Updated: Aug 19, 2021
It’s always difficult to buy thoughtful presents for people, especially for tech products since new iterations are always coming out. Here are the 10 items that you might want to take a look at if you have no clue what to get for that person who loves anything tech.
1. For The Selfie-holic
Forget polaroids, check out Canon’s iNSPiC [S] camera-printer (RRP: S$219) instead. Not only do you get a huge reflective dome to better frame your shots, there’s a fill light to help with dark lighting conditions and you get to immediately print out copies of the photo to give to your friends!

2. For The Frequent Traveller
Ask any frequent traveller what’s most important to them during a flight, and I’m sure a good number will say that it’s a pair of active noise-cancelling headphones. And right now? The headphones with unrivalled noise-cancelling are the Sony WH-1000XM3 (RRP: S$549).

If you’re looking for a smartwatch that can also pull double duty as a fitness tracker, the Fitbit Versa 2 (RRP: S$318) is worth taking a look at. It’s currently going at a S$60 discount as well, resulting in a price of just S$258!
6. For The Apple Fan
For Apple users, the AirPods Pro (RRP: $379) is a game-changer. Finally, users get earbuds with silicone tips that can ensure a better and more comfortable fit. And to add onto it, noise-cancellation is finally here!
We’ve got a review coming up for these soon, so stay tuned for that.
7. For Those Looking For A Mid-Range Phone

Huawei’s future might be up in the air because of all the restrictions from President Trump, but you can’t deny their phones are still good. The Huawei Nova 5T (RRP: S$598) launched earlier this year uses the same Kirin 980 chip found in the P30 Pro, and has pretty good specs for the price.
Definitely something to consider if you’re looking for a new phone but not to spend too much. Check out our review here.
8. For Those Looking For True Wireless Earbuds
Get rid of pesky cables and go truly wireless with the Klipsch T5 True Wireless (RRP: S$349). There’s a S$30 discount right now for orders made through TC Acoustics, the Singapore distributor, and the Triple Black special edition looks really sleek!
