6 Last Minute Tech And Gaming Gifts You Can Still Get Before Christmas

Santa’s working overtime I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you’ve got less than a week to get your gifts shipped in time for Christmas Day! There are only a scant handful of business days left till you get the dreaded “arrives after Christmas” message when you add something to your cart. While that’s happened for a of retailers already, there’s still Amazon, thankfully, plus at least one of my favorite accessory makers that are stepping up and ensuring you can still get good tech and gaming gifts in hand before the weekend. So before you resort to the dreaded gift card route, check out these gifts for just about anyone on your list.

Kindle Paperwhite Kindle Paperwhite In my house, we always make sure that we include books under the Christmas tree. But what about giving them the books? The latest Kindle Paperwhite from Amazon is their best e-reader yet. It’s waterproof, has a significantly longer battery life, USB-C charging, plus amber LEDs for better nighttime reading (that won’t mess with your sleep cycle).

The 8GB model with ads is $139 from . You can spend a little more to get more memory (though you probably don’t need it) or a fabric or leather cover (which you probably do). Nanoleaf 4D Nanoleaf’s 4D camera and lightstrip in action The Nanoleaf 4D is one of my .

This light strip and camera setup attaches to your TV and does an impressive job of mirroring the action on the screen with “4D” light effects. It’s especially cool to watch scenes with fire or candlelight in them and watching the wall behind your set flicker with the same light. It dials up the immersiveness more than any lighting product I’ve tried.

Plus, if you have other Nanoleaf products, you can sync them up to the 4D and have them mirror the lighting effects. It’s extremely cool. It’s $99 on for a 85-inch kit, $79 for a 65-inch kit.

The kits are adjustable, so you can easily trim it to fit your TV. Plenbo G-case Family Kit Plenbo G-case Kit The Plenbo G-case Family Kit might not roll off the tongue, but once you outfit your Nintendo Switch in this complete upgrade kit, you’ll forgive it for its unfortunate branding. The grip case has interchangeable grips, a modular backup battery (with two more in the kit), Joy-con holders, and, my favorite part, integrated Bluetooth so you don’t have to mess with wired headphones.

The set also comes with a portable dock and a hard case that keeps everything tight and secure, with plenty of room for game cartridges and memory cards. It adds bulk to the Switch but not in an obtrusive way. If you just want the grip case or the dock, you can purchase them separately for less.

The whole kit will set you back $229 on . Anker Nano Power Bank with Foldable USB-C Anker Foldable USB-C Power Bank Looking for something cheaper that will still be just as appreciated as the larger gifts? This Anker Nano Power Bank is perfect for anyone that’s sporting a new iPhone (or, y’know, any Android phone). The foldable USB-C port is hidden away till you need it, then delivers 22.

5W of fast charging. You can even charge a second device from the side port. It has a 5,000mAh capacity, so you’ll be able to charge an iPhone 15 to 80%.

I love the design, it’s considerably more portable than anything else I’ve used in recent memory. And at $29 on it won’t break the bank. Oral-B Series 10 Oral-B Series 10 Other than books, my family is always giving oral care products at Christmas-time.

Floss, toothbrushes, anything that can be packaged in a way to get the recipient excited until they realize it’s toothbrush. However, if you gift them the Oral-B Series 10, they’ll have a lot to legitimately get excited about. With powerful micro-vibrations, it does a fantastic job of getting your whole mouth clean, with pressure-sensitivity and an on-handle LED that lets you know when you’re brushing too hard or not hard enough.

It has seven different settings, so you can get exactly the brush that you need. Plus the Series 10 comes with an upgraded charging dock. Rather than be tied to an app (though you can use the app), you can check the dock at a glance to see where you’ve brushed sufficiently or need to apply a little more TLC.

Plus it displays the time when it’s not in operation, which is nice. This $399 package on comes with the Series 10, charging dock, multiple brush heads, and a travel charging case. Philips Sonicare 9900 Prestige Philips 9900 Prestige If you prefer your toothbrush oblong instead of circular, the Philips Sonicare 9900 Prestige is a fantastic alternative.

It has four brushing modes, plus a tongue care setting, pressure sensitivity (with LED feedback) that adapts in real time to your brushing motion. It’s app-enabled, so you can keep track of your brushing sessions. Plus it comes with Philips’ best brush head (which really is one of the nicest I’ve used in years).

The package includes an inductive charging dock and leatherette travel case that you can use to charge the brush with the included cable. Not that you’ll need to do it often. The battery is impressively long lasting.

It’s $299 on . Oura Ring Oura Ring Gen 3 Horizon in Brushed Titanium One of my favorite health and fitness devices of the last year, the Oura Ring, now comes in a stylish brushed titanium finish (to complement all your Apple devices). This svelte tracker keeps an eye on your activity throughout the day and your sleep patterns, breathing, and movement at night, plus blood oxygen and body temperature.

It lasts about five days between charges (though I did find that, after a year, I only got around three), so you’ll rarely have a day or night when you don’t have your biometrics tracked. Plus the app does an incredible job of parsing all that data into information you can use, letting you know when to take it easy, when to forge ahead, when you’re stressed out, and more. They’ve even partnered with Headspace to offer meditations and breathing exercises to help you wind down and get better sleep.

If you know your ring size, you can get the Oura Ring sent to your door before Christmas with expedited shipping. The ring starts at $299 on the (you can even use your HSA/FSA funds!). It’s $449 as pictured.

Nomad Goods Titanium Band Nomad Goods Titanium band for Apple Watch Ultra I’ve been told by the powers-that-be at Nomad Goods that Monday was actually the last day to guarantee Christmas shipping. Huge bummer on that but I’m keeping the Nomad Goods Titanium Band for Apple Watch Ultra on this list because it is . With a scratch-resistant carbon finish and magnetic clasp, it’s the perfect match to your Apple Watch Ultra.

Plus, the band doesn’t pinch like cheaper metal bands. It’s $300 at . Just print out a picture and they can have something to look forward to after Christmas is over.
