Christmas gifts for the tech fan who has (almost) everything
Santa is getting ready and checking his list of who's been naughty and nice in 2026, and if you think you've landed yourself on the 'good' list, there couldn't be a better time to be a tech fan.
In a year that we've got our hands on the first folding iPhone, GTA 6, and the LEGO Smart Brick, you should start banking some nice-bucks ASAP.
While you might be struggling to get your hands on the Zelda 40th anniversary Switch 2, UNILADTech has plenty of Christmas gifts and gadgets for that special someone…or maybe just yourself if you feel like you've been extra good this year.
UNILADTech's top 16 Christmas gifts for the person you think has everything
Even though we imagine you'd have to really like your Secret Santa coworker to get them some of the items listed here, the wide world of Christmas tech gifting has moved far beyond a dancing Big Mouth Billy Bass singing "Jingle Bells".
For the tech fan at home
SHOP NOW: Ninja CREAMI Deluxe Ice Cream Maker, Walmart $229/AO.com £259/Amazon UK £259.99
It might not exactly feel like the time of year to be busting out chilled desserts, but trust me, you won't be saying that when you've tried your own homemade Bailey's ice cream. Boasting 10 functions in one machine, the Ninja CREAMi does more than just whip up a batch of ice cream. While taking 24 hours to get your frozen treat might be a little frustrating for some, those with less time can still customize store-bought ice cream or make a quick milkshake. Slushies, gelato, frogurt, frappes, and more are just a button away.
SHOP NOW: Loch Capsule Dishwasher, Loch Electronics US $459.99/Loch Electronics UK £343
Your smart home is likely full to bursting with new tech, and with that, space comes at a premium. After putting all that blood, sweat, and tears into your Christmas roast, the last thing you want to do is tackle the dishes. This is where the Loch Capsule dishwasher comes in handy. The countertop dishwasher is aimed at those with small kitchens, or those who might live in campervans and boats. This small but mighty machine can still fit 25 items and complete a quick wash in just 15 minutes. In a feature we haven't seen before, the Loch Capsule also includes a waterless UV-C disinfection mode that uses medical-grade LEDs to clean 99.9% of bacteria and viruses from the surface of your mobile phone.

SHOP NOW: Reolink Video Doorbell, Reolink US $143.99/Amazon UK £99.99
Up your security with the second-generation Reolink video doorbell. While some companies charge monthly fees for local storage, Reolink doesn't. Giving you up to 300 days of use on a single charge, Reolink keeps your home secure with 2K video resolution, a 180° field of view, and pre-motion recording. Making use of AI, Reolink's video doorbell can spot everything from vehicles to pets, packages to potential intruders.
Better yet, advanced night vision turns even the darkest doorstep into clear footage that ensures your home is secure no matter what the time.
SHOP NOW: ECOVACS DEEBOT X12 OmniCyclone Vacuum, Ecovacs US $1499.99/Ecovacs UK £999.99
While the U.S. government has its own thoughts on robot vacuums, we can confirm that the ECOVACS DEEBOT X12 OmniCyclone Vacuum doesn't 'suck'. AI technology lets it map your living space and learn your routine to keep your home spotless while recognizing the difference between carpeted and non-carpeted areas. Also, being the first robot vacuum to include FocusJet technology, can we explain what this is/, the DEEBOT X12 uses crossed water jets to dissolve stuck-on stains and leave your floors streak-free. As someone who's never had a robot vacuum before, I can honestly say the DEEBOT X12 has revolutionized my cleaning routine. There's nothing like sitting at your desk in the office and setting the DEEBOT X12 off remotely, coming home to a mess-free living space.
SHOP NOW: Lavazza Tablì Automatic Tab Coffee Machine, Lavazza US $129.99/Lavazza UK £199
For the eco-conscious who still need their morning coffee fix, Lavazza is doing its bit for the planet with its Tabli tab coffee machine. Doing away with traditional plastic or aluminium capsules, the Tabli uses 100% pressed ground coffee tabs without casing or binders. Used tabs are directly deposited as organic waste, meaning you get all of the convenience of a pod machine without the planet-destroying footprint. More than a velvety cup thanks to Lavazza's crema plus technology, I found the Tabli a great reinvention of how I take my morning cup of Joe for convenience alone. As well as running almost silently when compared to my previous pod machine, I connected the Tabli to my Amazon Alexa for voice-activated brewing.
