If you're buying for someone who appreciates good tech this holiday season, Ars is here to help make the gift giving process less stressful. The Orbital HQ spends much of its time testing all sorts of gadgets, games, and tech gear, so below we've rounded up a few of our favorite gift ideas from this year for anyone looking for a last-minute present.

We have dozens of recommendations across price ranges and device types, so we've broken down our picks into three categories: gifts that are ideal for gamers, gifts for around the house, and productivity-boosting gifts for people who work from home. With more and more people shopping online in this pandemic-stricken year, we can't guarantee that you'll be able to get everything in time without paying for expedited shipping, but if you'd like to give a loved one a quality piece of tech, the stuff below should delight.
