Last week I gave you your first tech-based taste of Christmas, with some pressie suggestions for your favourite geek.

If none of those really stoked your festive fire, or if she/he already has all those toys, try this list. Check it twice if you like...

First up, something that could actually ease the pain of the most stressful time of year...

The Backpod.

Yes, I know it just looks like a weird, green blob, but it's a brilliantly designed weird, green blob.

If you know someone who's constantly complaining about back tension caused by hunching over tablets and keyboards, the Backpod may offer some welcome relief for them and you.

I use mine every night before bed. Nothing like a little pre-slumber crackety-crack.

Or how about something you can use in a variety of positions so you can avoid that iHunch altogether?...

The ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi.

Is it a tablet or is it a laptop?

Yes, it is. In fact, I like to call it a laplet.

A very solid, powerful performer with a unique detachable keyboard design that won't let you down.

Meanwhile, in the mid-priced phone market...

There's always the Samsung A3 or A5

These two handsets may be missing a few bells and whistles offered by Samsung's flagship phones, but start using one for a while and you'll be hard-pushed to remember what those extra features were.

Great cameras and displays, both very slim and both very sexy phones indeed - especially for the price.

However, if you are happy to pay just a little more... 

The Huawei P8 is genuine class.

Yes, that's right. Even though it's not an Apple or a Samsung, this is the phone that can box with the big boys.

Super slim, but with a solid feel. A high performance camera that sits flush with the rear casing and a raft of built-in settings that are genuinely helpful rather than annoying.

A top-end phone that's actually a bit cheaper than those other show-offs.

Lastly, the wearable of the year...

May I present the Samsung Gear S2.

This is quite possibly the coolest thing ever in the history of everything.

If somebody wants to wrap mine up and give it to me again on Christmas Day, I'd be perfectly satisfied.

Super comfortable. Unrivaled functionality. Effortless wireless charging. IP68 dust and water resistance. I'm totally in love.

What's more, my new red strap just arrived. What could be more Christmassy than that?

 

If you can't find something to whet your techie's taste-buds in that lot, he/she's a hard man/woman/robot to please.

All is not lost though; I'll back with my final batch of gadgety gifts next week.
