Copy Cat Chic Gift Guide | Gifts for the Techie and a Giveaway

Day two of our Copy Cat Chic gift guides! Today is all about the tech 🙂 Man this one was hard to narrow down. There’s some really fun tech toys out there right now!

 

one | ZULI PLUG
You might have already seen a glimpse of this bad boy on Instagram. Love these plugs. You plug them into any three-prong outlet and then plug the usual into them. AND whatever you plug into the Zuli plug you can control by an app on your phone. Yessss, that’s right.
two | UP MOVE 
Everyone seems to be wearing a health/fit tracker of some sort. I like this one because it’s not obscenely expensive and it still looks cute.
three | TRACKR
I lose my keys…or my phone probably at least twice a week. It’s so fun, just ask the Mr who is always waiting for me while I’m frantically tearing the house apart looking for them. This little button attaches to pretty much anything and helps you find it by either using a special ring or by crowd GPS. I can think of many, many uses for this. Can’t you?
four | RINGLY 
How fun is this ring? Not only is it chic looking, but it serves a purpose. It can notify you of incoming emails and texts on your iphone using subtle vibration and light patterns. Pretty cool huh? Now instead of checking your iphone for new mail or messages, you can chill and drink your cup of joe with friends in peace without worrying you’ll miss an important email.
 
These are a staple in my household. My office is in the living room. That means every night when the Mr is binge watching his latest show (it’s Doctor Who right now btw), I can put these beauts on and listen to some smooth beats without getting all caught up in the cords (total pet peeve).
 
six | POLAROID ZIP 
I posted about this before, but I really love this fast little photo machine. It really would make the perfect gift. There are so many uses for the fast photos it spits out. The kids especially love it!
 
seven | SONOS PLAY
We have several of these around the house. Love ’em. They’re so versatile and the sound quality is awesome. You can control them using the Sonos app on your phone which means you can use any music service possible (spotify, itunes, pandora, sirius, etc.). Also you can group them together and use them as surround sound speakers or use them separately and have each one play a different station in each room. They’re small and unobtrusive.
Yay for another giveaway! Today’s giveaway is hosted by Zuli Smartplugs. One lucky reader will win a Presence Pack (3 smartplugs) worth $160. Enter using the Rafflecopter widget below!

    I feel so behind the times that I didn't know about half these gadgets! The smartplug has to be the coolest!

    Those plugs are too cool! I love the peace of mind of being able to control things when you aren't home. We really need to start bringing our house into the 21st century…

    My favorite gift from the list would be the Zuli plug for my husband. He's an electric-car-driving, obsessive-thermostat-adjusting, energy conservation king. These would be right up his alley. Though I'm sure he'd end up wanting to end up using them for EVERY plug ?. My ideal use would be for the sound machine in our baby's room – I hate when I forget to turn it on and have to try to open the door quietly and sneak in to turn it on – an app to turn it on from outside the room would be a nap-saver!

  15. SandyD says

    I'd love the Zuli plug or the Sonos speaker. Just starting to "techie" up my house and these would both be incredibly handy. And I'd never heard of the Zuli plug 'til now!

  37. Jane says

    Need the Zulu Smart Plugs but want the ring. Thanks for letting us know about all bthis technology.

  44. Mel says

    Great gift lineup! I would definitely want the headphones for the same reason you use them. I get so tired of TV noise at my house ?

  50. Kathryn Morris says

    I've been eyeing Ringly since it came out. It's totally my style and I love the idea of being out and not having my phone on the table- and still not missing out on calls and notifications. Very cool!

    Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

    Hard to decide between the Ringly and the Polaroid Zip, but I'm seriously leaning toward the Polaroid Zip!

  • Currently drooling over this decked out entry way by @alainakaz. The brass bells on the leather strap add the perfect touch of holiday charm to the door. We did some sleuthing to find an affordable version and found just the thing! 💕@audrey_spear https://www.copycatchic.com/2019/12/daily-find-neiman-marcus-belsnickel-bells.html
  • It’s beginning to look a lot like…🎄 over here! We bought our tree last weekend! It’s up…and still naked 😜 But I’ve been working on getting little pockets of the house decorated here and there. #ad Our dining nook is one of my favorite places to style now. That shiplap makes everything look good. 👌🏼 I added these cute Christmas accessories from @Kirklands and now all of a sudden it’s festive enough to start playing Christmas music! I’m loving 🔔 this season, and I’m seriously loving this jingle bell garland. I have a few of them, which will go on the tree, but I really love how this one looks right here. And this “Merry Christmas” letterboard is so perfectly modern farmhouse, am I right? I don’t usually like to buy a lot of holiday decor unless I really, really love it, since I don’t want to have to store it. But these are all new favorites that I can see working well year over year.
  • Let the festivities commence! Revived the ole' annual Christmas Cookie exchange party 🎉 I used to host one every year. Not sure why we stopped since it's always a big hit - especially for those kids 😜! #ad @WorldMarket made is super easy on me this year, as I was able to find everything I needed at one store (even the cookies 🤫). Always the best, especially with the holiday rush. As you can see we're all prepped and ready to go over here! I shared some more of my cookie exchange tips over on the blog (as well as more pics!) So head over and take a look ☺️ 🌲🍪🎁 https://www.copycatchic.com/2019/12/holiday-cookie-exchange-party-with-world-market.html #DiscoverWorldMarket #WMAffiliate #cookieexchange —————————— A few sources: http://liketk.it/2HQMn @liketoknow.it #liketkit
  • Large scale lamps are stunners in any space, and @Amberinteriors knocked it out of the park with this one! https://www.copycatchic.com/2019/12/daily-find-layla-grayce-freeman-table-lamp.html
  • We LOVE these sleek, architectural wall lamps in any room, especially when they can be brought home for half the price! Inspo from @thelifestyledco https://www.copycatchic.com/2019/12/daily-find-stuff-by-andrew-neyer-swing-dome-light.html
  • Happy December! We love the subtle holiday touch on the bedside of @alainakaz. It works so well with her simple, streamlined headboard, which is today's find! 💕@audrey_spear https://www.copycatchic.com/2019/12/daily-find-candelabra-gabby-sloan-headboard.html
