As the holiday season approaches,

many consumers have begun to

contemplate that age-old annual

question: What gifts should I buy?

If a particular recipient is known to

have an affection for electronic

devices, it’s only natural to search

through the latest offerings from

today’s leading high-tech companies

for a suitable present.

With this holiday mission in mind,

let’s take a look at the trendiest

tech products available on the

market.

Arguably the #1 tech release of 2014, the

iPhone 6 has already racked up millions of

purchases, and it will no doubt be a popular

gift item during the holiday season.

This smartphone features a number of bells

and whistles for today’s on-the-go

consumer: Retina HD display, A8 chip, M8

motion coprocessor, improved LTE

download speeds, enhanced WiFi options,

and Touch ID security technology.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are

currently available.

Stylish and high-tech, Google Glass is

eyewear for the 21th century. Glass

enhances a variety of everyday

experiences, enabling wearers to take

photos, record video, view a high-

resolution display, utilize voice

commands, access 12GB of data storage,

and more.

Several frame designs are available, as

well as prescription lenses.

Audiophiles are a notoriously hard-to-please

bunch, but Bose QuietComfort 25 headphones

have won widespread raves.

Comfortable to wear, these headphones boast

clear sound quality and excellent noise-

cancelling capabilities. These sets are sure to

find their way under many Christmas trees.

Every techie has to deal with

tangled wires, which is why

Applecores have garnered

attention as an ingenious

solution to this problem.

Shaped like apple cores,

these soft rubber devices

allow users to wrap cords and

wires around the center. An

Applecore provides a simple

way to prevent those

annoying knotted nests from

forming under the desk.

Developed by an MIT student, Clocky is an

alarm clock with wheels.

After the user presses the snooze button,

the device literally rolls out of reach in a

randomly determined pattern, forcing the

sleeper to get out of bed to shut it off. It’s a

surprisingly effective way to prevent

oversleeping.

With literally millions of

streamable songs in its

catalog, Spotify provides

perfect aural company for

people who spend long hours

at the computer.

Spotify can also be accessed

via Android, BlackBerry,

Windows Mobile, TiVo, and a

host of other platforms.

Spotify gift cards provide the

recipient with one to twelve

months of access to this

streaming music service.

Ever found yourself worrying if you left

the lights on back home? The WiFi-

enabled WeMo® Light Switch solves this

all-too-common problem.

This easy-to-install light switch can be

operated remotely via an app

compatible with the Android tablet or

smartphone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPhone.

The user is able to turn the switch on

and off with just the press of a button—

even when they’re miles away.

The Acer Aspire S7 has earned a rep as a

handy, lightweight, yet powerful laptop.

With an WQHD touch display and auto-

illuminating keyboard, this device provides

a visually attractive environment.

It also supplies eight hours of battery life,

which lets users work without interruption

wherever they go.

The Aspire S7 has won a variety of

international honors, including the 2014

Taiwan Excellence Gold Award.
