Tech gifts that won’t be returned
Compatibility-first picks and how to avoid the most common tech-gift mistakes.
The #1 rule: compatibility beats cool
Before you buy: check phone model, charging port type, OS version, and whether they already use a specific ecosystem.
Accessories usually outperform “big” gadgets because they fit into what the person already does.
How to choose when you don’t know their setup
Pick universal items: multi-port charging, organization, desk lighting, or travel-friendly gear.
If a gift needs an app, a subscription, or frequent charging, it’s only a good idea if you know they’ll use it.
