At Christmas and New Year, I want to please my family and friends with nice surprises. We have selected several interesting and useful gadgets that will be appreciated by all categories of the population. For different tastes and wallets, as well as for modern realities: power banks, charging stations, lamps, lanterns, warm gloves, e-books, laptops, smartphones and much more.

A laptop with good autonomy

ITC editors have made a relevant selection of laptops that will please their owner with long battery life.

A laptop in which the battery lasts at least 10 hours will be more relevant than ever before. Apple MacBook with M1 and M2 chips should be highlighted among the best models. They provide unprecedented autonomy and speed at the level of powerful stationary PCs.

For those looking for cheaper options, you can pay attention to chromebooks or laptops with economic Intel Pentium/Celeron, AMD Athlon. For example, in the Prologix M15-710, a 37 W * h battery allows you to work for 10-15 hours.

A smartphone with good autonomy

A power bank is good, but it is better when the smartphone itself “keeps the battery” well. We have already considered the following phones and made a rating, which we offer readers to familiarize themselves with:

A new smartphone is always a nice New Year’s gift. The package does not necessarily have to include the elite iPhone 14 Pro Max, because there are other smartphones with good autonomy. You should also listen to useful tips that will help preserve the charge of your device.

Power bank 30000 mAh

Portable chargers are more relevant than ever. Anyone will be happy with such a gift. The large Baseus Power Bank 30000mAh has enough capacity for 5-6 phone charging cycles.

The output power is up to 15 W. PD, FCP, QC fast charging technology is supported. There are 4 connectors in total: 2 USB A, Micro USB and USB Type C. You can connect up to three devices to it at the same time. For its price, this is one of the best models with a capacity of 30 Ah.

Finger batteries with charger

Every home has a device that works on finger batteries, the prices of which have increased significantly. With frequent use, it is much more profitable to purchase AA or AAA finger batteries.

A set of 4 such rechargeable batteries is an inexpensive and practical New Year’s gift. With the help of such batteries, you can power a clock, radio, garlands, lamps, flashlights, etc. This solution will quickly pay for itself in relation to disposable batteries.

Charging station

For those for whom a power bank is not enough, we offer a slightly more serious option. Could there be a better charging station gift before the end of 2022? The compact model CTECHi GT200 240Wh at a reasonable price (less than 14 thousand) will be a nice surprise under the Christmas tree. You can charge any device from it.

The golden mean in the world of charging stations. EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro 768Wh is powerful enough to power several undemanding 220 V appliances, charge laptops, tablets, phones, power banks, etc. Solar panels and other accessories of the EcoFlow brand can be connected to the charging station.

The manufacturer has proven himself well on the market and has excellent reviews. One of the best New Year’s gifts.

The most powerful Jackery Explorer Pro 2160Wh can replace a small gasoline generator. Power up to 2200 W, two 220 V sockets and weight more than 20 kg. An expensive but very functional gift that will be useful for the whole family.

Flashlights and lamps

A simple and economical XO Y1 lamp that will serve as a portable night light. Its light will not be enough to engage in embroidery or reading. But this USB lamp will allow you to navigate in the room and not bump your little finger on the furniture. The device is powered by a power bank.

A classic model with a built-in 3800 mA battery. The Power Style 910 travel lantern will definitely come in handy in such a difficult time. A powerful diode is installed inside. Coverage range up to 550 meters. There is a function of adjusting the optical flow (focusing at a certain distance).

Another tourist model that can replace stationary lighting. Built-in stand, carrying handle, tilt adjustment, powerful LED. Work Lamp PR 580 also has IP65 protection level. The maximum power is 30 W. Built-in battery 4800 mAh. You can charge it from the network, which will take several hours.

Autonomous 4G modem

For most users, the quality of communication on a mobile phone leaves much to be desired. The speed drops quite a bit during peak hours. 4G routers have much stronger receivers. EvdoLink EL910 allows you to connect an external antenna. With it, the signal transmission speed will be much better than on a mobile phone. An autonomous laptop and a 4G modem are a great comfort until the end of 2022.

EBook

What to do when the electricity is turned off? Reading is perhaps the best way to spend free time. E-book has a big advantage over classic LED/LCD screens. Reading from a phone or tablet is a mockery of your eyesight.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 11th Gen has a display based on electronic ink, which means that it will not tire your eyes during long reading. The diagonal of the screen is 6.8 inches, and the resolution is 1072×1448. An excellent gift for lovers of self-development and useful pastime.

Radio

An aesthetic and functional radio receiver that will fit into any interior. Philips TAR3205 has a built-in clock and knows how to wake up the owner every morning. The device is powered by mains or AAA batteries. When the power goes out, you can turn on the AM/FM radio to listen to news or music. A nice gift for little money, which will definitely suit its owner.

Heated gloves

It is important not to freeze your hands and feet. For those who spend a lot of time in the cold (for one reason or another), a good gift will be professional heated gloves. They are powered by a power bank. The surprise will be appreciated by those who are forced to work for a long time in cold conditions.

There are also much cheaper household gloves. They can be connected to a laptop or a power bank. Fingers remain free, so nothing will interfere with work at the laptop. A gift that gives warmth to loved ones in every sense of the word.

Conclusions

It is important to congratulate your relatives and friends. It is not necessary to spend a lot of money, because the very fact of attention already means a lot. Sometimes a little thing is enough for a good mood and positivity. The ITC editors have offered the most relevant surprises that will be useful to anyone.
