The Verge’s 2024 Holiday Gift Guide
As the holiday season approaches, we’ve curated a list of the most innovative and practical gifts for your loved ones (and yourself, because you deserve it too). This year, our gift guide features an eclectic mix of high-tech gadgets, outdoor essentials, and creative outlets. From Anker’s MagGo Power Bank to Campster II chair, we’ve got you covered.
Anker’s MagGo Power Bank ($39.99+ Amazon)
Not all 3-in-1 chargers are built strictly for home use. Anker’s MagGo Power Bank is roughly the size of a deck of cards and unfolds to charge a MagSafe-equipped iPhone, an Apple Watch, and a pair of AirPods simultaneously. It also leverages the newer Qi2 wireless standard, allowing you to take advantage of 15W charging speeds when using an iPhone 12 or newer.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard ($39.99+ Amazon)
BioWare has finally redeemed themselves with Dragon Age: The Veilguard, a redemption story for the studio’s most loyal fans. This action-packed RPG is anchored in gorgeous environments, deep lore, and a nuanced cast of characters that would give those from previous Dragon Age titles a run for their money.
Peak Design Outdoor Backpack (25L) ($249.95+ B&H Photo)
Peak Design’s first backpack was great, but its latest offering takes it to the next level. The frameless 25L pack looks at home on the trail and at the gym, making it an excellent choice for both outdoor enthusiasts and fitness enthusiasts alike.
Milwaukee M12 Fuel Hammer Drill ($149+ ACME Tools)
Sometimes a screwdriver just won’t cut it. Luckily, Milwaukee’s cordless M12 Fuel Hammer Drill is built for such occasions. The compact drill is one of the shortest models in its class, boasting a larger 0.5-inch metal chuck that gives it some serious power when paired with larger drill bits.
Campster II Chair ($109 Sitpack)
The Sitpack Campster II is proof you get what you pay for. This lightweight camping chair isn’t cheap, but it’s rated for 300 pounds and touts a collapsible one-piece design that’s as easy to set up as it is to pack down.
CMYK’s Wavelength Board Game ($29.99+ Amazon)
Think you and your giftee are on the same wavelength? CMYK’s outstanding board game is one way to find out. The simple premise has you guessing where your partner thinks a specific word or topic fits between two diametric ends of a spectrum, which can be incredibly difficult depending on how well you know your teammate.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024) Review: Slightly Larger, Slightly Faster, Slightly Better
We didn’t forget the bookworms this holiday season. Amazon’s Kindle Paperwhite is still an excellent choice for those who prefer their reading digital.
If you’re looking to gift something more unique, we recommend Sony’s WH-1000XM4 headphones at a discounted price.
