The right tech can make a life easier. Adding the wrong gadgets, on the other hand, become just another thing taking up space in the house. Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift for that tech-savvy guy in your life or you want to buy something for that tech-averse man who doesn’t yet know what he needs, these tech gifts for men are sure to satisfy even the most luddite guy in your life.
Ember Coffee Mug
There’s nothing worse than going for a sip of hot coffee and realizing it’s been left for too long and gone ice cold. Ember’s smart coffee mug keeps the coffee (or tea, or Hot Toddy, or whatever other liquid of choice) at a set temperature for up to 80 minutes, so you or your loved one never has to worry about microwaving that mug for the third time in one day.

Philips SmartSleep

Loftie Clock
Sure, there’s a clock on your phone. Maybe there’s even an old school analog clock on the wall. But it’s easy to take things to the next level with the Loftie. The Loftie acts as a smart assistant with a simple design centered on ensuring you have a restful night sleep. It connects to your smartphone as a bluetooth speaker, but the real beauty is its integrated gentle two-step alarm system, its white noise features, and the ability to put on a sound bath that can put even the most stressed sleeper to rest.
$150
AirPods Max
Regardless of whether your gift recipient is an Apple junkie or not, it’s hard to deny the slick beauty and seamless digital integration of Apple’s AirPods line-up. The Max is no different. An over-the-ear design with futuristic appeal and unbeatable quality in the AirPods line-up, this is a gift they’ll use all year round for Zoom meetings and gym sessions alike.
$550
Kindle Scribe
The latest version of the Kindle allows for a paper-like writing option that’s great for doodling, annotating, and journaling. It takes the standard Kindle everyone knows and brings it into full integration outside of just reading while still giving users a pretty barebones interface. It’s not an ereader. It’s not a tablet. It’s a Kindle. And the best one out on the market right now.
$340
Sonos Roam
Tech comes in all shapes and sizes, and this tiny thing hits way above its weight class in terms of quality and sound. About the size of a venti coffee, it’s compact but can deliver the sound of speakers twice its size. With a 10-hour battery life, voice control capability, and waterproof up to one meter of water, it’s ready to be used for any adventure your recipient has in mind.
$180
Nothing Phone (1)
If your tech-minded friend wants a phone that’s outside of the every day options seen glued to every other guy’s hands, look no further than the Nothing Phone (1). A futuristic body, this phone uses a Glyph Interface system, using light patterns on the back of the phone to communicate to the user. It runs on an Android system, making it a breeze to use for those already familiar with the operating system. Most notable is the spartan design, keeping the back open for all to see what’s under the hood and making it a truly unique phone on the market.
$470
Nebula Apollo Mini Projector
This small but mighty projector is fit for any home, backyard, or man cave. With its ultra-portable design (it clocks in at only 5.2 inches high) it can fit into any room and project up to 100 feet of screen against any wall in (or out) of one’s house. With Android 7.1 integration, users can download their favorite streaming apps and get cozy in no time.
$350
Courant Catch:3 Classic
Incredibly sleek, the rustic feel of this Italian leather catch-all tray betrays its tech-focused design. The flat surface uses a wireless charging function for a phone, AirPods, or watch while the beveled inlay can hold glasses, keys, or whatever else ends up cluttering the nightstand.
$100
Breo Tech Subscription Box
If one gift isn’t enough for the guy in your life, why not do multiple tech-focused gift boxes throughout the year? Breo sends recipients a new box every quarter filled with four or eight (depending on the plan) gadgets. Past boxes have included drones, projectors, cameras, and more. It’s a gift that, literally, keeps on giving.
