We had quite a few lists [1] to slip in Santa's pocket during the holiday season, so we're not mad that a few things may have been forgotten. Here, the tech goodies that may put new gift cards to fast use.
Hex Travel Bag With Tech Pockets
Found: a way to minimize bags for weekend travel. The Hex Division Overnight Travel Bag [2] ($130) does double-duty; it's a weekender that also provides sturdy, safe storage for your tech gear. Two front pockets are padded to support tablets or ereaders along with chargers and cords, and a back exterior pocket fits up to a 15-inch laptop. Plus, there's that cute print to top it all off!

National Geographic Photography Collection
You need look no further than National Geographic's Instagram [3] feed and its many incredible photography competitions [4] to know that the publication knows a thing or two about capturing Earth and its many inhabitants in awe-inspiring photos. The National Geographic: Around the World in 125 Years [5] ($499) set brings over a century of the magazine's most memorable photos into one edition. Not just a coffee table book, this is a keepsake.

R2-D2 Keyboard
Beep boop beep. That's the sound of you being superproductive while typing away with the help of a favorite droid on the R2-D2 Laser Keyboard [6] ($235). Hide this droid, er, keyboard anywhere you go, and connect it to a device via Bluetooth. And yes, it really does make classic R2 sounds.

Hashtag This Art Print
This Hashtag This art print [7] ($5) is cheeky, hilarious, and the perfect addition to my bedroom's bare walls.

Sure, January is about resolutions and inspiration and all that jazz, but can we just admit that the month after the holidays is a little meh? This Alpaca phone case [8] ($35-$38) will have me smiling until things pick up again.

Everything about this Sonic Ostrich Tablet Satchel [9] ($40) is so chic, I would wear it out even when it's not protecting my tech.
