Picking gifts can be a nightmare. You want to give something exciting, something that lights up their face, but you also want it to be... useful. So, this year, forget generic gift cards and novelty junk that end up in a drawer. Give them tech gifts that they’ll actually use every single day.
Cygnett’s bestselling tech essentials deliver the perfect mix of functionality, style, and smart design. From Power Banks and wireless chargers to everyday tech accessories for iPhones, Android smartphones, iPads, laptops, and more, we’ve got your gift list sorted.
Whether it’s Christmas, birthdays, or just a surprise for someone special, you’ll find the perfect gift right here.
What are the best tech gifts this year?
The best tech gifts are the ones that actually improve everyday life. They work with the devices they already have. They look good. And they don’t just sit around collecting dust.
Here are some of our top-selling gift ideas that fit the brief:
Power Banks (wired, wireless, magnetic, solar, AFL Power Banks, NRL Power Banks)
chargers (wall and wireless)
car accessories like mounts, in-car chargers, and the DriveSync Wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto Adapter
tech accessories like charging cables, magnetic wallets, etc.
Smart home add-ons like our digital photo frames, like our app-connected wireless Frameo frame
protective cases and screen protectors for phones, tablets, and more
All of them are backed by a 2-year warranty and loaded with clever features that make everyday charging, listening, and organising a breeze.
Smart gifts for people who travel
Travellers love tech that keeps them going, not slowing them down. These Cygnett bestsellers are great gifts for people who are always on the go:
wired or wireless Power Banks
fast charging wall chargers
Wireless audio adapters
multi-port chargers with interchangeable plugs for international use
wireless chargers that are compact and travel-ready
solar panels for outdoor adventures
rechargeable Bluetooth TravelTags for tracking valuables
jump starters for vehicles
phone holders for plane trays
Keep in mind that most airlines only allow Power Banks up to 99Wh (27,000mAh) in carry-on luggage. Anything beyond that needs airline approval. So, if you're gifting a Power Bank for a traveller, make sure it meets airline regulations.
No worries, Cygnett has heaps of carry-on-approved Power Banks with capacities of 27,000 mAh or less. Just make sure to remind the recipient to check their specific carrier's limits first, as rules can vary.
Most airlines are also banning the use of Power Banks on board. We recommend topping up their devices before boarding to avoid low battery woes in-flight. Again, regulations can vary, so make sure to have them check with their airline before flying.
Gifts that suit every device
For tech lovers, compatibility is always a concern when picking out accessories. No one wants a charger or case that doesn’t work with their phone.
Cygnett makes it simple with charging and protection options for every major device:
magnetic wireless chargers for iPhone and Qi-compatible Android phones
charging cables in USB-A, USB-C, Lightning, micro USB, and even HDMI for smart TVs and video game consoles like Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch
screen protectors for iPhones, Samsung Galaxy, iPads, and more
protective cases for iPhone, iPad, and Samsung Galaxy models
Not sure what to buy? If they’ve got an iPhone or AirPods, go for MagSafe chargers or Lightning cables. For Samsung users, our USB-C range is perfect. If they have other devices like earbuds, headsets, portable speakers, smart watches, and even wellness gadgets like electric massagers, a USB-A, micro USB, or USB-C charger and cable would be smart.
Stylish gifts they’ll actually want to show off
Looking for a great gift with major wow factor? These picks look as good as they perform:
Encore Power Banks with luxe finishes, smart LCD displays, and up to 65W power output on the 20,000mAh model