SHOP NOW: Morphy Richards Halo 1.5L Alexa Kettle, Morphy Richards UK £119.99
If coffee isn't your thing and you're more of a tea person, Morphy Richards' Halo Alexa Kettle is the kettle of the future. As the name suggests, Alexa voice control is integrated into this smart kettle. It's as simple as saying, "Alexa, put the kettle on," removing those awkward arguments about whose turn it is to put the kettle on. Even though we know a kettle is effectively just a kettle, its sleek, black appearance means it's also an attractive addition to your countertop.
With its AI credentials, the Halo Alexa kettle also lets you build daily routines into it.
SHOP NOW: Ingenio Dual Stack Air Fryer, $213/£159.99
We're sure you're sick to death of air fryers and having their various benefits of ease and speed shoved down your throat, but similar to the Loch Capsule saving space, Tefal offers a similar perk with the Ingenio Dual Stack. While some of the bulkier air fryers feel like they need a whole countertop of their own, Tefal keeps things compact with an air fryer than can hold an impressive 10-liters and saves up to 40% of room. Two racks let you cook at four different levels at once, meaning everything from meal prep to your next dinner party are covered. Seven presets allow to cook everything from fries to dough, and if all that wasn’t enough, a sync function means both drawers can finish at the same time.
For the beauty-loving tech fan
SHOP NOW TriPollar Aura - $1140/£849
Although the TriPollar Aura is admittedly a little on the pricey side when it comes to anti-aging devices, can you really put a price on a brand-new you? Created in partnership with Pollagen and SKINVITY, the TriPollar Aura boasts that it's the most advanced facial radiofrequency on the market, with six simultaneous frequencies offering thermal coverage across all layers of the dermis. 24K gold-plated electrodes offer superior conductivity, and sensors read skin temperature 1,000 times per second. The TriPollar Aura vows to give deep structural recovery and visible results from your first session.
Reaching 109°F in just 18 seconds, the TriPollar Aura says it's the only device that acts on all layers of the dermis simultaneously. Enjoy improved skin density, elasticity, firmness, and hydration with just 28 days of regular use.
SHOP NOW: BUFF LED Face Mask, $267/Buff Skincare £199
Even though LED face masks aren't exactly gender specific, BUFF's is aimed at men. As seen in Vogue and Forbes, the LED light therapy face mask combines 488 LEDs with four targeted wavelengths. Improving fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, and tired-looking eyes, BUFF can brighten dull skin with just 10 minutes of use. Reviewers say they notice a difference in two weeks, and while I did feel a bit like Hannibal Lecter wearing the light therapy mask, it worked at refreshing my own haggard face. If 2026 has been a rough one for you, you might want to think about upping your skincare routine with this one.
SHOP NOW: SONA Vagus Nerve Stimulator, $932/£695
I'll be perfectly honest that I didn't even know I had a vagus nerve, let alone what one was. (For those who don’t know, it's the longest and most complex of the 12 cranial nerves and includes 75% of all your body's parasympathetic nerve fibers.) Still, with SONA claiming it can reduce stress in just 10 minutes a day, I was sold. Built by neuroscientists and powered by AI, I was ready to become my own Marvel Cinematic Universe's Ultron (without the villainous tendencies). The device sits in your ear, taking heart and respiration data while stimulating your vagus nerve. While it admittedly takes a little getting used to, SONA can be used to help with everything from deep sleep to digestion, and even quietening a busy mind.
SHOP NOW: Shark ChillPill, SharkNinja US $149.99/Amazon UK £120
Similar to an ice cream making an unexpected appearance on a list of Christmas tech, remember that it (hopefully) won't be cold for too much longer. For those who are seeking a bit of winter sun and are heading to warmer climes this year, the Shark ChillPill has you covered.
Working as a 3-in-1 personal cooling system, the Shark ChillPill combines a high-speed fan, an ultra-fine water mister for a quick spritz, and a contact-cooling plate to bring your temperature down by up to 16°F in a flash. Taking a leaf out of Apple's book, the ChillPill also comes in a whole rainbow of colors, although I was a big fan of the dragonfruit pink.
SHOP NOW: Lush Bath Bot, Lush US $180/Lush UK £150
Make a splash with Lush's Bath Bot, Lush brings the idea of a classic bath bomb to bath time with a tech twist. The bath bomb was invented by Lush co-founder Mo Constantine all the way in 1989, and it's fair to say the idea has evolved a lot since then. Described as the next generation of bath bombs, the Bath Bot has immersive colour and 180-degree sound to deliver a sensory bathing experience that's enhanced by Lush's own app, alongside a synchronised light and audio experience. All you need to do is pop in one of their bath bombs, chuck in your Bath Bot, turn down the lights, and cue the music. Ah, pure bliss.
