So what do you get a loved one this Christmas or New Year? I mean, look around, there's plenty to choose from - you could get them the new Moto or the new iPad Mini or whatever - but what you really want to do is for that special someone to remember that gift. Well, this list is meant for the gadget-savvy and if you know someone like that, you have to look no further....

FOR THE FOREVER STREAMER
Google Chromecast
PRICE
: Rs3,000
WHY BUY: Have a broadband internet connection and a WiFi router to boot? HDMi-ready TV, too? Well, that's just swell. Plug in the Chromecast and play everything from karaoke (several apps) to videos off YouTube (on your phone or WiFi-compatible computer). Well, you can try Netflix, Hulu and other services, but they aren't available in our country yet. It's not rocket science, set it up and you're ready to go. It's the hottest selling streaming device right now.

FOR THE FITNESS FREAK
Jawbone UP24
PRICE
: Rs6,500
WHY BUY: Sleek and stylish, this fitness and sleep tracker goes well with any attire, it's wireless and gently vibrates to wake you up or alert you if you've been sitting too long. And the accompanying software is beautiful, too. Just live better.

FOR THE TOUCH-STERS
TouchPico Projected Touchscreen
PRICE
: Rs28,000
WHY BUY: Its a tiny handheld projector. What's not to like? It turns any surface into a giant touchscreen, too. And you TV's too small for that video you're streaming or that Skype conversation you're having, just use the wall!

FOR THE LUCID DREAMER
Remee
PRICE
: Rs6,000
WHY BUY: After all that partying and good cheer, you're going to need to rest. And while you rest, you can dream of more goodies. Well, what this comfortable sleeping mask does for you is, it increases the frequency of your lucid dreams using customisable light patterns your dreaming mind can recognise. And what's more control what you dream. Think we're pulling your leg? It actually exists... and not khayaalon mein.
