Updated November 17, 2017 Be everyone's "Secret Santa" at the company office party this year by gifting your co-workers with holiday tech gifts that are far more exciting than an end-of-year bonus. These gifts are made for the modern and tech-savvy co-worker who deserves something special for all the hard work they've delivered in 2017.
Click & Grow The Smart Garden 9
For the gardening enthusiast at the office, opt for a high-tech gift that makes nature even niftier! Click & Grow The Smart Garden 9 is an indoor garden that self-grows thanks to built-in sensors to manage water and nutrition, and comes with revolutionary smart soil.

Rocketbook Everlast Smart Notebook
While everyone in the company meeting is taking notes on their laptop or tablet, there's always that one co-worker who goes "old school" with a pen and paper. Gift this person with a whole new kind of notebook that merges regular writing with a high-tech, digital age connection to the cloud. Take notes as usual in the Rocketbook Everlast Smart Notebook and save the material to a Dropbox, Evernote, Google Drive, and more. Then reuse the notebook time and time again. $34 bucks for the gift that lasts and lasts.
1 Voice Beanie
A warm winter hat makes for a lovely gift for a co-worker, but a high-tech one is heads above the rest. Get a workplace pal 1 Voice Beanie — a Bluetooth-enabled beanie hat with built-in headphones and a controller at the back to connect wirelessly to a smartphone. No more annoying wires, just super-stylish comfort. The rechargeable battery lasts up to 12 hours and the cap is machine washable. Hats off (ahem) to a multi-purpose tech gift. Comes in a variety of colors and styles. Cost is $69.
Tile Slim Tracker
In today's busy climate, keeping track of all we have and do can become a challenge. Help out a co-worker by gifting them with Tile. The mini-sized Bluetooth tracker connects with an iOS and Android app to help keep track of items and locations. The device also links up to other users who can help one another in a virtual lost-and-found community. Slip a slim Tile into your wallet or pop onto a convenient keychain. The Tile starts at $25.
Belkin Boost Up Qi Wireless Charging Pad
No plug, no problem. With Belkin's Boost Up Qi Wireless Charging Pad, Qi-enabled smartphones can get charged up without the need for plugs or wires. Just set a smartphone on top of the device and once the LED light is illuminated, the phone is ready to go. The charge is speedy and efficient and the small size of the charger is perfect for any spot… even an office desk. Gift a co-worker who will never have to switch to "low battery" mode again! Sells for $39.99.
Eachine E010 Mini Quadcopter Drone
The Eachine E010 Mini Quadcopter Drone is likely going to be an office favorite — a great option to bring some buzz into a long day. Priced at just $21 it's more than affordable, and it's light-weight enough (the whole thing is smaller than the palm of your hand) that if it drops on a co-worker you're probably safe. Plus there are lights for some night racing when you're working late on deadline.
