Over the years, technology has improved the way people perform daily tasks, so it should come as no surprise why tech items make useful gifts.

A piece of tech exists pretty much for any person with any hobby or interest. Thinking about what to give a work-from-home aunt who always vents about the stresses of the day? You can't go wrong with getting an oil diffuser that doubles as a humidifier to improve the atmosphere of a room. How about a gift for a handyman-type dad? There are endless options for cordless screwdrivers and drills. Needless to say, a fitness-enthused friend will always be giddy with excitement if they were to get the latest fitness tracker band.

But if there's one loved one who would appreciate most tech gifts out in the market, it's the tech enthusiast – and there's one in almost every social circle. Because the market is filled with new gadgets for consumers to choose from, we have lined up our top picks for gaming, fitness, photography and music.

1. Smartphone gamepads

For gamers who want to enjoy the entirety of their smartphone's screen real estate and find satisfaction in having physical buttons to press, there's a lot of gaming controllers to choose from. This model, made by Ipega Limited, not only fits smartphones, but is also big enough to hold 10in tablets!

2. Fitness trackers

Fitness enthusiasts need all the features they can get in a small and light fitness band. This model from Shenzhen Ardemer Technology Co. Ltd packs a 1.3in IPS screen along with features such as heart rate and oxygen level monitor, sleep tracking, hands-free calls via Bluetooth and IP68 water resistance.

3. Tripods

Mobile photography has undeniably risen over the past few years due to the development of high-resolution smartphone lenses and high-speed processors to enhance captured images. That being said, smartphone photography accessories make popular gifts for friends who love to take pictures in the moment. This tripod from Dongguan OSM Digital Co. Ltd is an ideal item to source because of its versatility – it can also be used as a monopod simply by folding its three feet.

4. Bluetooth earbuds

This item is a staple in most online marketplaces and in physical tech stores. Earbuds are a widely popular item for one obvious reason – it eliminates the need for wires while enjoying music. This pair, made by Bravo Industrial Trade Co. Ltd, is equipped with a Bluetooth 5.0 chip for lossless sound transmission. Its aluminum alloy body is wear-resistant, making it perfect for outdoor use.
