Shopping for a gadget-lover, technology-obssessed friend or family member can be daunting. Especially if you yourself are so behind the times when it comes to the latest trend and must-have items. If you're stuck, here's some unique tech gifts that won't blow your budget.
1. Arcade machine
Depending on your budget, this can be as small or as big as you want. You could treat them to a desk-sized machine so they can procrastinate when working, or buy them a larger, vintage arcade machine that will make a great addition to their home.
