1 MiFi 200 and Network Extender
This super-cool gadget from Verizon Wireless is one of the best gadgets to buy your boyfriend for Christmas.

2 Altec Lansing Orbit MP3 Speaker
This small, portable speaker is funky and easy on the eye - it looks as good as it sounds! Great for laptops and tablets, it provides bright, clear sound without too much bass, so it's the perfect choice for watching movies and TV when the sound from your device's speakers is too low.
3 Weye Feye
If you're looking for the perfect gadget for photography buffs, stop right there! I'm so in love with this nifty little gadget by Xsories that I may even end up with one for myself! It transforms your Android or iOS device (or laptop) into a wireless remote for your Canon or Nikon DSLR camera. You can remotely adjust your aperture, focus, white balance and more from 80ft away and shoot photos or video remotely.
4 Google Chromecast
This little device is still quite expensive in the UK, but if you're in the US you should be able to pick it up for a reasonable price on Amazon. Simply plug it into your TV's HDMI socket (it's powered by USB) and you can stream YouTube, Netflix, Play Store videos and more to your TV from your PC, Android or iOS device! This will come in handy when he finds himself stuck at his relatives' house on Christmas day!
5 Olloclip
For those photography fans who haven't yet invested in a DSLR, this tiny iPhone lens now features 4 lenses in 1 - fisheye, 10x macro, 15x macro and wide-angle - so you can shoot away to your heart's content and have fun experimenting with the different lenses. Compatible with iPhone 4/4S and 5/5S, this will keep him busy for hours!
6 Philips Senseo
Personally, I would love if somebody bought me a coffee machine for Christmas - it's a great, time saving gadget for coffee fans. The Senseo is a pod-based machine which is not only cute and stylish, it's also compact, affordable and it can brew 2 cups at once. Which is perfect for long, lazy weekends at his place.
7 PS4
It was inevitable that Sony's Playstation 4 would make this list really - it's top of my man's Christmas wishlist, and I'm sure loads of guys would love to unwrap this under the tree on Christmas morning! With loads of exciting new games being released, this next-gen console features cutting edge technology and is going to sell out fast this year - so make sure you get your hands on one!
Just writing about all these gadgets has left me wanting more - I think it's fair to say I'm a bit of a gadget geek.
