One of Google's newest products is the Google Home Hub. The Hub is similar to the previous Google Assistant speakers, but it's been reinvented to feature an interactive screen. Rather than checking your phone, the Hub has all of your crucial daily information only a glance away. You can have it display weather info, your to-do list, or the most importantly, recipes. Let's be real. This is gonna be a massive help in the kitchen.

2. Tile Mate Tracker - $24.99

When it comes to keeping track of your belongings, your techie in mind may be extremely forgetful. If that's the case, then the tile mate is a great gift that won't break your budget. They come in different sizes and qualities based on which items you're trying to keep track of. There's the tile mate, slim, and pro. The slim is tailored for wallets, laptops, tablets, and notebooks. The pro is just an upgraded version of the regular mate, but with a louder speaker and longer range.

3. Nintendo Switch - $299

Tech lovers and average joes alike, everyone needs a Nintendo Switch. It'll cost around $299 this year, but it's worth every cent. It's essentially the love baby of the Wii and the DS. It allows you to play on the bus, in the living room, or wherever you may find yourself. It's the first Nintendo console to be considered both a family console and a personal console.

4. Google Home or Google Home Mini - $29.99 - $129

The differences between the two Google Homes are mostly just size, sound quality, and of course, price. The Google Home is more suitable for a large space like the kitchen or living room, while the smaller Google Home Mini works well in the bedroom. However, both are extremely useful no matter where they're used. They're able to make calendar events for you, play music, and anything else the Google Assistant is able to do.

5. Cord Taco - $16

I doubt I'm the first person to get annoyed with a jumbled up pair of headphones or phone charger. As funny as the name is, the Cord Taco is an incredibly affordable and useful tech-related gift that solves an issue we all come to face every day.

6. Nintendo Switch Accessories - $10 - $80

Almost everyone plays Pokemon Go, but we all have that Pokemon Master in our lives. This for them. At the odd chance that you don't, this is a great gift for anyone who loves concerts or theme parks. The 13,000mAh Anker Battery can charge most phones almost 4 times and is made by one of the best battery pack companies out there. Your friend will never have to miss another raid battle again.

8. Google Chromecast - $35

You can turn your TV into a smart TV by plugging in a Google Chromecast. If your friend already has the Google Home, they can use their voice to turn on the TV, play shows, and change the volume. A Chromecast is a vital piece to anyone's smart home arsenal.

A Portable Hard Drive isn't necessarily the most interesting gift, but when your friend's laptop breaks, they'll be glad you got them this. You can fit nearly 600,000 photos into two terabytes, so it's plenty of space.

Fast charging is an incredibly interesting trend that's been expanded on by smart phone manufacturers as of lately. Make sure your friend's phone is compatible with wireless charging before buying this, but it's a fascinating gift that's also convenient.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
