A LOT OF extremely expensive gadgets were released in 2023—from smarter robot vacuums to calorie-zapping fitness suits. While a VR headset with an Apple logo might make for a welcome gift, giving someone a $1,600 automated maid might imply you think they’re feckless and sloppy. Instead, get your giftees more thoughtful, more fun and more valuable tech and gear gifts that won’t clear out your wallet. Here, our picks.
A Clock With Old-School Appeal
Even in a world where every second device tells the time, the ability to look at a real timepiece still satisfies. This flip clock comes in several eye-catching colors, and makes a satisfying click sound at the beginning of each minute. A good gift for both older sorts nostalgic for the ’70s and younger sorts who somehow manage to be nostalgic about eras they didn’t even live through. Gino Flip Clock, $99, Schoolhouse.com
