Holiday Tech Gift Guide
This years 2025 holiday tech gift guide involves a list of exciting and innovative tech products. I have personally used each of these and can answer any questions!
iPhone 17 Pro Max
$1099 and up
Apple’s newest iPhone Pro models feature three 48-megapixel sensors (main, ultra-wide, and telephoto) for high native detail and consistent color. The front selfie camera is now 18 megapixels and can switch between portrait and landscape modes. Like last year’s Pro models, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max use a four-mic array for cleaner voice isolation, Spatial Audio capture, and better wind-noise handling. The iPhone 17 Pro Max offers up to 39 hours of local video playback, while the regular Pro reaches up to 33 hours. Both models come with 12 GB of RAM and up to 2TB of storage.
Nomad tracking card $29
As thin as two credit cards, it’s one of the slimmest trackers, easily fitting into any wallet without bulk. The tracking card wirelessly charges on Qi or MagSafe chargers, including upright MagSafe models. Once charged, it lasts up to five months in your wallet.
Mikasa Rechargeable 14-inch LED Lamps
2 for $50
These 14-inch lamps are easy to move around and cordless, offering plenty of freedom. Adjust the brightness by tapping the top and choose the light intensity with a longer press. A quick tap switches the color temperature. Comes in a set of two lamps.
Epson EcoTank ET-3843 Printer
$299
Epson’s EcoTank printers use refillable ink tanks instead of cartridges, saving up to 90% on ink. Simply refill the tanks with ink bottles. These printers keep ink in sealed tanks, reducing the risk of drying out. Epson claims EcoTank ink evaporates less than regular cartridge ink, but print heads can still clog if not used frequently. Regular use helps maintain smooth operation. I bought one three years ago and haven’t bought ink since. New ink comes in four bottles for about $30.
Mac Mini
$599 and up
The Mac Mini is a budget-friendly Apple product starting at $599. Its small size and great performance make it versatile for home and work. You can customize it with RAM and storage upgrades. Apple’s customer support and software updates ensure longevity and security, providing a smooth experience.
Anker Laptop Power Bank, 25,000mAh
Portable Charger
$120
Fast-charging for on-the-go gadgets. This power bank is about the size of a soda can with a capacity of 27,650mAh and can charge a 13-inch MacBook Air (M2) 1.28 times or an iPhone 14 almost 5 times. This power bank is 99.54Wh, which meets the requirements of the TSA(<100Wh) to be taken on airplanes as carry-on baggage.
