Whether you think a loved one would enjoy a tech update in their home, or if you want to give them one for safety purposes, there are lots of models that do different things available to buy.

Portable Chargers
When you rely on technology so much every minute of the day, you need to make sure that your devices are fully charged, even when you are on the go. Portable chargers are a must have for this, and are especially helpful when you are traveling and out of home for long hours during the day.
They are small, compact and ideal small Christmas gifts that are affordable but a valuable gift for any technology user. Whether you need to charge your phone, tablet or kindle, a portable charger means you will never risk your battery running low away from home.
Fitness Trackers
Fitness trackers are a great alternative to smart watches, which also track your fitness activities but are a lot more basic, affordable and sought after by those who want it to be for one purpose. Fitness trackers have become more and more popular as people focus on their health and fitness, sharing results and workouts with friends and family.
Whether you want to track your workouts, monitor your heart rate, track your sleep or use it as a GPS when you are out and about, fitness trackers do it all and are the perfect gift for all ages.
Popular brands include:
- Garmin - they have a broad selection of fitness trackers that are as sophisticated as those you would expect from a smart watch, but they are often a more affordable option. Whether you want to track cardio workouts or your water intakes, Garmin trackers do it all.
- Fitbit - one of the first fitness trackers out there, fitbits have lots to offer depending on the model and version that you get.
