Thanksgiving Day is a public holiday in the United States and Canada, occurring on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States and the second Monday in October in Canada. In the United States and Canada, Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. Thanksgivings in America usually involve family gatherings and the consumption of turkey.
In addition to turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie are often served as the traditional Thanksgiving feast. Add some apple cider, wine, or beer and you have all the makings for a perfect holiday. What’s not to love about that?
But if you’re looking for something different this year, why not ditch the turkey and trimmings in favor of a tech-infused Thanksgiving? Here are some of the best tech gifts to give thanks for this holiday season.
Smartphones
Give thanks for the gift of a smartphone this Thanksgiving. Whether you’re using an iPhone, Android, or Windows phone, there are plenty of apps, games, and other content to keep you entertained throughout the holiday. Not to mention, you can stay connected with family and friends via social media, texting, and video chat.
Tablets
A tablet makes a great gift for anyone who loves spending time online, playing games, watching movies, or reading books. With a built-in camera, microphone, and speakers, a tablet is perfect for video chatting with distant family and friends. And with a variety of apps available, you can do everything from keeping up with the news to checking your bank balance.
Computers
For the ultimate in tech-infused Thanksgiving fun, give the gift of a computer. A desktop, laptop, or even a Chromebook will let you surf the web, stream movies and TV shows, play games, and do just about anything else you can think of.
