"So for my fellow last-minute scramblers, I polled Ars writers and editors for gift ideas they know will be solid because they've actually used them. As such, you'll find gift options below that Ars staffers have used enough to feel good about recommending. Further, I made sure all of these are available for delivery before Christmas as of today, at least where I live."
"Somehow, amazingly, we are still living in a split USB-C/USB-A world all these years later. No one's thrilled about it, but there's no end in sight. Some folks in the Apple ecosystem turn to Apple's first-party adapters, but there are two problems with them in my view: first, they're weirdly expensive, as you'd expect. And second, they're larger than they need to be."
"If you're on top of things and have already bought all your Christmas gifts, I commend you. Not all of us are so conscientious. In fact, one of us is so behind on holiday prep that he is not only running late on buying gifts; he's also behind on publishing the Ars staff gift guide he said he'd write. (Whoever could we be talking about?)"
Ars writers and editors collected tested gift recommendations that can be delivered before Christmas in many locations. The selections focus on gadgets and practical accessories that staffers have personally used and recommend. Each item includes a brief description of how it is used and why it is worth buying. Prices listed reflect the time of writing but may vary across retailers. The guide highlights affordable options under $50, such as tiny USB-A to USB-C adapter packs, and notes trade-offs in popular accessories, including cost and size differences between first-party and third-party adapters.
