Year after year, cool Tech Gifts have more room in the sack of Santa Claus. We no longer speak only of video consoles or MP3, now the gadgets are objects of daily use and enjoy a model superior to the current or have what is fashionable has become a good excuse to give away some 'pileup' technology.
Consumer electronics has always been one of the most desired gifts, but fortunately, they no longer have to be the most expensive of the sack. Choosing properly the right device depends largely on knowing the tastes or needs of the person in question, as with almost everything. But often the offer is so overwhelming that it is difficult to find something surprising, useful and offering a guarantee of proper functioning.
In this list for Santa Claus you can find gifts of up to $500, but also devices that do not reach 80. There are robotic toys to have fun, there are also action cameras for the most creative, books for the most curious or monitors of activity for the most athletic, without forgetting the odd gadget to look.
Nor should we forget growing trends such as kitchen appliances, which help to prepare more spectacular and tasty dishes -for example the Anova low-temperature cooking system- or Thermomix type robots. The technology for the home, although it is something more impersonal, can be enjoyed by the whole family, so it is a wild card.

From multimedia systems that allow you to record a TV show while watching a series on Blu-Ray and download a documentary on your hard drive to watch it on a 4K screen with surround sound, up to domotic lighting control systems like the Philips Hue, which adapts colors depending on the mood of the user or outside time, or intelligent locks that monitor who enters the house and give permission from the mobile. Finally, tablets are also a good solution for those who do not have one yet.
