Are you still racing to finish your holiday shopping? Don’t worry, me too. Here are some last-minute ideas for the Apple and tech fans in your life – they won’t arrive in time for Christmas, but they should arrive this week for any late gift-giving exchanges.
CarlinKit 5.0 Wireless CarPlay adapter
This is a great option if the person you’re shopping for is a CarPlay user but hasn’t jumped into the world of wireless CarPlay. It’s a big quality-of-like upgrade to the must-have phone mirroring system for iPhone users.
AirPods Pro 2 might just be my most-used Apple product. They’ve gotten better and better ever since they were first released in October 2022. This year, they added revolutionary new hearing test and hearing aid features that could prove life-changing for someone in your life.
This one is a great stocking stuffer at under $20. It’s been a huge convenience update to have a simple, under-desk storage shelf to store things like my AirPods Pro, pens, dongles, and more.
I have a full gift guide dedicated to my favorite HomeKit accessories this holiday season. You can never go wrong gifting the tech fan in your life new smart home gadgets.
- Lutron Caséta Starter Kit
- Aqara Smart Lock U50
- Ecobee Smart Thermostat Enhanced
- Eve Flare Portable Smart LED Lamp

Logitech MX Vertical Wireless Mouse
An ergonomic mouse is a must-have for anyone who works at a computer daily. I’m a big fan of Logitech’s options in this product category, and this year, I switched to the MX Vertical Wireless Mouse.
If you’ve read my work this year, you know I’m a huge fan of the all-new Beats Pill. It’s the perfect Bluetooth speaker for Apple and Android users alike.
MagSafe first came to the iPhone in 2020, and a healthy ecosystem of products has developed around it. MagSafe products of all shapes and sizes are available for iPhone users. All these options arrive in time for Christmas.
- Belkin MagSafe 2-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand
- Anker 3-in-1 MagSafe Cube
- Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe
- Spigen OneTap Pro MagFit Charger
- Apple MagSafe Charger
- Apple MagSafe Wallet with Find My
If you’re shopping for someone who travels a lot, give them the gift of seamless connectivity to seatback entertainment. The Twelve South AirFly Pro is a simple dongle that lets you connect your AirPods or other Bluetooth accessories to anything with a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Backbone One Mobile Controller
This has become one of my favorite iPhone accessories and an easy way to increase my iPhone gaming prowess. Whether you’re playing iPhone games or streaming from a cloud gaming service, the Backbone One upgrades your mobile gaming experience.
Creating a “go bag” with all your must-have tech accessories is a great life hack. This way, you know you’ll never hit the road without your required chargers, dongles, batteries, and more.
