The Best Holiday Gifts: My Personal Recommendation on What to Gift

Best Tech Gifts for the Holidays!

The holidays are around the corner, and let's be honest—we all have that moment of panic when we realize our gifting game needs to be stronger this year. Instead of frantically searching for socks or a last-minute coffee mug, let me help you out with a gift that’s both practical and stylish: NYTSTND wireless chargers. 

As someone who loves gifting and values practicality (okay, and a sprinkle of flair), here’s a breakdown of what I’m giving—and why NYTSTND products are about to save the holidays for me (and maybe you)).

For the Constant Traveler in My Life: Trio Travel + Power Bank 10000mAh

My husband Artur is always traveling for work, and he’s constantly complaining about losing his charging cables in the airport. So, I’ve decided Artur’s about to get an upgrade—enter the Trio Travel wireless charger and the Power Bank 10000mAh. Not only can it charge multiple devices at once, but it's compact and foldable. My husband can toss it in his overstuffed backpack without a second thought.

Plus, the Power Bank will save him when he’s stuck in a long layover with no outlets in sight (seriously, airports, step up your game).

For My Graphic-Design Obsessed Friend: Leather & Wood Chargers in White, Black, and Saddle

You know that one friend who treats their living room like it's a museum? Yeah, that’s Agata. Her home is all about aesthetics, and I would never dream of giving her anything that doesn't look like it belongs in an interior design magazine. That’s why she’s getting one of the Leather & Wood Collection chargers. These beauties come in white, black, and saddle, so I’ll pick the one that matches her Scandinavian-meets-rustic style. I’ll probably go with saddle, because the warm, buttery tones of the leather paired with the handcrafted wood will look perfect next to her beloved coffee table art books.

And let’s face it—charging your phone should be an experience, not just a necessity. This way, she gets to add a bit of luxury to her everyday routine (and I get to brag that I found a practical gift that looks gorgeous).

For the Tech Guru in My Life: Quad Wireless Charger

Then, there’s my cousin, Daniel, who owns more gadgets than I can count. His bedside table is a jungle of tangled cords, and it’s a miracle he can even find his phone in the chaos. This year, I’m giving him the Quad Wireless Charger, which can handle all of his tech at once—phones, watches, AirPods, you name it.

I’m also throwing in a little note that says, “Congrats, you’ve finally entered the wireless world!”—a friendly jab at his chaotic cable hoarding. This charger is the ultimate setup for tech lovers who need multiple devices powered up simultaneously, minus the clutter.

For the Minimalist: Duo Wireless Charger

For my friend Jasmine, who lives by the “less is more” mantra, the Duo Wireless Charger is perfect. It’s simple, sleek, and charges two devices at once. Jasmin’s the type who only owns two pairs of shoes (both white sneakers), so this fits her lifestyle to a tee. The Duo’s minimalist design won’t add any visual clutter, and its leather-and-wood finish will complement her serene, all-white apartment vibe. Plus, she'll love how it quietly blends into her space without screaming "tech."

For...Me: A Little Something Extra 

Full disclosure—I’ll probably buy myself one of these chargers, too. After all, shopping for others during the holidays can be exhausting, so why not reward yourself? I have my eye on the Quad Wireless Charger in sleek black. It’s going to sit perfectly on my desk, so I can charge all my gadgets at once while pretending to be productive.

And Now for Something Different... 

Okay, hear me out. As much as I love NYTSTND’s wireless chargers, there are always those oddball people on your list who you can’t figure out. For that one uncle who insists he doesn’t need anything, why not surprise him with a compostable phone case? No, NYTSTND doesn’t sell these, but I like to mix it up. These eco-friendly cases can biodegrade over time, making it a cool conversation starter while still being super functional. Plus, you can always pair it with a charger—everyone needs a little balance, right?

Or, if you want to go really out of the box, how about a mood lamp that syncs with your phone? Perfect for those who are into ambient lighting or want to set the mood for their Netflix marathons. Bonus points: It could sit right next to their brand-new NYTSTND charger.

Wrapping It All: Best Gifts for the Holidays

The holidays don’t have to be stressful. Whether you’re gifting a traveler, a minimalist, or a tech-savvy friend, I think NYTSTND has something for everyone—and it’s a gift that combines luxury, practicality, and style. 

So, whether you’re gifting a Trio Travel, a Quad Charger, or splurging on a leather-and-wood decor piece, you’re guaranteed to make someone’s holiday brighter. And hey, if you throw in an eco-friendly phone case or a mood lamp for fun, you’ll definitely be the favorite gift-giver this year!

Happy gifting—and don’t forget to treat yourself while you’re at it. 😊

Best, Irina M.
