My daily screen time average is, let’s say...generous. So I’ll be the first to admit that I love a good tech gadget. I’ll spare you the nerdy details, but—as I said earlier this year—it’s a digital world; we’re just living in it. And naturally, anyone you’re shopping for will want the latest and greatest tech gifts of 2023.
We’re at the end of the year, and no doubt you’re looking to the future. Well, there’s no reason to invest in what’s to come without insanely cool gadgets, right? Right. From stocking stuffers like must-have, influencer-approved cameras and phone accessories to gaming consoles, ultra-chic Bluetooth speakers—which make for great home décor gifts, by the way—and everything in between, the best tech gifts for women are not only practical or downright entertaining, but they’re also stylish as hell, too. (We certainly cannot factor out aesthetics!). I’ve personally tested most of these products, so you know these are the real deal. But in case you need further input, I asked my fellow tech lovers on the team for their go-to tech gift ideas. Scroll on to see them all below, and start shopping, stat.
Mini Portable Charger
In this day and age, everyone needs a little bit of extra juice every now and then. Make sure your giftee isn’t left high and dry when their battery’s running low with the help of this chic, pocket-friendly charger.
PowerShot G7 X Mark II
Perhaps you have a content creator on your hands. Well, look no further. Not only does this camera capture great photos and videos, but it also features built-in Wi-Fi, which allows files to be transferred straight from the camera to a smartphone or tablet.
Joy-Con
Available in lavender and mint along with baby pink and pale yellow, these Joy-Con controllers are the prettiest colors available yet for the Nintendo Switch and are a nice way to help your Nintendo fan friends (or self) give their system a chic little makeover.—Alyssa Bailey, senior news & strategy editor
Super Mario Bros.™ Wonder
Bundle your gift of Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons with the game of the moment: Super Mario Bros. Wonder. It’s a great game to play with friends and family who gather for the holidays—and besides, who wouldn’t want to play as elephant versions of their favorite Mario characters?
Pixel Tablet with Charging Speaker Dock
Whether you’re hunting down a new recipe or looking for an easy way to watch your favorite workout videos, Google’s Pixel Tablet makes moving from one activity to the next seamless. Plus, the charging speaker doc will keep your tablet on full display and play your best playlists with quality sound. After my laptop, this has become the most-used device in my home.
Surface Laptop Studio 2
Grace that budding artist in your life with the gift of new technology in the form of Microsoft’s new Surface Laptop Studio 2—a unique and powerful 2-in-1 laptop. Hands down, this is a fantastic gift for college students. The laptop isn’t just a great way for them to take notes, draw illustrations, or get into animation—it’s also powerful enough to handle gaming. What more could they want?
Beosound Emerge Compact WiFi Home Speaker
You might need to do a double take when you see this slim speaker in someone’s home (perhaps even your own?). Featuring all the tech that B&O is known for, this will be the perfect addition to a bookshelf, a console, or anywhere else for the design-forward audiophile.
65-In. Class The Frame Series Smart TV
A chic TV? Say less. With its sleek customizable bezels, The Frame from Samsung seamlessly blends into your gallery wall, while also displaying your favorite shows and movies in QLED 4K resolution. When you’re not binge-watching, Art Mode transforms the screen into your favorite artwork. Sizes range from 33 inches to 85 inches.—Erica Gonzales, senior culture editor
Studio Buds +
When you don’t want to wear a pair of over-the-ear headphones, these Studio Buds + will be the thing to pull out of your pockets every time you want to listen to a podcast, an audiobook, or music. (Be sure to get them while they’re on sale!)
Kindle Paperwhite (16 GB)
No one can deny that a Kindle is a great gift for book lovers. And as much as one may love having physical books around, there’s nothing quite like the ease of carrying multiple books in the small, compact form of an e-reader.
Series S
Trust, this will get a lot of play. Combine this gift with games, accessories, and the whole shebang for a holiday activity they won’t forget. (I suggest some extra controllers so you can get in on the fun, too.)
SnapGrip - Mobile Battery Grip with Wireless Shutter Button
“We all know about selfie sticks, but beginner-friendly photography equipment is more necessary than ever. While my favorite at-home setup might be the Canvas Lamp, my go-to for on-to-go photos and video are the SnapGrip Creator Kit tools, which include a lightweight tripod that fits in your purse, a ring light, and a snap-on digital camera-like power bank (that pulls triple duty as a grip and stand, too). All the tools operate with MagSafe tech, meaning they clip to a steady magnet you can attach to your phone. I love the power bank—which features a Bluetooth-compatible shutter button—for when I want to take more cinematic-style images, and the tripod makes capturing the best angles easier than ever.”—Lauren Puckett-Pope, culture writer
White and Color Ambiance LED Smart Bulbs
Maybe you live in an apartment and aren’t quite ready to fulfill that smart home life. No worries; let these be your entry point. Set the bulbs up so you can create the perfect personalized ambiance (with one of the many colors or not!) with the convenience of your command when you hook this up to Alexa, Google Assistant, or an Apple Homekit. And if you don’t have one of those, you can always use the app on your phone.
Zeppelin McLaren Edition
“The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin speaker is renowned for its high-performance wireless sound and iconic styling. Match these features with a special-edition design celebrating the 60th anniversary of supercar manufacturer McLaren Automotives, and you have luxury on so many levels. Plus, everything looks good in McLaren orange.”—Jeffrey Ingledue, deputy managing editor
Galaxy Z Flip 5 Cell Phone
