Having tech around the house is almost unavoidable, even for the most non tech-savvy among us. Thankfully there are a lot of tech-based gift ideas for the non tech-savvy out there. They’re the kind of gift gadgets you can give to grandma to help her look up-to-date without challenging her tech knowledge.
1. Nixplay WiFi Cloud Frames
The Nixplay Seed WiFi Cloud Frame comes with 10GB of free cloud storage, connects to social media and other platforms and can receive photos directly from a smartphone. If WiFi and social media are words that are going to scare the recipient away, try the Nixplay Edge WiFi Cloud Frame. With all the same great benefits of the Nixplay Seed WiFi Cloud Frame, the Nixplay Edge allows the option of adding photos through a USB or SD Card instead
It’s a gift that both your grandma or your startup-founding cousin could enjoy. With the ability to create playlists of your favorite memories, even the most tech-challenged person you know will find it worthwhile to get this set up.
2. FitBit
The FitBit takes next to no maintenance and is useful for everyone from an athlete to your family’s resident cubicle-dweller. It tracks your activity throughout the day to keep you on your exercise goals.
Best of all? It makes everyone feel good. Didn’t get to exercise today? No problem. You can tell everyone how many steps you took on your commute and feel good even if you didn’t make it to the gym.
3. Tile Dongle
Tech savvy or not, we all lose our keys. The Tile Dongle helps make sure that it happens a little less frequently. The Tile Dongle is a tiny sensor you can attach to your keys — or other often misplaced objects — that will help you track them down next time they’re misplaced.
Using either an audible noise or a visual tracker, the Bluetooth-connected Tile Dongle is an affordable digital tether for the objects that you lose most often. Tile Dongle for your Tile Dongle not included.
4.Jawbone Jambo
We all love music and with music moving to digital, the tactile-loving music fans among us miss our stereos and the idea of holding an album.
The Jambox takes us a little closer to the glory days of yore. The wireless speaker connects to your computer or Bluetooth-enabled phone to give you music on the go. Play any of the music from yesteryear that you want to hear all over the house or office.
5. Pet Rock
No batteries required AND no wires? Now that’s a Christmas miracle!
Pet rocks also come with a free trip back to the 80s for anyone watching the gift recipient unwrap their present. Everyone wins with the pet rock. See also: Chia pets, Pop Rocks and the first two seasons of Dallas on DVD.
