O Christmas Tree Stand, O Christmas Tree Stand...
You don’t have to spend a fortune to buy nice tech gifts. There are joy and glad tidings to be had in reasonably priced gadgets, too. Leave it to David Pogue to sniff out 12 delightful and useful gifts.
The Fourth Day of Techness
Maybe this isn’t electronic technology, but it is technology—and some of the most useful you’ve ever seen.
It’s the Krinner Christmas Tree Genie XXL Christmas Tree Stand, the best Christmas tree stand ever made. People who buy it rhapsodize about it—how it keeps the peace, saves marriages, prevents fires. It accommodates a trunk up to 7 inches across. You just hold up the tree with one hand; as you pump the foot pedal, the jaws around the hole close in on the wood and until it’s clamped solidly in place.
At that point, a truck couldn’t knock your tree over. Even if the tree is top-heavy or side-heavy.
The tank holds 2.5 gallons of water.
When February rolls around, just flick the foot pedal upward to release the tree. Life-changing.
