose SoundTouch 20 music system
The Bose SoundTouch 20 was introduced as a compact Wi-Fi music system built around app control and preset-style listening. Its appeal was simple home audio: a speaker that could sit on a shelf or kitchen counter and make music feel more immediate.
14 Grado GS1000 and PS1000 headphones
Grado GS1000 and PS1000 headphones are statement-style open-back headphones for careful listening. Their large housings and spacious presentation make them more of a dedicated listening object than a casual travel accessory.
15 Retro flip clock
A mechanical flip clock brings analog charm to a desk or shelf. It is simple, graphic and easy to read, with moving numbers that add a small bit of theater to an office or bedside table.
16 iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaner
iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaners are autonomous floor-cleaning robots that navigate through rooms and handle everyday dust with minimal supervision. As a household gift, the appeal is less novelty than the time saved on routine cleaning.
17 DJI quadcopter with GoPro mount
A DJI quadcopter with a GoPro mount opens up simple aerial filming from a remote-controlled aircraft. For hobbyists, the value is the new viewpoint: landscapes, gatherings and outdoor trips can be recorded from above.
18 Logicom Spy-C Tank
The Logicom Spy-C Tank is a Wi-Fi controlled toy robot with a built-in camera that sends live video to a phone or tablet. It is a ground-based alternative to a quadcopter for anyone who likes app-controlled gadgets.
19 Sphero v2 remote robotic ball
At first glance, Sphero v2 looks like a clean plastic sphere, but it is an app-controlled robotic ball for iOS and Android devices. It can be driven around, used in games, and passed between play, coding experiments and desk-side entertainment.
20 Mindflex Game
Mattel’s Mindflex game used a lightweight headset to respond to concentration and relaxation, lifting a small foam ball on a cushion of air. The result is a playful tabletop challenge that turns focus into part of the game mechanics.
21 Catapult Pencil
Functional and playful, the catapult pencil brings a bit of desk-toy humor to school or office supplies. Its tiny launcher is more novelty than necessity, but that is the point.
