You know that drawer in your office — the one stuffed with old USB drives, tangled earbuds, and half-forgotten gadgets from past conferences at the Greater Richmond Convention Center? That's where most "tech gifts" go to die. Within a month, they're forgotten under a pile of stress balls and power banks that never really worked.
But this year, you can give something people actually use — especially your remote staff, traveling team members, and administrators who keep things running across the Richmond business community.
Here are the tech gifts Richmond-area professionals say truly made work life easier this year.
For Remote Workers: Upgrade Their Home Office
High-Quality Webcam ($100-$150)
Built-in laptop webcams rarely do anyone any favors. A good external webcam instantly improves professionalism on video calls — something Richmond executives and client-facing staff rely on daily.
Our pick: Logitech Brio 4K
Why they'll love it:
Sharper video = better client impressions. It's the type of upgrade people want but rarely buy for themselves.
Desktop Monitor Light Bar ($50-$90)
A simple tool that quietly improves every workday. Perfect for professionals working from home offices from Short Pump to Mechanicsville.
Our pick: BenQ ScreenBar
Why they'll love it:
Better lighting, less eye strain, more focus — no desk clutter.
Wireless Keyboard ($120-$180)
For anyone who spends half their day typing emails, briefs, documentation, or client notes, a premium keyboard is a game-changer.
Our pick: Logitech MX Mechanical
Why they'll love it:
It makes typing… enjoyable. That's rare.
For Frequent Travelers: Make the Road Easier
Compact Power Bank With Built-In Cables ($90-$120)
Great for people constantly on the move to client sites, supplier visits, or partner meetings across Central Virginia.
Our pick: Anker Laptop Power Bank
Why they'll love it:
No cord digging, no dead-phone panic. It just works.
Noise-Canceling Earbuds ($200-$350)
Perfect for business travelers who take calls from the RIC Airport, hotel lobbies, or coworking spaces downtown like Gather or Venture X.
Our picks:
• Apple AirPods Pro 3
• Sony WF-1000XM5
Why they'll love it:
Chaos disappears. Focus returns.
Portable Laptop Stand ($40-$90)
A great ergonomic fix for anyone who works on the go.
Our pick: Roost Laptop Stand
Why they'll love it:
Less neck pain, better posture, better work quality — especially during long client days.
For the "I Have Everything" Client
High-End Tech Organizer ($50-$100)
If your clients juggle multiple devices and cables, this is the gift they'll appreciate every time they travel.
Our pick: Bellroy Tech Kit
Why they'll love it:
Every cable finally has a home.
Smart Notebook System ($35-$40)
Great for leaders who prefer handwriting but still want everything digitized for security and organization.
Our pick: Rocketbook Fusion
Why they'll love it:
Old-school feel, new-school convenience. A favorite for attorneys and administrators.
For Your Entire Team (Budget-Friendly)
Portable Phone Sanitizer ($60-$90)
Phones collect everything. This fixes that — and charges them at the same time.
Our pick: PhoneSoap 3
Why they'll love it:
Clean device, charged battery, happy employee. A popular choice among Richmond admin teams since COVID.
Tech Gifts to Avoid
• Cheap USB drives
• Generic Bluetooth speakers
• Fitness trackers (awkward messaging)
• Smart home devices (too personal)
• Low-quality wireless chargers
The Simple Rule
The best tech gifts solve real problems and improve daily work — especially for Central Virginia businesses focused on productivity and client service.
A $50 light bar used every day beats a $200 gadget that ends up collecting dust.
