Christmas will always be the season of giving, but it's also the best time of year for receiving the latest and greatest tech gadgets. Once my shopping is done, I always make sure I provide a few hints to family and friends about "what's cool" and hope that they get the hint. If you'd like to do the same, you won't be disappointed by adding any of these items to your list the help out Santa this year:

Tile - the world's largest lost and found
4 tiles = $59.85 (BUY)
Do you have a habit of misplacing everyday items every day? Tile helps you locate those things using your cell phone and a bluetooth signal. You simply place a tag on the item, for example in the change compartment of your wallet, and forget about it. The app works to pinpoint any of the tags in seconds, and works without any need to charge it. Each tile works for about a year, and then you simply replace them. Just make sure your phone isn't the thing you're losing or none of this will work out too well!
