In fact, you may easily surprise someone with astounding tech gifts for as low as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/10-best-tech-gifts-under-20\/\">$20<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/tech-gifts-under-50\/\">$50<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/gifts-under-100\/\">$100<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll up the ante further, though, by saying that you don\u2019t even need to buy anybody <em>anything<\/em> this holiday season! If there\u2019s anybody you know who isn\u2019t as tech-savvy as you, we bet they\u2019ll be grateful if you offer them the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-get-somebody-s-devices-working-right\">Get Somebody&#8217;s Devices Working Right<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the newest laptops and mobile phones are bound to bump into problems sooner or later. When they do, we\u2019re sure some of your friends or family members would be clueless about what to do besides finding a replacement device. Save them from spending more than they should during the holidays by helping them sort out what\u2019s wrong with their gadgets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>For starters, you could help properly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/how-to-connect-a-printer-windows-10\/\">connect a printer to a Windows 10 computer<\/a> when they\u2019re having trouble getting the equipment to work. It may seem trivial, but <strong>taking care of printer-related dilemmas<\/strong> is still quite common today.<\/li><li>Has a family member been an unfortunate victim of the latest data breach at Yahoo? Why not <strong>help them switch to a better, more secure email client<\/strong>? The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/switch-from-yahoo-mail\/\">switch to a new email<\/a> may not seem much to you, but the process could overwhelm average users. Plus, you make sure the internet is a safer place for all netizens.<\/li><li>Laptop batteries are fragile components. If a friend\u2019s notebook shuts down even on a full charge, its battery could be dying. Put your techie skills to the ultimate test and help your old pal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/checking-laptop-battery-life\/\">check and preserve their laptop\u2019s battery<\/a>. We\u2019re sure they\u2019d appreciate you <strong>looking after their prized notebook<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By doing these tasks for friends and family this Christmas, you\u2019re undoubtedly doing them a BIG favor. Don&#8217;t overthink the simple things in life that can make someone&#8217;s day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-give-someone-s-gadgets-a-much-needed-spa-treatment\">Give Someone&#8217;s Gadgets a Much-Needed Spa Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond aesthetics, cleaning your devices&#8217; hardware keeps them in tip top shape. Do the same for your loved ones and their beloved iPhones, tablets, and Macs will surely last longer. It\u2019s definitely a way to get them and their devices ready for whatever the new year brings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>We\u2019re sure your friend or family member has a drawer full of cables hiding somewhere. Do they need all those cables lying around? Probably not, but they&#8217;re not sure which ones they&#8217;re supposed to keep. <strong>Untangle their cable mess<\/strong> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/old-cables\/\">sorting out cables<\/a> they\u2019ll need from those they should probably discard. Think of it as the modern day version of mowing somebody\u2019s lawn.<\/li><li>Spring-cleaning doesn\u2019t only apply to physical spaces. You can do the same for your office mate\u2019s malware-infested desktop, too. Revive their worn down computer this holiday season by helping them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/get-rid-of-a-virus\/\">get rid of a virus<\/a>&nbsp;and speed up their computer. Trust us\u2014<strong>cleaning machines from the inside<\/strong> will shockingly boost it, performance-wise.<\/li><li>Speaking of cleaning, dusting off your sibling\u2019s Mac is miles better than wrapping him\/her another boring sweater this Christmas. Sure, they can do this themselves, but your techie know-how will come in handy when a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/clean-your-computer\/\">thorough PC hardware cleanup<\/a> is necessary. We can\u2019t emphasize enough how <strong>properly<\/strong> <strong>cleaning computers<\/strong> can speed them up immensely.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of us don\u2019t have enough time for some serious elbow grease. Sadly, letting dust, grime, and dirt accumulate on your devices could make them go from sluggish to serious slowpokes. Don\u2019t let this happen to your closest buddies by helping them clean up their gadgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-make-everybody-s-gizmos-better\">Make Everybody&#8217;s Gizmos Better<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the people dearest to you may own the latest Roku media or most powerful Wi-Fi routers. You\u2019ll be surprised, though, at how little these people know about making the most of such magnificent technology. Offer them the gift of knowledge in this season for giving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If your pal is plagued by a sluggish Wi-Fi connection at home, share your knowledge on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/boost-wi-fi-connection\/\">how to boost Wi-Fi instantly<\/a>. This benefits your friend and you, as you get to enjoy your newest devices at their fastest speeds. In only a few steps, you can get your WiFi zooming.<\/li><li>There\u2019s more to your Roku than using it to watch your favorite TV series. I&nbsp;bet your boss doesn\u2019t know that just yet. Why not brush on your boss&#8217;s good side by telling them&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/10-clever-ways-to-use-roku\/\">clever ways to use their Roku<\/a>? Just don\u2019t mention the word \u201cpromotion\u201d as you\u2019re <strong>sharing<\/strong> <strong>how<\/strong> <strong>to maximize streaming devices<\/strong>.<\/li><li>A slow phone is a bane to every mobile device user. Give your girlfriend the gift of sanity by <strong>speeding up her Android phone for free<\/strong>. You can get on her good side just by downloading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/apps-speed-up-your-android-phone\/\">apps to speed up any Android device<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Most techies probably obsess about making every gadget run optimally. This Christmas, we can put this obsession to good use by sharing our vast techie know-how to our technology-challenged loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of wrapping a truckload of presents, why not be a gift yourself? Not only would you save more money, but you also cement your reputation as the most lovable geek around!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve said it countless times before, you don\u2019t need a wad of cash to make somebody happy this Christmas.
