The second season of Mr. Robot didn’t quite live up to the high-flying techno-dystopian vision of the first, but you know what? That’s okay! You can just watch the first again. A show this layered makes for great repeat Blu-ray viewing, or better yet, get it for someone who somehow hasn't yet met fsociety.

It’s hard to justify spending this much on a remote control for yourself, but that’s also what makes it the perfect holiday indulgence. Logitech’s Harmony Companion offers easy set-up, commands all manner of devices, and makes home theater control a totally frictionless experience. $143

Garmin has made terrific activity trackers for years, but in 2016 it created one that also happens to look like a very handsome traditional watch. The Vivomove tracks both your steps and how long you've been sitting still on the watch face, and syncs with a smartphone app for more robust readings. You can still pick up the "classic" version, with a leather wristband, in time for Christmas if you move fast. $100

Okay, so batteries sound like they should rank somewhere between “socks” and “Dilbert mug” in terms of exciting Christmas gifts. But these aren’t any batteries! These are batteries that will mean you never have to buy more batteries again. Or at least, not for a long, long time. Eneloop is the first and last name in rechargeable energy, and in the long run they’ll get more use out of this starter pack than anything else under the tree.

Bose knows noise-cancellation. And luckily, its new wireless QuietComfort 35 headphones don't skip a trick. Not only that, but these are the first Bose noise-canceling cans that also produce better-than-average sounds when playing music.

Great website, great book. That’s pretty much all you need to know about Atlas Obscura, a collection of the world’s most special, secret, extraordinary places. Even if you don’t visit all of its gems, just knowing they exist will enrich your world. It won't be available on Amazon until the 27th, but your local brick and mortar bookstore hopefully has a copy or two in stock. $18

Amazon Prime remains one of the best deals in tech---and it's also what's going to save your bacon this holiday season if you're already a member. Its free two-day shipping will get the good there in time, but it also includes access to Amazon Video, Amazon Prime Music, photo storage, and more. A year costs $99.
