Tech-centric gift guides for everyone

THE DAILY CRUNCH
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22 2018 By Anthony Ha

It's Thanksgiving here in the U.S., which means there's not a whole lot of breaking news. But that also means the holiday shopping season is upon us, making this a good time to round up the latest TechCrunch gift guides. So here's your (gift-centric) Daily Crunch for November 22, 2018.

1. Black Friday tech deals that are actually pretty good

Black Friday is a nightmare — but if you're gonna do this, you might as well go in with some sort of game plan. Our advice? Stay inside and shop online where you can, be aware that most of the best deals are stocked in hilariously low quantities and don't be stubborn and buy some no-name Android tablet just because the sign says it's 80 percent off.

We've had roughly 4 billion Black Friday deal emails hit our inboxes over the last month. We've sifted through most of them to try to sort out the junk.

2. The best gear for that friend who wants to start a podcast

As interest in podcasting skyrockets, the barrier to entry is getting lower, with more microphones, gadgets and services hitting the market all the time. But unless you have an audio engineering degree, it can all be a bit overwhelming.

3. Ten suitcase-friendly gifts for frequent flyers

Rather than writing the standard Travel Guide or Holiday Gift Guide, we've opted to combine them into one. Because if there's one key to making the most out of your time on the road, it's efficiency.

4. The best security and privacy tech to keep your friends safe

Security is more front-of-mind today than ever before. If it's not a company vacuuming up your data or nation states trying to hack your email, it's your own "opsec" that needs a refresh.

5. Eleven picture perfect gifts for your photographer friends

Photographers are tricky to get gifts for because every one of them has preferences they may already have spent years indulging. But they have blind spots!

6. The ultimate guide to gifting STEM toys: tons of ideas for little builders

Educational playthings are nothing new, of course. But, in recent years, long-time toymakers and a flurry of new market entrants have piggybacked on the popularity of smartphones and apps, building connected toys for even the youngest kids.
