Christmas Gadget Gifts for the Whole Family!

Christmas is almost here! Still searching for gift ideas? Here are some gadget gifts for the whole family – Kids, Moms, & Dads!

It’s less than a week before Christmas!  Where did the time go? 

There are still some great deals out there. 

Whether you’re still searching for last-minute gifts for a family member or already planning what you’re going to do with your hopeful Christmas cash, here are some great ideas for kids, dads, and moms…

Gadget Gifts for Kids

STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) gadget gifts are fun learning toys for kids of all ages.

A great starter STEAM gift is a Sphero Mini Activity ball. Kids use a tablet to roll it and control it.  As kids grow, Sphero has lessons on how to control the ball through code.

The Let’s Start Coding Ultimate 2 Kit is a fun toolbox of LED lights, an LCD screen, sensors, Activity Cards, and more.  This fun kit teaches kids circuits as well as basic coding.

Got a budding engineer?  The Discovery Education Model Engine Kit is perfect.  Kids can build a battery-operated engine to see how pistons, a crankshaft, a fan, belts, spark plugs, and more work together to power a vehicle.

The Logitech Crayon is similar to the Apple Pencil, only it has a design easier for kids to handle.  Kids use the Crayon to draw, paint, make diagrams, take notes, and more on their 2018+ iPad.

Lastly, believe it or not, the Google Mini speaker is a great STEAM gift for kids of all ages. Kids can set times, get math help, ask Google questions on things they wonder about, ask science questions, and set an alarm to get up the next day!

See our STEAM Gift Ideas for Kids gift guide for more information on each gift. 

Gadget Gifts for Dads

Is Dad an entertainer? The Food Network Electric Corkscrew will be a hit.  It’s rechargeable and emits a blue light that makes it fun and interesting.  Will unscrew that cork within seconds.

If Dad needs to take a lot of data on the go with him (work documents, pictures, music), the WD My Passport 4 TB Hard Drive is just what he needs.  Also great for backing up the family PCs.

Does Dad love photography but often doesn’t have his SLR camera and lenses with him?  Give him a back-up plan with the OneClip Mobile Lens Clip for Phones, Tablets, & PCs.  He can clip it over his phone to obtain a wide shot, super wide shot, or macro shot.  He’ll love them.

Whether Dad is a camper or needs some extra light sometimes when changing a tire or un-tripping the circuit breakers, the luminAID PackLite Hero 2-in-1 Supercharger & LED Lantern is what he needs.  It folds down small but can be blown up to offer bright light and charge his phone at the same time.  Its solar panels can charge the lantern as well.

Just like the kids, Dad would appreciate his own grown-up version of a Google Assistant.  The Lenovo 7″ Smart Display with a 1024 x 600 resolution touch screen display, video camera, and two front-facing 1.5 in 5W speakers.  He can use it to ask Google questions, get driving directions, set alarms, play music, listen to the news, control his home smart devices and more.

Gadget Gifts for Moms

One of our favorite non-tech items for gadgets for Mom is this decorative CadesandBirch Handmade Personalized Unplug Wooden Box.  Great for housing the family’s phones and gadgets at dinner time, homework time, and movie time.  The box is beautifully crafted and even has a hole in the back so phones can charge while resting.  Clever.

Does Mom love her iPad?  This Logitech Slim Combo Case for 5th/6th generation iPads is a great addition to her favorite technology. It offers drop protection, a built-in kickstand, and a backlit LED keyboard.  Perfect for reviewing & writing emails, working on documents, and watching movies.  She’ll love it.

The Withings Smart Temporal Thermometer is the perfect gadget to help Mom keep track of her family’s health.  It can accurately detect the temperature and record it in the app for up to 8 family members.  With a swipe across the forehead, it couldn’t be easier. Great for keeping track of household sicknesses throughout the years.

Moms love pictures of their family.  Just think about all the photos she has on her phone?  The Nixplay Photo 9.7 inch Frame with its 2K display is a terrific way to show off her pictures while enjoying them herself.  They can be automatically sent from her Google Photos, Dropbox, Facebook, and Instagram accounts and controlled with the included remote control or via the app.  The whole family will appreciate this gift!

This last gift is sure to get Mom onto the dance floor…her family room dance floor that is.  The Just Dance 2020 game for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Google Stadia, just came out and offers 40 new tracks, some fun new moves, and some fun surprises.  Mom can dance with the whole family and/or amp up the fun at home social gatherings!
