Small Tech Treasures

The Core77 community crowned Caitlin Tran's of-the-moment "Modern Stocking Stuffers" gift guide the Community Choice winner. It's a great reference for small tech gifts that you will truly use on an everyday basis.

Editor's Choice Winners

Our readers really brought their A-game to the showdown, so picking favorites wasn't easy! We ultimately decided on an editor's choice winner and two runners-up based on playfulness, gift-ability, and theme ingenuity. One editor's choice will be receiving an Apple Watch and the two runners-up will each receive a SONOS speaker.