For the tech fan on the move
SHOP NOW: Fairbuds 2, Amazon US $119.99/Yourcoop £99
It's not easy being green, but when it comes to Fairphone's Fairbuds 2, that's literally the point. More than just their forest green colorway (also available in black), the company has created them to tackle the 40,000 tons of headphones that are reportedly sent to the dump every year.
The Fairbuds 2 are created with 49% fair and recycled materials that include plastics, rare earth elements, tin, cobalt, copper, gold, and silver, but that doesn't mean they skimp on features like 45 decibel noise reduction with active noise canceling and up to 40 hours of total playtime (with a charging case).
In my own Fairbuds 2 review, we suggested that they could even be a potential replacement for your trusty AirPods, and coming in at just $119, Fairphone is giving Apple a run for its money.
SHOP NOW: Oura Ring 5, Oura US $399/Currys £399/Oura UK £399
The gold standard of wearable rings is here, with the Oura Ring 5 being a massive upgrade from what's come before.
Built to blend in, the Oura Ring 5 is 40% smaller than the Oura Ring 4 and weighs just two grams to come into line with non-smart jewellery.
Of course, that’s not why you buy an Oura Ring, delivering personalized data through the day and night to check that your body is running as normal. For someone who struggles with their sleep, the Oura Ring 5's ability to check whether something could be off with your breathing can hopefully turn things around. Also, as an avid swimmer, the fact that the Oura Ring 5 is made from durable titanium and is waterproof is another big win that means I can monitor my pool workout with ease. Giving up to a week of use from a single charge, the Oura Ring 5 can stay on my finger for longer than ever.
SHOP NOW: NOWATCH B Smartwatch - $478/£356
Not everyone wants their smartwatch to look like a modern bit of tech, which is why Polsen's NOWATCH cleverly disguises it as a classy accessory you can wear for any occasion. For those worried we're a little too connected in 2026, the NOWATCH B is a distraction-free alternative that monitors your health while looking like your average timepiece. Covering stress, sleep, heart health, temperature, menstrual cycles, and even your heart rate variability at night, the NOWATCH B is an impressive alternative to the various smartwatch brands on the market.
SHOP NOW: Beats 360 Over-Ear Headphones, Amazon US $349/Amazon UK £299
Fairbuds aside, some of you are more traditional when it comes to your headphone choice. The OGs are back and better than ever, with the Beats 360 over-ear headphones getting an upgrade.
If you're anything like me and your headphones get a hammering at the gym, the good news is that Beats 360 are the brand's first headphones with interchangeable ear and headband cushions. This means I got to pair my sky headphones with some sultry navy cushions.
Active noise cancellation offers up to 1.75x more total noise cancellation than Beats Studio Pro.7, while they offer crystal-clear sound when on calls. Even with ANC activated, Beats 360 have 32 hours of playtime to make sure you aren't running out of tunes while on those long flights where you need to block out screaming babies.
For the big kid tech fan
SHOP NOW: Pikachu Puppetronic by RealFX, Amazon US $79.99/Smyths UK £59.99
For the younger members of the family (or big kids), Pokémon fans can add their own adorable Pikachu to their homes. Standing at 40cm tall, RealFX's Pikachu Puppetronic has over 120 sounds and actions, bringing the fan-favorite electric mouse to life like never before. With a moving mouth, dual-motion ears, and blinking eyes, Pikachu also has light-up cheeks so you can be the very best...like no one ever has.
SHOP NOW: Velleman Tobbie the Robot Kit 107 Pieces, Amazon US $48.34/Smyths UK £29.99
He's not quite WALL-E, but he's the next best thing. Billed as your buildable new best friend, Tobbie the Robot is easy to bring to life as he teaches kids and adults alike the basics of robotics. Tobbie can follow you around the house with his 'Follow Me' mode, or let him free with 'Explore' after setting a course. With light-up eyes and an adorable expression, the best bit is that Tobbie is easy to put together in one to two hours without the need for soldering. If you fancy yourself as the next Tony Stark, give him a go.
SHOP NOW: Bowser Classic Clog Crocs, Amazon US $69.99/Nintendo UK £69.99
Putting the 'croc' in Crocs (yes, we know he's actually a turtle), Nintendo fans can celebrate Mario's archenemy with these Bowser-themed Croc clogs. Love 'em or hate 'em, Crocs are sure to make you stand out from the crowd, and if you're a gaming fan, why not be the talk of the town as you step out in your Bowser clogs? The King of the Koopas has never looked so good, and neither have your feet!
