The world of technology is always evolving. Thankfully, here at Road & Track we (try to) keep up with the bleeding edge as much as we (try to) keep up with our oil changes. Whether you're planning for an upcoming birthday or hoping to surprise someone special come the holiday season, we've rounded up a collection of the best bits of technology to help make your journey a little easier.

Whether he's an early adopter itching to try the newest tech or a pragmatist looking for devices that genuinely make life easier, we've got you covered. Our selection is about functionality meeting the cool factor—without any unnecessary frills.

Car Cam

Ring's Car Cam brings to automobiles the same innovation and smart technology that made its home security products a staple in households. With Amazon Alexa and integration with home networks, the Car Cam stands out in the crowded dashcam market.

The Car Cam boasts dual-facing HD cameras that integrate with the Ring app for real-time alerts and footage access. The unit slips snugly between the windshield and dashboard and draws power from the vehicle's OBD-II port. An optional Ring Protect Go subscription offers additional features like two-way talk, LTE-enabled live remote viewing, and cloud storage for recordings. Even without a subscription, though, the Car Cam functions like a standard dash cam. If you know a guy who always needs the latest and greatest of everything, here's the perfect gift idea.

Watch Ultra 2

With a durable 49-mm titanium shell, the new(ish) Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the perfect watch for the modern adventurous man who likes to stay connected. It features the brightest display Apple has ever made for any device, with an Always-On Retina display to deliver outstanding clarity in all conditions, even transitioning automatically to Night Mode when the sun drops behind the horizon. The Ultra 2 also features a customizable Action button, dual-frequency GPS, and a battery life that spans days.

Whether you're shopping for an adventurer who needs the most capable and robust smartwatch on the market or simply an average Joe who craves the latest tech, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the gifting move that can't lose.

Ninebot MAX G2 Electric KickScooter

When you see "EV," you're likely thinking of a four-wheeled vehicle. But a more practical EV for urban dwellers and suburban commuters might be this Segway Ninebot KickScooter Max G2. It's a midrange electric scooter (yes, it's designed for adults) that's capable of up to 22 mph and an estimated 43 miles of travel on a single charge.

The scooter features 10-inch pneumatic tires, dual front (drum) and rear (electronic) brakes, and cruise control. Segway's Full-on Suspension System features a front hydraulic damper and double-spring suspension at the rear for a smooth ride. The MAX G2 even has anti-skid traction control and a screen for viewing distance and battery information, and it connects with an app on your mobile device for adjusting settings and keeping tabs on charge remotely. It even works with Apple's Find My, and of course the handlebar folds down for easy storage and carrying. It's not cheap, true—but for the guy who has everything? It's a great gift.

M5 3D Printer

Guys who love tech and gadgets as well as cars will have a ball with this gift. While 3D printing might still be considered a novelty of sorts, it has plenty of functional purposes for car enthusiasts. Not only can you print third-party tools and trinkets found on Printables or Thingiverse, but some manufacturers such as Ford offer 3D files of accessories for cars.

Anker is relatively new to the world of 3D printing, but its AnkerMake M5 is a respectable midrange option that's relatively easy to use. It offers impressive printing resolution and has built-in features such as error detection, wireless connectivity, and automatic leveling to ensure every print starts out perfectly.

Mini 4 Pro Fly More Drone Combo

What gearhead wouldn't love to find a drone under their holiday tree? DJI's Mini 4 Pro is packed full of impressive imaging capabilities and innovative navigation features. The 249-gram weight of the unit means the device is just under the Federal Aviation Administration's 250-gram limit for registering your drone in the United States, significantly reducing the barriers to entry other drones require. The Mini 4 Pro captures 4K video at up to 100 frames per second (fps) or 4K/60 fps with HDR video. I use this drone and have captured video in Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) or DJI's 10-bit D-Log M color profile, both of which increase the flexibility of the video files in postproduction.

The unit is rated for roughly 12 miles of transmission between the drone and the included remote, ensuring even congested areas or flying within valleys/hills won't impact your ability to record video or snap photos. Other features include 360-degree obstacle-avoidance sensors, a plethora of automated capture modes capable of locking in on and tracking subjects, and a 34-minute flight time with the included batteries.

WF-1000XM5 Noise-canceling Earbuds

Not all stocking stuffers need to be trinkets. The WF-1000XM5 noise-canceling earbuds feature Sony's industry-leading noise-canceling technology and intuitive touch controls for effortless management of soundtracks and calls. A long-lasting battery provides all-day listening (eight hours of constant listening and up to 24 hours if you count the included charging case).

The WF-1000XM5s are perfect whether your favorite guy is behind the wheel, in the office, or at the gym. They're available in black and copper or silver and gold colorways, and yes, the universal-fit box drops effortlessly into most standard-size stockings.

