      3-D Printing Pen, $100

      This is one of the coolest gadgets we’ve seen all year. You can use it to draw…in 3-D! #mindblown. Buy this for your favorite techie with an artistic streak, or try it out yourself and hand craft (or draw) all your Christmas gifts this year.

      Available at Hammacher Schlemmer

      Rabbit Jumbo Chilling Stones, $20

      Whiskey stones are a perennial favorite for pretty much anyone on your Naughty or Nice list. With two stainless steel cubes, your chosen tippler can chill a tumbler of her favorite dram—plus share one with a friend—without diluting it with excess water.

      Available at Metrokane

      iSpoon Kitchen Stylus, $10

      The modern cook has a new best friend: the Internet. But it’s a huge pain when your iPad ends up covered in bits of your latest creation. Enter the iSpoon, a conventional stirrer on one end and a tablet stylus on the other. Now you can scroll to the next direction on your recipe without getting batter or sauce all over your device.

      Available at Amazon

      Parrot App-Controlled Quadricopter Drone, $300

      It's been the year of the drone—but which is the best one for the at-home tinkerer? The Parrot can be controlled using an app downloaded to your phone and users can watch the video feed live or record everything it captures in HD. Just be sure to warn your neighbors…

      Available at Brookstone

      Apple Watch, $349

      OK, so you can’t buy the Apple Watch until Spring 2015. But this is shaping up to be the hottest product of the year, so your favorite techie will surely appreciate an I.O.U from Santa.

      Available at Apple

      Anova Precision Cooker, $179

      Available at Amazon

      Lumo Lift, $100

      In the race to make the perfect wearable, the Lumo Lift stands out. With the look of a lapel pin, this gadget’s main purpose is simple: to help you stand up a little straighter. Every time a wearer starts to slouch, the tracker vibrates. It also tracks the user’s steps and activity information, sending the data straight to their smartphone.

      Available at LUMO

      Golf Handicap Tracker, $199

      Riding the current mindset that no amount of data is too much, Golf Game has introduced a product that tracks a golfer’s every stroke, club choice, and move on the course. You can even compare your results to the top golfers in the world.
