The Tech Report's 2016 Christmas gift guide

Despite the rise of machine-learning and other artificial-intelligence tools, it only seems to get harder and harder to find just the right gifts for the nerd in your life. We on the TR staff know just how hard to both pick gifts for our favorite techies and to have gifts picked out for us. That's why we're continuing our annual tradition of compiling the unusual, the useful, and the delightful items that we've used in the past year. Whatever your budget, we've got something for the nerd in your life. Our gift guide is sponsored by Newegg.
