Have you taken a good, long look at your holiday shopping list? It probably has more tech items on it than you might have realized. AT&T Experts said tech gifts are topping searches this year. They went a step further in a study and looked at the top shopping searches in each state.
Gaming is a major theme. The Sony PlayStation 5 is the most sought-after buy in 15 states, but unless Santa himself intervenes, it won’t be under many Christmas trees—it’s spent several seasons being perpetually sold out. Those who want the new OLED Nintendo Switch (a top item in seven states) will also run into trouble, since it’s not widely available. (If the Switch is an item on your list, whether for yourself or someone else, PCMag has some suggestions for cases for it if you luck out.)
Apple products are always popular, and that hasn’t changed this year: AirPods are trending in five states and iPads in seven.
Since it’s a season of feasts, cooking gadgets can be put to good use instantly. That may be the thinking behind the Instant Pot, still a hot item in Idaho and New Hampshire.
At PCMag we’re not too surprised that tech gifts are trending, since we’ve been working away writing up guides for everyone on your list. Those include ones for pricey gifts, not at all pricey gifts, fitness gifts, gifts for women and men, and gifts for when the supply chain won’t deliver.