Electric Precision Screwdriver Kit Pro

The Hoto Tools Precision Screwdriver Kit Pro is a wonderful gift for any DIY aficionado or professional. The screwdriver uses a two-gear design to provide more than enough torque for delicate builds or repairs. It also features built-in LED lights and an innovative contact charging case that stores the drill and its accessories, ensuring power is always topped off when needed.

This kit isn't just about looks—it's about substance, with 48 bits forged from S2 steel, complemented by a suite of practical tools like spudgers, tweezers, and a suction cup for those tricky parts. The electric screwdriver's adjustable torque and handy magnetizer/demagnetizer tool help to ensure no small bits and pieces go missing. Whether you're a tech enthusiast or a creative tinkerer, the Hoto Tools kit provides practicality and precision in a compact, stylish package.

Ode Brew Coffee Grinder

Listen, your favorite dude might think the drip coffee he's making with pre-ground coffee is good. But he hasn't yet seen the light. Nothing, absolutely nothing, will impact the quality of his coffee more than fresh beans ground in a properly calibrated burr grinder (as opposed to those spinning-blade grinders we grew up with). The Fellow Ode Brew Grinder is here to change his life.

Not only does it look as beautiful as its resulting brews taste, it also performs as well as you'd hope a $200 grinder would. It has 31 settings for its 64-mm burrs, making it easy to dial in just the right size for drip, French press, cold brew, and pour-over brewing methods. It comes with a convenient grounds catcher to prevent coffee grounds from ending up on your countertop and pairs beautifully with one of Fellow's Carter mugs, which are our go-to travel mugs for coffee connoisseurs. If you're buying for a coffee-loving guy, you'll be his holiday hero with this gift.

Note: A second-generation Ode Grinder is now available directly from Fellow.

Boost Plus GB40 Jump Starter

This supremely portable lithium battery jump-starter pack is rated at 1000 amps and is capable of reviving a dead battery in seconds. It's suitable for gasoline engines up to six liters and diesel engines up to three liters, making it versatile for a variety of vehicles. In our testing, it had no problem jump-starting the very-dead battery of a decrepit Mitsubishi Eclipse. For all these reasons, the NOCO Boost Plus GB40 makes a perfect gift for any driver.

The GB40 features spark-proof technology and reverse polarity protection, which allows it to connect to any battery safely. The inclusion of a 100-lumen LED flashlight with seven light modes enhances visibility in low-light conditions.

MoGo 2 Pro 1080P Portable Projector

Sure, his phone can play videos and movies on the go. But what to do when friends and family also want to watch?

This powerful little projector can go anywhere. It has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, as well as stereo speakers, a 700-lumen lamp capable of projecting up to a 200-inch image, and a built-in battery that should power the device for up to 2.5 hours. Better still, it's powered by Android TV, meaning you can easily install Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Max, and other streaming services. Best of all, there's an HDMI input port for hooking up gaming consoles and laptops. Campfires are about to get a whole lot more fun.

K4 Compact Bluetooth Mechanical Keyboard

Cars and keyboards aren't typically overlapping product categories, but I can't help but draw the parallels between a quality ride and a glorious typing experience. Keychron keyboards work equally well with MacOS and Windows computer systems, as well as both Android and iOS/iPadOS mobile devices.

A full-size keyboard with a compact design, the Keychron K4 includes nearly every key and number he'll need, and it works wirelessly over Bluetooth or USB-C. The unit comes with countless options and configurations in lighting and key styles. Which variation he'll prefer is subjective, but regardless of which one he gets, your favorite tech-y guy will experience a massive improvement in performance and user interface compared to whatever keyboard he's currently using.

The Terrace QLED 4K UHD Outdoor Smart TV

Sure, your guy can sit on the porch and enjoy all the scents, sounds, and views nature has to offer. But what's the point if he can't keep up with the latest F1 race or big game? Enter Samsung's The Terrace, an outdoor QLED (Quantum LED) 4K television designed to ensure he can watch all of his favorite events outdoors. The Terrace is IP56 rated, which means it can handle nearly any weather Mother Nature can throw its way, and it has a maximum brightness of over 2000 nits, ensuring even in full sun he should have no problem keeping up with every lap or touchdown. It looks just as great poolside as it does mounted on an outdoor wall, and it has Samsung's Tizen smart TV operating system for installing and using apps and streaming services.

The unit is available in three sizes—55 inches, 65 inches, and 75 inches—and is pretty much ready to go out of the box with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.

Heated Travel Mug 2+

Any guy who spends mornings behind the wheel is gonna love this gift. The Ember Travel Mug 2+ features a built-in heating element on the bottom to keep coffee at the perfect temperature for hours at a time. Better still, charging the mug is as simple as keeping it atop the included charging base; as long as he's at his desk, his Joe will stay between 120 and 145 degrees Fahrenheit all day long. So it's ideal for both commuters and road trippers.

While there's an on-mug interface for controlling the heat of the coffee, the mug can also be paired with Ember's mobile app for an even more refined experience.

