In 2018, it’s a safe bet that several items on your loved ones’ holiday wish lists come in telltale rectangular boxes and include chargers. If you want to be remembered as a thoughtful gift-giver, you simply can’t go wrong with the digital device route. Thankfully, Best Buy is here to lend a hand when it comes to selecting the perfect tech accessory for that special someone.

This year, instead of fretting over the various “buckets” of recipients — “the golf aficionado” or “the frequent traveler” — take a moment to consider your own style of gift-giving. Selecting a present that’s uniquely “you” is a surefire way to stand out from the crowd this season.

Which of the below gift-giving buckets do you fit into?

The Remote Piloted Aircraft, which can travel at speeds of up to 75km/h, will be monitoring beaches each weekend, on public holidays and on other days as required.
Surf Life Saving SA volunteers have been trained to operate the drones.
The entire State Government initiative, including training, cost $350,000.

We review a lot of products here at Mashable. Some are good, others are really great and earn our Mashable Choice badge, and a few end up being complete trash. It's our duty to help you find only the stuff we recommend so you don't buy something only to get home and cry your eyes out because it sucks.

We know it's easy to get caught up in all the holiday cheer and shopping and feel like you need to buy something because everyone else is, but think about the downsides to a bad purchase: Tons of time wasted returning stuff either by shipping them back or waiting on line to get a refund — not to mention your reputation will suffer for giving such an ill-considered gift.

The top US military officer on Saturday said that it was problematic that US tech companies do not want to work with the Pentagon, but are willing to engage with the Chinese.
US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Joseph Dunford told the Halifax International Security Forum that the US and its allies are the “good guys.”
“I have a hard time with companies that are working very hard to engage in the market inside China … then don’t want to work with the US military,” the general said. “I just have a simple expression: ‘We are the good guys.’”
Earlier this year, thousands signed a petition asking Google chief executive to cancel..
