Give The Gift Of Tech With These 9 Must-Have Gadgets - Gizmodo Australia

If you’ve got a tech-obsessed friend, you’ll know there’s nothing better than gifting them a brand new gadget that they can mess around with. But we also know that buying these new devices depends on the kind of person your friend is, which makes it a bit more difficult to give them something they don’t have or something they didn’t know they needed.

We’ve rounded up a few different gift ideas, so no matter what kind of friend you have, you’ll be able to grab a fun new toy for them to play with.

They also make pretty good gifts if you’re looking to treat yourself too.

The person you want to give this to may already have a portable charger, but, honestly, it never hurts to have a spare.

This portable battery provides a recharge of 5,000 mAh, giving an additional 25 hours of call time or 21 hours of web browsing. It’s compatible with most smartphones, and can recharge a smart phone three times over on a single charge.
