‘Tis the season! The season of giving! And by “giving,” I mean the vibe this time of year is giving, “What in capitalism’s name do I buy for all of these freaks (my friends/family) for the holidays?”

For me, James Pero, a senior writer here at Gizmodo who specializes in audio, smart glasses, and pretty much any AR/VR/XR face ‘puter, my solution in this high-stress situation is obvious: everyone’s getting a gadget. (Oprah voice) You get a gadget, and you get a gadget, and you get a gadget! Because, whether they know it or not, everyone likes a toy, and some of the best ones happen to have silicon in them. But you can’t just pick any old gadget, because the last thing your loved ones need is another overglorified lithium-ion battery collecting dust in their home.

Instead, get them something cool; get them something useful; get them something that I, a man of self-described impeccable taste, would buy. Get them, I don’t know, something on this list you’re about to read.
