That's why we've compiled this list of our top home tech gifts, with a little bit of something for everyone.
Everyone wants to be warm and cosy over Christmas, and that's where the Stoov Homey electric heating bottle comes in.
It is, in essence, a hot water bottle without the water, but that does come with some important advantages.
For those who struggle with hand mobility, the Homey eliminates the risk of scalding from mishaps when pouring boiled water, and simply relies on its rechargeable battery for heat generation.
And with this convenience also comes three different temperature settings, ensuring you're getting the most comfortable experience consistently while the device is powered on.
Saga Magazine writer Jayne Cherrington-Cook loves it: "It' a bit pricey for what it is, but it stays warm for ages! No more boiling the kettle, you can just stay snug."
You're paying a premium, but for anyone who would benefit from an easily rechargeable, no-fuss alternative to the traditional hot water bottle, it makes the perfect gift.
Stoov Homey - RRP £84.99
An absolute kitchen game-changer, the Foodi PossibleCooker is an 8-in-1 multi-cooker that gives you huge versatility from a single device.
"This is on my Christmas list," says Jayne.
"It sears, steams and you can pop it in the oven. It also has a keep warm function, which is great for parties or big gatherings."
Save your loved one from a cluttered kitchen by gifting them this multi-functional do-it-all cooker, and if you can get it opened quick enough, you might end up being the Christmas dinner hero.

Hi-tech fashion for the winter climate? Yes please.
UNIQLO's HEATTECH offerings are the perfect gift for the cold winter months, featuring thermal technology that generates heat using air-pockets between their ultra-thin fibres. It might not be electrical tech but if it keeps you warm, why be pedantic?
The thin, smooth, stretchable material is a perfect alternative to bulky clothes and can be easily layered for those extra chilly days.
Plus, all this technology is surprisingly affordable and comes in a range of colours and items.

For a nature lover this Netvue smart bird feeder gives a unique experience from the comfort of the home.

You can give the gift of birdsong and bird view this Christmas, and with the rechargeable battery and included solar panels, it'll last the rest of the year too.

Amazon's newest smart speaker continues to lead the way in the market, thanks in large part to Alexa's excellent functionality.
The Echo Dot is the smallest and cheapest speaker from Amazon, but its sound quality punches well above its weight, and this is a great introductory device for someone who has yet to venture into the world of smart home speakers.
It features compatibility with all major music streaming applications, and given it's so frequently on sale for as low as £25, you get a speaker and access to Alexa's smart homes functionality for an absolute bargain.
Saga Magazine's technology expert Jonathan Margolis said: "The sound quality of the Echo has been getting better and better."
Amazon Echo Dot 5th Generation - RRP £54.99
CD's are making a comeback, or so we've heard, and so the CD player must be returning too.
Loewe's Klang S3 speaker combines everything you'd want from a premium smart radio and speaker, with a CD player that means you'll be digging through your old collection in no time.
As expected, the sound quality of this device is absolutely superb, and it has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity for music streaming and smart radio functionality, a USB port for mp3 device streaming, and the aforementioned CD player.
Margolis says: "Its easily good enough to replace your hi-fi."
It's an all-in-one premium product, and for the music-lover in your life, we think it's a perfect pick. It's currently on sale for £499.
Loewe Klang S3 - RRP £719
