As the culmination of 2020 approaches, it’s an opportune time to reflect. Although this year was defined by social isolation and remote working we should continue to think about the friends, family, and co-workers in our lives who we are grateful and thankful to have.
Although it can be difficult to find a way to truly articulate that sentiment — it would be a great time to give them something amazing to show them how amazing they are. When it comes to cool tech gifts there are as many options out there as there are preferences. That is why our friends at Kensington have been promoting holiday gifts with a focus on the ongoing work/learn from home environment:
