让我们称之为“体贴”的礼物-一个能跳出框框思考的礼物。它不是典型的“游戏机”或“合同外智能**”的亲人期待你购买。不！完全是另一回事。这是一种默契的承认，你不应该把一个朋友或家人关在一个或另一个生态系统里。那不是你的工作，那是一个非常非常私人的决定，需要深刻的反省。

相反，也许你知道你的朋友刚升级到iphone5，但有一大堆30针的长接口，现在不用了。Apple Lightning适配器表示您关心、倾听。或者你朋友的**总是在不合适的时候挂断，这就是为什么他或她不能给你打电话，告诉你好像其他人都去参加的聚会——给他或她买一个便携式电池组，这样就永远不会。发生。再一次。这些是体贴的礼物，显示你的关心，你在倾听。

但更重要的是，它们比一般的礼物便宜。

Apple Lightning to 30-pin adapter

Price: $39.00

After nine years on the market Apple decided to leave the venerable 30-pin dock connector behind, turning a thriving ecosystem into an island of deprecated, misfit accessories almost overnight. While Apple’s Lightning to 30-pin Adapter doesn’t solve all of the problems introduced with the change, it’s a safe bet that the connector — or its cabled variant — will be welcomed by anyone with a new iPhone 5. Or an iPod touch. Or an iPad mini. Or…

Mophie Juice Pack Powerstation Pro

Price: $99.95

The Mophie Juice Pack Power Station Pro is a brick of an external battery that can charge virtually any mobile device available on the market today. Featuring a basic USB input, Powerstation Pro can even charge power hungry devices like an iPad or Nexus 7, and you can expect 2-3 complete charges for your average **artphone before it needs to be recharged itself. It’s also been tested against dust and water, so it should be able to outlast most of your gadgets.

Tonx subscription for 2 months

Price: $76

Finding great coffee beans can be a chore, especially if you don’t live in an area with good local coffeeshops and roasters. Tonx takes the pain out of it by doing all the leg work, and then shipping the fresh roasted beans direct to your door every two weeks. The company will source the beans and then roast them, so all you have to do is grind ‘em up and get brewing. A two-month standard subscription runs about $76 and should get your coffee-loving giftee suitably addicted to the service.

10-foot USB cable for iPhone

Price: $15.00

Think of all the times you’ve sat on the floor next to an outlet while your phone charges. Or the times when you had to get up in the morning and race across the hotel room to turn off your alarm, because your phone’s plugged into the outlet. These longer cables are cheap, and they’re lifesavers — just swap it for your existing charger and enjoy being able to roll over, **ack your phone to shut it up, and go back to sleep. They’ll thank you every time they snooze.

Capture Clip DSL Mount

Price: $79.99

The Capture Clip is an alternative way to tote around your DSLR. Instead of a neck or shoulder strap, it’s a **all module you can clip onto your bag strap or belt, and then “holster” your camera directly on to it. It launched on Kickstarter originally, but it’s available for everybody now. It’s quite secure, but beware that the camera mount isn’t compatible with off-the-shelf tripods.

Old Calgary wool felt gadget cases

Price: Assorted

Old Calgary’s wool felt sleeves for your gadgets are handsome, protective, cozy… and even fire-proof. They’re a bit pricy, but are exactly the kinds of things you’ll want to get caught carrying to your local independent coffee shop.

Cara McGee’s Adagio teas

Price: $10 for 3oz

These fandom blends from Adagio aren’t your everyday cup of Earl Grey. Using characters from popular series like Game of Thrones, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Borderlands, The Avengers, and Sherlock, fans have blended collecti*** of deliciously nerdy teas. We personally recommend the Tardis Blend, Bilbo Brew, Bruce Banner, and #BelieveInSherlock from Cara McGee, though it’s worth exploring the whole site to find the perfect match. If you’re looking to give something both unique and thoughtful, you can also create and purchase your own blends. Tea solves all problems. It’s a fact.

My Keepon

Price: $64

I’ve been in love with the Keepon since 2007, when it danced to Spoon’s “I Turn My Camera On” and the more polished “Don’t You Evah” video. Keepon Pro robots are used to for therapeutic purposes and scientific research, but My Keepon is the “toy” version, with dance mode — and more importantly for some, it’s fully compatible with Arduino. It’s cute, it dances, it’s hackable, and a percentage of every purchase goes “to the distribution of Keepon Pro robots to researchers and practitioners in the field of auti**.”

Buddha Machine III

Price: $25

The Buddha Machine III is the connoisseur’s white-noise machine, with fans ranging from Brian Eno to Daft Punk. Of course, it’s more fun if you’ve got two or more, so you can play different pitch-wheel settings against each other. But at $25 a pop, that’s not too hard to manage.

Postalco Notebook

Price: $30

Writing in a notebook is a pretty anachronistic thing to do at this point, so we usually prefer ones that look like they dropped out of a Delorean, like this $30 Postalco model. It only seems expensive until you lay hands on the pressed cotton cover, which will age just like a great pair of jeans.

Adidas Originals Sennheiser CX 310s

Price: $69.95

For a long time, Sennheiser CX300s were the go-to recommendation for cheap (sub-$100) in-ear buds that sounded great. These CX310s go one better, but not just in model number — the tasteful "Adidas Originals" shade of blue is the perfect look for the winter.

Logitech wireless performance mouse MX

Price: $99.99

The world is moving in a touchscreen direction, but sometimes there’s nothing quite like having a mouse. We’re losing the subtle joys of spinning a scroll wheel through massive articles, mapping butt*** to repetitive tasks, or death gripping for epic Minecraft sessi***. Keep the dream alive with Logitech’s Wireless Performance Mouse MX, which is comfortable as can be and offers a solid mix of customizable butt***.

Leatherman New Wave Multitool

Price: $61.89

Some people like multitools for outdoorsy stuff. Not us. Whether you’re in a house in the country or a tiny studio in the city, you’ll be shocked how often you still need a screwdriver or boxcutter, or even need to strip or cut wires in a pinch. The Leatherman is **all enough to fit next to your keys, but sturdy enough that its knives, locked in place, makes cutting things open with your keys seem like a joke.

Bitcoins

Price: Assorted

Whether you think it’s a novelty or a revolution, the semi-anonymous digital cryptocurrency Bitcoin is fascinating. Bitcoins for Christmas makes it easy to set your loved ones up with a little Bitcoin investment of their very own, and the site will deliver festive instructi*** for how to redeem the coins. Especially good for geeks and Libertarians.
