THE SMART WAY TO PICK
Upgrade the setup, not his whole ecosystem.
The ideal tech gift fits a device or workflow he already uses. Check operating-system and connection compatibility before buying.
Think about whether the recipient already owns something similar, what accessories or ongoing supplies the idea requires, and how much room it will take up. If the person has carefully chosen a favorite piece of gear, an adjacent upgrade is often safer than a replacement.
