5 Tech-y Christmas Gifts For Anyone And Everyone
Amazon

Christmas is coming soon. Very soon. 41 days away, actually. Every year, people are faced with the frustration of someone on their list they just don't now how to buy for. Trying to balance what a friend or family member needs with what they want can be difficult, not to mention staying in your own budget and within the times constraints your busy schedule sets. While you are doing your own shopping, your friends and family are probably asking you, "What do YOU want for Christmas?" This question might be as hard to answer for yourself as it is for others. Oftentimes, our lists are much barer than our families prefer.

Whether it's for your family and friends' lists or your own, here's seven techy gifts that would put serious smiles on faces.

1. HP Sprocket

This super-handy printer is run by Bluetooth, so it can go anywhere without cords. It uses a special paper, that when the back is removed, can stick to any surface for easy decorating with your photos. The Sprocket's coolest feature, however, is likely the printer's ability to sync with your social media apps, printing photos directly from them, even if the photos aren't on your phone's camera roll. $130, Best Buy

2. ZoomZam Bluetooth Speaker

This speaker is made of leather, wood, and metal, which makes it work with a wide variety of decor. It's small, so it's very portable. While it comes with an auxiliary cord, it works with any device that is Bluetooth-enabled. Functionality and style points, too. $32.99, Amazon

3. Crosley CR8005D-BK Cruiser Deluxe

For the vintage lover in your life, try this multi-faceted record player. Not only does it allow you to listen to your favorite vinyls, it has an audio jack and Bluetooth capabilities for endless music. The best thing about this system is it comes in lots of colors, and even a Mickey Mouse option- groovy! $78.25, Amazon

4. Amazon Echo Dot

This any-home friendly device uses Bluetooth, has wi-fi capability to connect to your mobile devices and accounts, like Amazon for shopping, Uber to help you catch a ride, or Dominos to order your pizza. It's like an in-home assistant that anyone could find a use for. $49.99, Amazon

5. Ring Doorbell

This handy-dandy device works with any door, whether you have a doorbell or not. It works with your smartphone to alert you when someone is at your door and allows you to video chat with your visitors right from your phone. This would make a great gift for people that travel often, or just spend time away from home. $199, Ring.com

Finding the perfect gift is never easy, but as the technology market becomes more saturated, anyone can be a techie, and a stylish one at that.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
