Shopping for the person who already owns every gadget is tricky. The secret is to skip the big-ticket items and go for the small, practical upgrades they'd never think to buy for themselves.
Every pick here is small enough for a stocking, useful enough to get used all year, and a safe bet even if you're not a tech person yourself.
In this guide
- Apple AirTag (2nd Generation)
- Tile Mate Bluetooth Tracker
- Anker Nano 30W USB-C Charger
- Anker Prime Power Bank (20K)
- iFixit Moray Precision Driver Kit
- VELCRO Brand ONE-WRAP Cable Ties

1. Apple AirTag (2nd Generation)
Best for: iPhone users who lose things
Clip it to keys, slip it in a bag, or toss it in luggage, and it shows up in the Find My app on an iPhone. The newest AirTag has a louder speaker and can guide you to an item from farther away.
It's a small gift that saves a lot of frantic searching. For someone with an Android phone, see the Tile Mate below.
What people like:
- Louder speaker than the first AirTag
- Precision Finding works from farther away
- Replaceable battery lasts about a year
Worth knowing:
- iPhone only
- No keyring hole, so you'll want a holder or keychain
- Longest-range finding needs a newer iPhone
2. Tile Mate Bluetooth Tracker
Best for: Android users (and iPhone too)
Tile works with both Android and iPhone, so it's the safe choice if you're not sure what phone someone has. Attach it to keys or a wallet and ring it from the Tile app.
The button on the Tile works in reverse too: press it to make a misplaced phone ring.
What people like:
- Works with both iPhone and Android
- Press the Tile to ring a lost phone, even on silent
- Free SOS alert feature in the Life360 app
Worth knowing:
- Battery isn't replaceable (lasts about three years)
- Less precise than AirTag for pinpointing
- Some features need a paid plan
3. Anker Nano 30W USB-C Charger
Best for: Replacing slow, bulky chargers
A tiny wall charger with foldable prongs that fast-charges iPhones, Galaxy phones, and iPads, and can even charge a MacBook Air. It is a fraction of the size of older charging bricks, which makes it perfect for travel bags and nightstands.
Most people are still using whatever slow charger came with an old phone, which makes this an upgrade they will notice right away.
What people like:
- Very small, with prongs that fold flat for travel
- Full-speed charging for most phones, plus iPads
- Strong enough to charge a MacBook Air
- Built-in temperature monitoring
Worth knowing:
- Only one port, so it charges one device at a time
- Cable not included
- Charges bigger laptops slowly
4. Anker Prime Power Bank (20K)
Best for: Charging phones and laptops on the go
A high-powered battery pack that can charge a phone several times over, and even fast-charge a laptop. It has three ports, so it can top up a phone, tablet, and earbuds at the same time, and it is approved for carry-on luggage.
It is the splurge pick on this list: perfect for frequent travelers, students who work from coffee shops, or anyone whose laptop always dies at the wrong moment.
What people like:
- Powerful enough to fast-charge most laptops
- Three ports for charging several devices at once
- Recharges itself quickly
- Includes a high-power USB-C cable and a travel pouch
Worth knowing:
- Heavier and bigger than pocket-size power banks
- More power than needed if they only charge a phone
- A pricier stocking stuffer
5. iFixit Moray Precision Driver Kit
Best for: Fixing small electronics
A compact screwdriver set with precision bits for glasses, game controllers, laptops, and other small electronics. It comes in a neat little case that's easy to keep in a drawer.
It's a great pick for tinkerers, and handy for anyone who's ever needed a tiny screwdriver and couldn't find one.
What people like:
- Covers phones, consoles, laptops, and glasses
- Compact case for a drawer or bag
- Backed by iFixit's lifetime warranty
Worth knowing:
- Bit magnets are on the weak side
- Plastic handle rather than metal
6. VELCRO Brand ONE-WRAP Cable Ties
Best for: Messy desks and cords
Reusable straps that wrap around charging cables, headphone cords, and the tangle behind the TV. Cut them to length and they stick to themselves, so there's no adhesive on furniture.
It's an inexpensive way to make any setup instantly look cleaner.
What people like:
- Reusable, so no cutting when you add a cable
- Gentle on cords
- Useful for packing and travel too
Worth knowing:
- Not for permanent or heavy-duty bundles
- The hook side grabs lint and fabric
7. Lamicall Height-Adjustable Phone Stand
Best for: Video calls and recipes
A sturdy desk stand that raises a phone to a comfortable eye level for video calls, watching shows, or following a recipe in the kitchen. Both the height and the angle adjust, so it works sitting at a desk or standing at the counter.
It fits almost any phone, even in a case, and also holds small tablets like an iPad mini.
What people like:
- Adjustable height and tilt for eye-level viewing
- Weighted metal base that does not tip easily
- Works with phones in most cases, plus small tablets
- Padded hooks protect the phone from scratches
Worth knowing:
- Ring holders, grips, and wallet cases may not fit
- Larger tablets need to sit sideways
- Made for a desk or counter rather than travel
8. Rocketbook Flex Reusable Planner
Best for: Planners who like paper
A paper planner that never runs out. It has daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly pages, plus lined and dotted pages for notes. Write with the included pen, scan the pages with the Rocketbook app to save them to Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneNote, then wipe them clean with a damp towel and use them again.
It is a clever gift for students and anyone who still prefers to plan on paper but wants a digital backup.
What people like:
- Reusable pages, so one planner lasts for years
- Daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly layouts in one book
- Scans to the cloud with the free app
- Pen included
Worth knowing:
- Needs Pilot FriXion pens (regular pens can stain the pages)
- The ink can fade in high heat, like a hot car
- Letter size is big for a stocking (a smaller Executive size also exists)
