Gift certificate
If you really cannot decide what gadget you think the techie you're buying a Christmas gift for would like, try picking up a gift certificate for his r her favorite store. It sounds uncaring, but it may just be better to allow the person to pick out the gift he wants rather than picking up something that would go unused.

Digital measuring tape
This is exactly what it sounds like – a measuring tape that records distances digitally and has the option of saving the last reading for ease of comparison.
New skin for iPad, iPod, personal reader or other devices
If the techie you are buying a present for already has an iPod, iPad, or other small personal device that could use a protective layer, consider buying a new skin for the electronic device. In particular, Moleskin ebook covers are particularly attractive for the Kindle.
Walkie talkies
Every electronics fan seems to love walkie talkies. It's a great, cheap stocking stuffer or gift for the technology lover out there.
Portable speakers
If the techie you're buying a gift for doesn't have a portable speaker, pick one up for an inexpensive present. Although the quality of these cannot compare to a traditional home-system, they are incredibly convenient, portable and are excellent at what they do for the size and price. Models are available for a wide range of prices, averaging between $15 and $200, so this could be either a cheap stocking stuffer or a primary present.Messenger Bag
Messenger bags are a great and fashionable way for your technology fan to carry all his or her electronics and gadgets while looking good. Some particularly well-known brands are Patagonia, Timbuk2 and Fossil.

This is a great present for anyone who has difficulty waking up, since they'll have to scramble about the room to rescue and turn off the alarm. The alarm clocks are available for the sleepy technology fan for between $39 and $69.
