Geeky gifts for the technology-obsessed

An unwanted gift says a lot. It can imply that you, the gift giver, (a) don’t really know the recipient, or (b) you’re too busy to shop for a thoughtful gift. It’s a lose-lose situation.

So how about some tech-related gifts for the geeks on your list that let them choose what they want, when and how? The following gift subscriptions and cards (listed in alphabetical order), provide quick and easy access to apps, movies, music, TV episodes, digital magazines, hired help, and even grooming supplies. We selected these specific services based on the assumption that a great gift is something recipients would enjoy, but wouldn’t necessarily buy for themselves, as well as how easy each service is to gift in person and from afar.
