Top Picks: 8 Gadget Gift Ideas for Her this Holiday
01:36
I know. Gadgets may not be the obvious gift choice for ladies, but I am probably not the first to say that women love technology, too!
You might think you are better off giving her perfume or fancy dresses or signature bags, but screw that, she's going to buy that for herself! Might as well give her something she wants but she won't. (within reason, of course). Imagine not having to go inside Etude House to pick up a box of Wonder Pore After Sun Special Set. You're probably even wondering what in the world Etude House is, but that's exactly my point!
Here's a little tip, the secret is, it has to be at least 2 of the following things: CUTE. INTERESTING. IN HER FAVORITE COLOR.
WARNING: This might be a list for the SPENDY.
#1 Power banks
O!tool D26 Power Bank by Ozaki - PowerMac Center, SM Aura, P1,995
Talk about cute and interesting. Everyone who has a smartphone could use a power bank. This is just too cute to resist.

Sanyo SilverTec Power Banks - Silicon Valley, Glorietta 2, Php 999
If you are on a tighter budget, you can get these colorful power banks at about less than half the price of the previous one. FYI, Sanyo is a Japanese electronics brand and they have been known for making the best batteries.
You can find power banks at around Php 300, but I recommend against those. I've had a boom encounter with those before. Dont' ask.
I find lots of good ones in Digital Walker, you can go checkout their Facebook page for more options:

# 2 Digital Watch
Casio Bg-5600Ck-7D Women's Watch (White) - Lazada/Time Depot, Glorietta 4, Php 3,995
Okay maybe it's not that much of a gadget, but maybe this is a good idea for starters. A lil' lovely watch never killed nobodeh.
#3 Headphones
Coloud The Knock Headphones - Digital Walker/Abenson Php 1,499 (I'll have to double check on this)

Coloud isn't the best in audio quality, but their products look like they are well made and designed; not so bad at its price point. They come in very beautiful pop colors, too. With the flat cables alone, these babies sell themselves.
#4 The Sims 4 - DataBlitz/www.origin.com, Php 1,995/ USD34.95 (sale!)
I know this isn't a gadget. But I'm not even sorry. The latest version of the Sims. Get her this and she'll thank you forever.
#5 Smart accessories
Sony SmartBand - Sony Centre, Php 4,199
[caption id="attachment_582" align="aligncenter" width="728"] photo credits[/caption]
Probably the most unfamilar in the list: this is a life logging device, which is a nifty accessory for the fitness-minded. These can track your steps, or bike ride distance (I'm not sure what to call it, but you get the idea?) or even your sleep. It can do so much more than that. A little creepy, huh? It also works as a remote shutter.

#6 E-book Reader
Kindle, Amazon, USD 49 (Black Friday deal!)
We all know that reading from real books is an incomparable experience, but having an e-book reader to carry around when traveling is very nice to have. Want to know how to shop for this online? Read my post about online shopping!
#7 Wireless Speakers
X-Mini WE - iStudio, BGC, Php 1,950
I was a little skeptic about adding this to the list because I'm not really sure if everyone loves sharing their music. But I had the 1st generation X-mini and I was totally blown away by it and I loved it so dearly. For its extremely small size, it packs quite a punch. Very impressive. This comes in different colors, too.
#8 Instant camera
Fujifilm Instax, Fujifilm Megamall/Lazada/Henry's Professional, Php 2,800-Php 9,000
[caption id="attachment_586" align="aligncenter" width="687"] photo credits[/caption]
Last but definitely not the least, Instant Cameras! Honestly, I am not a fan (don't hate me ladies), but I know everyone else LOVE THESE. They are so cute, I have to admit. Just make sure you are ready to spend on film refills! (lol)
And that's everything!
I can't speak for every girl out there, because I am that girl who loves gadgets in general. If you think I missed anything, or if you have negative reactions, let me know in the comments below! (nicely please). :(
Happy Holidays!