Besides the novelty of a futuristic flip phone, there are a lot of reasons to love this mint-hued cell from Samsung. For one, it makes taking selfies a whole lot easier with the front-facing camera—all you have to do is wave to the phone, let it register your palm, and wait for the snap.
AirPods Max
Powerful (and wearable) tech and a fashion accessory. I need not say any more.
White Original Lamp with Classic Wooden Base
“I’ve tried a number of different tripod configurations to accomplish my middling-but-improving video skills, and the one I’ve liked best so far is the Canvas Lamp, which serves as a desk lamp and tripod in one. Its built-in phone holder and light attach to your workspace and can be twisted into all sorts of angles, which allows you to film yourself, your space, or whatever you’re working on without having to set up a new tripod angle every time you need to adjust your frame.”—Lauren Puckett-Pope, culture writer
Silicone Suction Phone Case Adhesive Mount
I’ve seen this suction cup adhesive mount on the phones of influencers everywhere, which is telling me that this is the tech accessory for all the burgeoning TikTokers, selfie-takers, and vloggers on your shopping list.
Persimmon Beaded Wrist Strap
Phone charms and phone straps aren’t going away anytime soon, and this pretty number from Ossa is bound to get you endless compliments.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate — Ultimate 1 Month
Turns out, you don’t need a gaming console to enjoy endless hours of playtime, thanks to Xbox’s Game Pass Ultimate. Think of Game Pass as the Netflix for games—whether your giftee already has an Xbox or a PC, they can play anywhere, any time.
Mini+ Starter Kit
Sometimes, skin care goes beyond your favorite cleanser, toner, and moisturizer; it can include microcurrents, too. This NuFace Starter Kit—which features a NuFace Mini and the necessary products to go with it—is just what your special someone needs to give his or her face a nice lift and tone.
Pebble 2 Combo - Wireless Keyboard Mouse
“My at-home work setup has been long overdue for an upgrade. I’m always trying to combat tech neck, and know that using a laptop riser really helps with that. But with a riser, you really need a keyboard and mouse. Enter this set from Logitech. I’m completely obsessed. It’s so easy to use and, better yet, it’s affordable.”—Meg Donohue, associate fashion commerce editor
Roam
Everyone loves a good playlist. Sonos’ bestselling Roam speaker makes controlling the soundtrack easier than ever. It works as a standard Bluetooth portable speaker (one that’s voice-controlled!), but when connected to Wi-Fi, it’ll function with Apple AirPlay 2, Google Assistant, or Amazon Alexa, and will pair with other Sonos speakers to have music circulating all around your home.
Premium Standing Desk (E7)
After spending an ungodly number of hours slumped and sinking into my office chair, I finally caved and got myself a standing desk—and I’ve never looked back. If you have someone special in your life who’s been burning the midnight oil working from home, this is sure to be a worthy gift that they won’t forget.
Ring Gen3
Wellness is all the rage these days—and what better way to embrace commitments to a better lifestyle than with something that doesn’t scream “tech“? The Oura Ring Gen3 will track your sleep and recovery—two of the most important things for your health.
Restore
Gone are the days of waking up to that standard trill of your phone’s alarm. The Hatch Restore features a variety of lighting options, virtually endless sounds to fall asleep and wake up to, and exclusive channels for meditations, stories, and soundscapes.
Pixel Watch 2
There are a lot of smartwatches out there, but if you’re an Android user, few compare to Google’s new Pixel Watch. It’s sleek, comfortable, and does all the things—but the standout features would be the reliable tracking for fitness and heart rate, making it a great gift for the workout fanatics on your list.
Ivy 2 Mini Photo Printer
While one’s camera roll boasts endless memory to keep hundreds of photos safe and sound, there’s nothing quite like having a picture printed out and posted up somewhere to be seen. And this pocket printer is perfect for the one who wants to record the best memories while on the move.
Poly Studio P5 USB-A Webcam TAA
Sure, one could always use the camera built into their laptop. But if you’re hoping to up your Zoom game or you have a desktop monitor without a camera, this external webcam will give your video calls the boost they need.
360° Dog Camera
For the pet lovers out there? I suggest this nifty camera, which will let them keep an eye on their fur babies—and offer up a treat thanks to a handy dispenser.
Yoga Book Dual Screen OLED Touch Laptop
No, it’s not the only laptop on this list, but it is the only laptop with two screens. Use this as a double-screened tablet or get an added keyboard to use it as a more travel dual-screen monitor.
AirTag 4 Pack
So maybe you’re in need of a tech gift under $100. Apple’s AirTags are a useful (and thoughtful) gift anyone can appreciate.

You already know that whoever receives this gift will be forever thankful that you love them enough to get them a Dyson Airwrap.

Carrying a laptop with a playful, protective covering? Now that’s a gift idea I can get behind.

Did I get this for my dad last year? Yes. Did he stand around our family living room playing Beat Saber for the entirety of my holiday visit? Also yes.
4-in-1 Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand
With a perfect five-star rating based on over 800 views, there’s no doubt this will be a great gift for anyone. This wand will depuff your skin while also lifting and smoothing it—and leave you with a glow, too.

For anyone who loves the look and feel of using a pen and paper but hates having to buy and organize notebooks upon notebooks, this is a great alternative—and you can transfer your handwritten notes straight to your laptop.

We take many photos these days—but not all of them are printed. Why not showcase a rotation of favorites with a digital picture frame? And to make it an even more personalized gift, be sure to fill it with photos of you and the recipient.

I’m not quite sure what type of magic is going on inside this little gadget, but I will say it never ceases to amaze me that I can take photos from my phone and turn them into full-blown Polaroid snaps.
