No, not some form of mobile communications but the Great Geek Gadget Gift Guide for Christmas. I was contemplating upgrading to 6G for this year but I will remain with 5G for the moment.
Drum roll please...
First up we have a Bluetooth tracker. Not a particularly exciting new development as these have been available for over a decade now but they are too big to use with a pair of glasses.
Enter the Dolphin Smart Spec Finder, a Bluetooth tracker for glasses that prevents the hassle of losing them. No more searching for lost glasses - this nifty Bluetooth tracker ensures your eyewear is always within reach.
Want to impress your friends with the ability to produce fireballs at will? Not sure if that is a skill I have always wanted but sometimes technology solves problems we didn't know existed.
If you think you like the idea of igniting your inner magician then you need the Pyro Mini Fireshooter. This wearable device allows you to shoot mesmerizing fireballs from your empty hands, creating an unforgettable spectacle.
Have someone more traditional in your life? What about a simple tape measure, with a dash of technology?
Step into the future of measuring with eTape16, a tape measure that looks like a traditional tape measure but with a digital readout that will automatically give you the distance measured on a digital screen without needing to read the tape measure itself. It gives measurements in imperial and metric, automatically calculates the centreline for you and remembers your last three measurements.
Christmas is a time when you have long tiring days and you need a good rest. So there is nothing worse than someone nearby who is snoring so loud that they are the only person who can sleep. Wearables are exploding across the planet so it is no surprise that there is a snoring solution.
Sleep Connection is a revolutionary wristband designed to combat snoring by employing intelligent technology. It detects snoring and delivers gentle sensory feedback to encourage a change in position, effectively halting the snoring.
Most of us have a keen golfer in our lives. Getting time on the course might be hard around Christmas so a golf simulator is what is needed. But not just any golf simulator.
The Rapsodo MLM2PRO Mobile Launch Monitor + Golf Simulator offers golfers a game-changing experience with precise shot tracking, advanced club and ball data analysis and access to over 30,000 virtual courses. Equipped with two advanced cameras and Doppler Radar, it provides video feedback and precise measurement for all golf shots with up to 13 metrics with every swing, including spin rate and spin axis.
If you have a constant traveller in your Christmas group this year, consider the ASG Bluetooth Wireless Laser Projection Virtual Keyboard.
This keyboard connects seamlessly via Bluetooth to a variety of devices and utilising infrared laser technology, it projects a full-sized keyboard onto any flat, opaque surface. It is small enough to travel with and gives you 120 minutes of battery life when in use.
Remember that the geek in your life is a person too and they love presents. This guide might make it just a bit easier to buy for them.
