Are the tech-lovers in your life hard to shop for? Here are last-minute gift ideas sure to please the techie in your life.
• Streaming service gift cards. Did you know Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Disney+, CBS All Access and BritBox let you give gift cards or year-long subscriptions? Find out which service your friend has or wants to try and get them a gift subscription. Visit the service website for details or a store where you can buy a card.
• An Oculus Quest 2. Does the tech-lover in your life play video game consoles or virtual reality (VR) games on a PC? If they’re waiting to get their hands on a Playstation 5 or new Xbox, they might like the self-contained Oculus Virtual Reality system. It can play games by itself or connect to a PC with an Oculus Link cable. It’s on the Oculus.com website, Amazon, or other retailers.
• Wireless earbuds. You can’t go wrong with wireless headphones for the techie in your life. Whether they love playing games, listening to music or podcasts, or simply blocking out ambient noise, wireless headphones are a great choice. 
If they have an iPhone the new Apple AirPods Pro, headphones have active noise cancelling and a transparency mode which lets outside noise in when needed. 
For any type of device, including iPhones, the Jabra Elite earbuds are excellent. The 75t model is highly rated and includes active noise cancelling, but there are newer and older models to choose at different prices. Both are available on Amazon and from other retailers.
