1. Custom Laptop Skin
Skins are the best way to customize a laptop. A skin protects the top surface of a laptop from getting dirty or scratched while adding absolutely no weight to it. This makes it a much better option than a case that is thick and bulky. Apart from protection, the skin also changes the look of your laptop entirely. While skins generally come in pre-printed patterns, this one is completely customizable. So, you can upload an image of your choice and the seller will ship you a unique skin that you can gift to your friends and family. It can be a unique tech gift that’s rather inexpensive but one that will stay on their laptop for a long, long time. The reviews say that the print quality is good and removing the skin doesn’t leave behind any residue.
2. Echo Dot 5th Gen for Kids
If you think a standard Echo Dot looks unappealing to kids, you must consider the Echo Dot 5th Gen for kids. There are 2 customized designs to choose from — Owl and Dragon. They’re both unique and will surely interest your children. It adds a fun touch to something as mundane as a speaker. Since it’s an Echo Dot, you get all the functionality of Alexa from playing rhymes and songs to setting reminders. Alexa can also answer questions that kids may be curious about and even assist with homework. The specialty of this Echo Dot, apart from the design, is that it has parental controls. So, you can track usage, limit certain search terms, etc. The voice of Alexa can also be changed to that of an owl or a dragon depending on which variant you get.
3. Casetify Custom Phone Case
Casetify gives you several options to customize a phone case based on who you’re gifting it to. You can choose the phone’s model, the type of case, and then the layout of the custom pictures. Once you upload the images, you can reposition them. There are several options for devices as well. So, you can choose to get a case for an iPhone, iPad, Mac, and some Android devices. The cases themselves are excellent in terms of quality and offer a great deal of protection if you drop your phone. You seldom find phone cases that are both protective and attractive so this one from Casetify solves that problem. It is slightly on the expensive side but you’re paying for the quality and the superior protection.
4. Nomad Base Station Wireless Charger
The Nomad base station — apart from being a wireless charger that charges 2 devices at once — is also an excellent desk accessory that accentuates the look of your setup. It has a wooden base along with a leather pad on the top to rest smartphones or any other accessory that supports wireless charging. This can be a thoughtful gift since wireless chargers are convenient and also look good when rested on a desk or a bedside table. Unlike standard wireless chargers, the Nomad Base Station has a rich and premium look making it a unique tech gift for anyone who has an iPhone and AirPods.

You can add custom photos via a smartphone app that you can download on both Android and iOS. It connects to Wi-Fi and keeps running a stream of photos that you upload to the frame.

This is mainly because the headphones fit so well into Apple’s ecosystem. They can switch seamlessly between an iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Enough about the AirPods Pro’s capabilities.
