The holiday season is coming up and The Drill Down would like you to be ready for it. So as we do every year around this time, we’ve prepared a list of what we consider the perfect gifts to give… and get this holiday. So before you stand around for hours this Black Friday, spend some time with us.
$140. Kindle Paperwhite – Amazon delivers a true upgrade. They claim the same 8 weeks of battery life with kindles signature e-ink and some great, great extras. What’s even better? The special offers version is $119.
$80. Fitbit Ultra/Fitbit 1 – for a friend you’re close enough to know they won’t be embarrassed
$150. iPod Nano – Got someone you know that likes to work out but you don’t know them enough to spend a CHUNK of change on? This is your best bet.
$10-25 Amazon gift card. Yeah– it’s not exactly tech, but any techie you know completely understands it’s value. You’re saying that you want them to get $10-25 closer to purchasing something awesome. And that, my friends, will be appreciated.
Geeks Of Doom’s The Drill Down is a roundtable-style audio podcast where we discuss the most important issues of the week, in tech and on the web and how they affect us all.
