Your kids' teachers, the mail carrier, third cousins several times removed — simple gifts will do the trick for many people in your circle. But your tech-obsessed best friend or significant other? They deserve more than the standard sweater or gift basket.
Even if you still think Bluetooth is some kind of magic, it's still possible to find a holiday gift that will delight even the most sophisticated techie without blowing your entire budget. You just have to know where to look — namely, a department store with a wide variety of brands and products, like Kohl's. Even better, every time you spend $50 or more, you'll earn $10 in Kohl's Cash during earning periods. Here's what to buy for the friend who knows everything about the latest software release — and how to score a free stocking stuffer using Kohl's Cash while you're at it.
