3. Tech Gear and Gadgets
Do you have a tech junkie in your life who geeks out on all the latest gadgets? They’re the ones who are already on a waiting list for the next brand new shiny toy before it hits the stores. They can spout off release dates of the new Apple products and detail how they’ve changed from last year’s model. This breed is pretty hard to keep up with and admittedly, very intimidating to shop for.

4. Bibliophiles
Is someone on your gift list a bookworm? Or perhaps you, yourself, are devoted to all things literary? If books, libraries, and bookstores are a big part of the life of your gift recipient – or if you’re looking for a treat for yourself – we’ve got some ideas for you.

Conventional wisdom would dictate that the perfect gift for a bibliophile is what else, but… a book. Although that’s hardly a no-brainer, unless you know the gift recipient’s favorite authors and genres. And even then, there’s no guarantee that your gift isn’t already on their bookshelf or nightstand.
Instead, we’ve come up with some book-adjacent gifts for that special bookworm in your life that will demonstrate your thoughtfulness and creativity. And for the bookworms themselves, these gifts will add a new luxurious dimension to their reading experience, whether at home in a cozy chair or on the go. Have a look here.
5. Film Buffs

Our luxury gift guide of what to buy that best suits the pastimes, hobbies and passions for everyone on your list this holiday.
Do you know someone who is absolutely obsessed with movies? Maybe this person follows all the latest news from behind the scenes. Maybe they attend film festivals and read reviews. They may even want to make films themselves.
If like some people, you personally don’t share that passion, you may be at a bit of a loss for what to give the budding director or cineaste in your life when gift-giving time rolls around. Whether its for a birthday, holiday gift, or to mark some other special occasion, fear not. We’ve got lots of ideas for you, here.
6. Music
Music lovers are a fun bunch to have around. They always have entertaining stories that start with “I went to this concert once where…” And if you’re ever at a loss for what to do on a Saturday night, they can be trusted to offer a suggestion to a live music venue you’ve never heard of. Fortunately, this makes up for all the times they laugh and correct your butchered lyrics to that pop song!
