Techilicious by Rajiv Makhni: Festive tech gifting with a twist

With great festivities come great responsibilities. After all, the gift you give to someone or to yourself should actually spread joy and happiness. Thus, tech gifts are a natural, as nothing makes the heart sing more than a gadget wrapped in festive paper. The problem is that we don’t really think outside the box when we gift tech. It’s almost always fairly typical stuff. Even festive tech buying guides don’t help much. Two product categories dominate – phones and TVs. I’m guilty of this too, every year, when I bring out a list and phones and TVs constitute 90 per cent of the recommendations.
