Everyone loves getting gadgets for the holidays. They're nice. They're expensive. You didn't have to buy them. But listen, if you're getting someone a gadget, I'd recommend doing one more thing: get a case, too. Not because you think they're gonna drop it, but because the case is what'll make it personal — you'll have to pick out something that more precisely speaks to the recipient's tastes.

Heads up though: a lot of fancy and custom cases have longer shipping times, so you'd better head to Etsy soon.
