Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4

When it comes to fun and most unique gift ideas, the Z Fold4 can't be beat. Definitely not your '90s flip-phone, this cool gift will unfold a world of possibilities thanks to its sleek 6.2-inch cover display that unfolds to a tablet-like 7.6-inch 120Hz edge-to-edge Dynamic AMOLED 2X Infinity Flex screen. Multiple windows make it a great choice for multitaskers! For example, they can take notes while attending a virtual meeting, or text friends while streaming their favorite content. Hands-free selfies, photos or videos are easy with the Flex Mode Camera. Plus, it has a tough water- and scratch-resistant design they can enjoy on-the-go.

Another ultra-cool tool, the Z Flip4 is small and compact but transforms into a large 6.7" Infinity Flex display with 120 HZ refresh rate. When they want to check notifications, send a text, play the next tune or change settings - they can do without ever unfolding the phone. Just like the Z Fold4, they can also capture moments on-the-go with the Flex Mode feature.

Got an Apple lover to shop for? This smart, simple, magnetic car mount keeps their iPhone 12 (and later) at their fingertips without taking up space in the cup holder.

Powerful sound and a snug, comfy fit make these noise-cancelling earbuds perfect for just about any activity, from workdays to workouts. Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) continuously optimizes sound output - and when it's important to be aware of their surroundings - they can easily switch to Transparency mode. They'll get instant one-touch pairing, Automatic Switching, Audio Sharing and hands-free "Hey Siri" for Apple devices. If they're Android users, they can connect via Class 1 Bluetooth right out of the box. They come with a pocketable charging case, ear tips in three different sizes and USB-C to USB-C charging cable.

If someone in your family likes technology and wants to stay connected - but doesn't need all the bells and whistles of a higher-end smartwatch - this is for them.
