Tech accessories have definitely taken on the prefix of luxury. Think: four-figure sum branded speakers to quarterly releases of new phones.
While we would like to boast that no expense is spared in our pursuit of stylish tech accessories, gadgets and their add ons still need to fulfil its first and foremost command — straddling desirability and practicability. Maybe you’re finally ready to invest in that fitness watch you’ve had your eye on for ages? If not, they will make fabulous gifts within your inner circle.
We did you a solid and rounded up the dreamiest tech gizmos starting from $38 to $249.

We know what you’re thinking; laptop bags aren’t the most glamorous… but they are super practical as well as a straightforward gifting option. From Hershel’s fully-padded and magnetic fasteners to The Paper Bunny’s water-resistant exterior, what you’ll be paying for is functionality and design. We’re sensing a win for this option.
