How to choose for a young adult
- Think about how they spend their days, like school, a first job, travel or making content, and choose gear for that.
- Pick a backpack with a padded laptop sleeve and enough pockets for daily commuting or weekend trips.
- Pick lighting or a tripod that matches the phone or camera they already use, and check that the mounts are compatible.
- For tech like smart glasses, confirm it works with their phone before buying, since compatibility varies.
Usually safe to skip
- Bulky décor, since many are in small rentals or moving often.
- Whitening products unless they've asked, as it can read as a comment on their smile.
- Novelty gadgets with no clear use, which tend to end up in a drawer.
