Christmas Gift Guide For The Gadget Lovers In Your Life

Christmas is coming. It's the time of the year to go home to family and enjoy some warm conversations over a hot cup of chocolate in front of the fireplace. It's also the time when most people give each other gifts.

Those looking for a gift to give to their gadget-loving family member or friend might find it difficult to choose the many available devices out there. As such, the International Business Times prepared a quick guide on what to give to those who are fond of using gadgets. Here are some great gift ideas for this season:

For the one who has a hard time waking up

The Echo Dot with Clock is one of Amazon's Echo offerings and is powered by Alexa. TechCrunch says it's a bit more pricier compared to the low-cost Echo Dot but it comes with a built-in clock. Combined with the convenience of having a digital assistant, this nifty little gadget can wake people up and tell them the time in just a second.

For the coffee drinker

Those who love to sip on their coffee slowly know how bad it feels to sip on a lukewarm drink after a few hours. Thankfully, the Ember mug does away with that. The Ember is a “smart” coffee mug that keeps drinks warm or hot, based on the temperature level the user sets via a companion app. It's not as cheap as other mugs, but the smiles it will bring to serious coffee drinkers is priceless.

For those who love to listen to their music – and their music alone

Noise-canceling headphones usually cost more than a hundred dollars. Anker's noise-canceling headphones, however, doesn't. The Anker Soundcore Life Q20 has been engineered to cancel and reduce ambient noise by up to 90 percent, allowing its users to enjoy their music and conversations more. Best of all, it is very cheap at $60.

For those who find it hard to sleep

The Echo Dot with Clock helps people get up. The $129 Casper Glow Light, on the other hand, helps them sleep better. This lamp is small enough to fit in one hand, but packs enough technology to provide users with an environment conducive for sleep and waking up. It slowly dims the light at night to encourage sleep, and gently wakes users up with an alarm that slowly increases in loudness.
