The Agenda 2018 Gift Guide, Week 4 // Gadgetry
By Andrew Meyers • Issue #81 • View online
Oh man, I love these weeks leading up to Christmas! Things are bit slow at the office, the holiday tunes are flowing freely, and vendors are dropping off more snacks than we know what to do with. It really is the most wonderful time of the year.
The gift guides continue, and this week we’re talking gadgetry — which is basically my name for awesome things that don’t belong to one of my other categories.
In case you missed them, here are the guides from the first three weeks:
➡️ Week 1 // Your Home Office
➡️ Week 2 // Around the House
➡️ Week 3 // All About Apple
See you next week!
—Andrew

➡️ Just a hunch, but I’m guessing you may be placing just a few Amazon Prime orders this holiday season. Feel like doing a good deed? Use this link when you shop on Amazon, and The Agenda will receive a small commission. Thank you!
Hey, I Wrote Something!™
Review: The Loog Pro Guitar
Okay, so it’s not exactly gadgetry, but this week I published a review of the Loog Pro Guitar. It’s a three-stringed guitar that lets kids and beginners learn the basics of playing the guitar while picking up chords that’ll transfer to a typical 6-string guitar. ($129)

This Week’s Guide: Gadgetry 🎄
I suppose I should have put this one in last week’s Apple guide! BentoStack is a beautifully designed container for all of your accessories from that fruit company out in Cupertino. The Charge version even has a wireless charger and 5000 mAh battery built into the top cover. ($100)

Well as Samsung puts it, The Frame is a TV when it’s on, and art when it’s off. It’s pretty stunning, actually, and it kind of reminds me of something we could have seen in Back to the Future: Part II. ($1197–$2497)

While I’m not all that convinced by Amazon’s Prime Video app for Apple TV, I do think they’re doing some amazing things with their first-party streaming hardware. And while you’re not going to get quite the performance of a dedicated box like the Apple TV 4K, you can’t beat the price. Plus the remote is way better. ($49)

I feel like I’m seven years old all over again, begging my parents for a Game Boy, only this time I’m a grown man. Third grade me would never have believed that Nintendo would one day make an NES plus a Game Boy, all-in-one. ($299)

A Keurig for draft beer? You have my attention. ($99)

My older model Paperwhite continues to be one of my all-time favorite gadgets, and the newest model looks quite nice as well. The latest edition is now waterproof (for all of your beach & poolside reading), plus it sports Bluetooth audio so you can listen to Audible books. ($139)

Video Doorbell Pro ∙ Ring
And speaking of Amazon, the company recently acquired Ring and their line of home security products. This top-of-the-line Video Doorbell Pro offers motion sensing, 1080p video, and two-way communication via the Ring app. ($249)
