Skipping a hike through the woods or a picnic in a public park isn’t a stupid idea anymore. With the advent of self-driving cars, walkable city streets, and self-driving roller coasters, tech-savvy humans want more than just to look good while getting some sun. To be sure, these tech-y gifts — for which the internet has far too much money — will look really cool in the world of travel. But don’t forget that we humans are also semi-public people. It’s foolish to turn down gifts of coffee, snacks, and fresh air — no matter how many Bluetooth speakers the CFA touches down on them. You want to walk across the rose-wreathed cobblestone. You want to read a novel on a stick, stuck in a traffic jam. Don’t limit yourself to technology. Christmas wasn’t just about Santa’s big white gifts. And the gift-giving season isn’t over. Go get some of these amazing gifts anyway. And we’ll tell you just which ones are tech.
