I'm no fashion expert (that's my wife), but I did my best in this week's Digital Savant column to pick 10 (actually 11, I bundled two items together) tech gifts you can't buy that don't look hideously ugly.
Yes, that’s kind of a low bar, but the truth is tech has gotten quite design-driven and you can find beautiful items in almost every category of tech product these days. So I narrowed it down to ones that look nice and aren’t too expensive. The priciest gift in the guide is $500 and I make it clear that’s a splurge item. Everything else in the guide ranges from $25 to about $300.
You can find the tech gift guide in Tuesday's print edition of the American-Statesman and on MyStatesman.com. Here's one bit from the piece:
Mophie Powerstation and CFDA Power Banks:Portable charging power on the go is essential if you live on your smartphone and use it all day. Mophie's always been a reliable brand for chargers, and its external battery packs are available in nine bright, metallic colors at $80 each. But there's an alternative so stylish I had to add it to this list. The Council of Fashion Designers of America has partnered with eBay to offer six $25 portable chargers from designers Badgley Mischka, Nicole Miller, Pamela Love, Suno, Thakoon and Trina Turk. They work with iOS and Android phones. (mophie.com; givingworks.ebay.com/council-of-fashion-designers-of-america)