OneTap Pro 3 Phone Mount

Talk about the perfect stocking stuffer. There's no shortage of charging phone mounts on the market, but few are as clean and well designed as the Spigen OneTap Pro 3. It's a perfect blend of form and function, and it's easily one of our favorite phone mount/charger combos.

Designed specifically to work with Apple's MagSafe-compatible iPhone 12 and later, it conveniently holds your phone via built-in magnets while simultaneously charging it wirelessly at up to 15 watts (the exact power will vary based on your phone model). The unit is adjustable so you can place it in just the right location within the cabin, and the built-in DC car plug is long enough that you shouldn't have any issue connecting the unit to an in-car power supply.

Steam Deck

Valve's Steam Deck wasn't the first mobile console capable of playing PC-level games, but it was the first to seamlessly integrate with Valve's Steam library. This portable powerhouse lets gamers take their entire library on the go using a custom chipset optimized for handheld gaming on a seven-inch touchscreen.

The unit features an array of familiar joysticks, buttons, and triggers, as well as two touchpads and dedicated buttons for menus and the Steam Store. It is available starting at 64GB of internal storage, but we suggest starting with at least the 256GB option, if not the 512GB model, due to the massive file size of most modern games.

While it shines as a handheld unit, it can also be plugged in to an external display and used to play as you would on a much larger gaming computer or console.

Solix C1000 Portable Power Station

The Anker Solix C1000 power station is the perfect gift to ensure he always has enough power on the go. Its capacity, charging speed, and compact size make it a great option for weekend trips, camping adventures, tailgating, and more.

The unit features 11 total ports, including two USB-A, two USB-C, six AC wall plugs, and one DC car port. It features a LiFePO battery rated for 3000 cycles that can charge from zero to 100 percent in less than an hour. Other features include an integrated ambient LED light, UPS functionality with a sub-20-millisecond switchover, and support for Anker's smartphone app. If your guy spends a lot of time in the garage or workshop, this little dynamo will be a lifesaver.

Sonicare Power Flosser 5000

The Philips Sonicare Power Flosser 5000 takes the hassle out of flossing with whisper-quiet operation. According to Philips, this flosser is 180 percent more effective than manual flossing. Its four X-shaped water streams work effortlessly, offering a far deeper and more thorough clean than traditional floss alone can offer.

It comes with two flossing modes and 10 intensity settings. He can even switch between the standard nozzle for a focused stream and the Quad Stream nozzle for extensive coverage along gums and teeth. Filling the tank is a breeze, and the unit automatically powers down upon placing the flosser back on the magnetic dock.

It's certainly a luxury, but one he'll wonder how he lived without.

BD310 OBD-II Vehicle Diagnostic Scanner

The Ancel BD310 was the Gear Team's choice as the Best OBD-II Scanner for DIY Use. The BD310 is quick to connect and display codes, providing many of the perks of more expensive scanners while staying affordable. Your favorite tech nerd can diagnose his own car issues via the corded interface or connect it via Bluetooth and use the free Ancel app to access more data, diagnostic resources, and performance testing.

During testing, we loved the scanner's happy medium between corded and Bluetooth and felt the app's interface was excellent. The perfect gift for the man who likes to know what's going on all the time.

Pod 3 Heating/Cooling Mattress Cover

Depending on your situation, here's a gift that might benefit you too. The Eight Sleep Pod 3 Cover is a high-tech solution for sleep optimization, and while it's not cheap its benefits are priceless. It uses a custom mattress cover and an accompanying temperature-control system to pump water throughout the cover, keeping the sleeping surface at a comfortable temp all night long.

Beyond its ability to regulate bed temperature, it works alongside the accompanying app to track sleep patterns and integrate with smart home systems. While the need for a subscription to unlock all these features may not appeal to all potential buyers, the data-driven insights and the potential health benefits of improved sleep could justify the cost for those who want the best sleep at any cost.

The Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra Razor

Manscaped's Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra is designed for precision grooming in the most delicate of areas. Equipped with a sophisticated dual-head system, this waterproof groin groomer delivers a customizable experience that allows him to confidently trim, shave, and, er, manscape. The unit even has a dual-LED spotlight, perfect for where the sun don't shine.

The 700-mAh li-ion battery boasts a 60-minute runtime, and it can be charged either wirelessly or via USB-C. When it's time to travel, your man can engage the travel lock to prevent unexpected buzzing in his luggage, avoiding an embarrassing back-room pat-down from the TSA.

Stream Deck +

The Elgato Stream Deck + is a clever computer peripheral that helps to streamline workflows using an array of buttons, dials, and an integrated display. The unit features eight customizable buttons with a display behind each one, as well as four customizable dials that can precisely adjust parameters for your computer, specific editing software, or streaming studio programs.

While the device itself is impressive, the real magic comes with the accompanying software, which lets you adjust the buttons and dials to fit your needs. Some may find the initial setup requires a learning curve, but the potential for enhancing workflow and productivity in content creation is incredible once you've invested a bit of time in setting it all up.
