Gift Guides

No matter how well you know someone, it can still be difficult to find the right tech gift. Why not leave your shopping in the hands of complete strangers?

The Verge is comprised of a diverse group of people with passions, tastes, and hobbies that are equally representative of someone you probably know. We like what they like, so whether you’re shopping for a birthday, trying to find the perfect thing for Mother’s or Father’s Day, back to school or graduation, or looking for inspiration for holiday presents, you’ll find something fun, quirky, useful (or all three) in our gift guides.
