Tech Gifts for Small Business That Won’t End Up in a Drawer

When it comes to holiday gifting, most tech items end up exactly where last year’s well-intended gadgets went: the office junk drawer. You know the one tangled cords, outdated USB drives, conference swag that stopped working within a week.

This year, choose tech gifts that people will actually use.

Whether your team works remotely, travels often, or juggles multiple devices every day, these practical tools make life easier and support real productivity.
