These gifts stacked up fairly consistently with holiday tech spending forecasts: Shelly Jones Jennings, VP/Director of Digital Received: Apple Watch Sport Shelly says: I love it! The Apple Watch sport is an Apple watch and fitness tracker that is as beautiful as it is feature-packed. Made from anodized aluminum, durable Ion-X glass, and a retina display, the Apple Watch Sport is the result of Apple's meticulous attention to detail. The watch's functions include a heart rate sensor, accelerometer, and gyroscope–and with support for Apple's watchOS, there are a number of apps that can be installed on the device.

(Continued) Cristie Leondis, Associate Editor, Digital Received: Beachwaver PRO curling iron Cristie says: It's a tech beauty item. It's a special curling wand that you select either L for left or R for right, you put your hair in it, and it curls it by itself, you don't have to do anything! I love it. The Beachwaver PRO is a high-tech curling iron. It rotates in both directions, and will automatically rotate with a touch of its "GO†button. The device also has an LED temperature dial and other cool features. (Continued) E'lisha Holmes, Digital Media Producer Received: FitBit Gave: Hoverboard The FitBit is the top-selling fitness/activity tracker of 2015. There is a range of FitBit products: some are only activity trackers; others will monitor heart rate, sleep patterns, and more. Hoverboards were another big holiday item, despite reports of injuries and boards exploding into balls of flames. The top-selling hoverboards actually don't hover; they have wheels and include boards from Razor, Swagway, and Glyro. There are Hoverboards that do hover, although they are quite expensive and limited in functionality. Lexus and Hendo hoverboards only work on special surfaces. The Arcaboard can hover on any surface, but only for about five minutes, and costs over $19,000. (Continued) Sonja Mack, Digital Content Manager Gave: Samsung Galaxy tablets Tablets were hot this year. Sonja Mack gave two to her boys, 11 and 16. Samsung Galaxy Tabs range from portable 7-inch screens to 18.4-inch work screens. They are versatile since both Wi-Fi and 4G LTE connection models are available. The Galaxy Tab is an affordable yet powerful option to the iPad. (Continued) Carolyn Brown , Senior Editor, Small Business Gave: Bluetooth Stereo Neckband, iPad Mini Carolyn says: I gave a friend a Bluetooth Stereo neckband for the iPhone 6 and iPad, and I gave my mom a mini iPad (Apple) to play casino slot games, although I am hoping, before 2016 is out, to get her to use it for other applications. She is a senior citizen but slowly moving toward using new gadgets and technology. Her group of senior friends is slowly starting to use smartphones, iPads, and other devices with the aid of their grandchildren helping them to understand the technology and, in some ways, helping them to connect/feel connected to younger generations. Wireless neckbands are ideal headphones for music lovers on-the-go or those who want a headphone to stay in place while working out. Prices vary from about $10 to almost $50 for a top-of-the-line pair. The iPad still reigns as tablet supreme. The mini iPad is sleek and ultra-portable–measuring 6.1 mm wide and .65 pounds.

The other is a crossbody bag featuring a hidden charging component for both my iPhone and Samsung Galaxy–I LOVE them! The Mighty Purse wristlet is a gorgeous leather purse and a high-tech charging device on the sly. It has a carefully hidden, lightweight battery that can charge most micro-USB devices. You can also buy an iPhone adapter which is sold separately. Mighty Purse also makes crossbody bags in an array of colors and designs that also have charging capability.
