iDB holiday gift guide: Sébastien’s picks

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated October 16, 2018

If you're anything like me, coming up with gift ideas for your loved ones can be a difficult task that happens to also be time consuming. That's why every year, iDB Editors come up with a list of what they think would make great gifts for the techies and non-techies alike in your life, hoping it will help you find something for that special person.

This year, I have tried to stay on a budget, and although there are a couple big ticket items in my list, most of them are very affordable. After all, it isn't the size or price of the gift that matters, but the size of the heart that gives it.

One of my favorite things about the holidays is gift-hunting. Whether I'm looking for something to add to my own wish list, or shopping for others, I love trying to track down the perfect present. So as you can imagine, I enjoy taking part in iDB's annual Holiday Gift Guide.

My picks this year consist of both fun and practical gift ideas, that have proven to be well-made and well-reviewed. As you might have guessed, many of the suggestions are tech-related, but I did make sure to include a few non-tech ideas for those that prefer non-gadget gifts.

As 2015 creeps up on its closing, Christmas is the last chance to buy that special someone the perfect gift (unless their birthday falls after Dec. 25). iDownloadBlog is ready to give you the inspiration you need to get the right gift for the right person with our fourth annual Holiday Gift Guide.

This year, my personal preferences for the perfect package under the Christmas tree leans toward wearables and virtual reality. But, I've also included a few gifts for traditional techies, as well as ideas for the non-tech geek in your life.

My least favorite thing about Christmas is finding gifts for others. I'm usually completely uncreative when it comes to gift ideas, which is why those gift guides are helpful to me. During the last few days, my colleagues at iDB have shared their gift ideas, and today is my turn. Of course, this is really tech oriented, because you know, we're tech heads. There is something for every budget, from big spenders to affordable stocking stuffers, I hope you'll find something to your liking here.

Now I'm not sure if you folks have noticed, but we're currently hurtling towards Christmas. It's not so much crept up on us as jumped out from behind a pillar, pulled a funny face and shouted "oogabooga" at the top of its lungs. Christmas is just around the corner, and it's time to get those gifts sorted out.

If you're much more organized than my good self, then you're probably reading this with a decidedly smug grin on your face sipping on some egg nog, but if like me you just can't bring yourself to do Christmas shopping until the week in which the day actually occurs then you may just be sat panicking at the thought of coming up with some gift ideas.

And that's where we come in.

The year has flown by and 2014 has reached its holiday season, which means the usual cold weather, long lines, gift shopping, family visits, delectable food, and exorbitant amounts of sweets. In an effort to help you avoid the lines and still find meaningful gifts for your friends and family, my colleagues and I have compiled our yearly holiday gift guides with a gift for everyone on your list.

Throughout the year, I've come across several amazing devices, accessories, and services that I've grown to love and use daily. Each of these has a lasting value and isn't likely to be forgotten, abandoned, or returned the day after Christmas – a quality I look for in things I purchase all year long.

It's that time of year again and iDownloadBlog is right on cue with its traditional Holiday Gift Guide. Choosing the perfect Christmas gift can be stressful, whether you're looking to surprise your best friend with a useful item that won't break the bank, delight your gadget-toting family members with handy accessories, or give that special someone in your life a unique surprise.

Here's a list of holiday gifts that, based on my personal experience, provide long lasting value without costing too much. Needless to say, it's a highly subjective list and you may not agree with all of the recommended products. That's beyond the point, however, as the article is meant to provide an inspiration as you research before buying things for yourself and the people in your life you care about.
