50 Gen X Gift Ideas

These Gen X gift ideas range from retro-themed tech accessories to wellness products that offer natural pain relief and relaxation.

Along with the resurgence of retro themes in popular culture -- from the 80s-themed Netflix hit series Stranger Things to Gen Z's obsession with 90s apparel trends -- Gen X-friendly tech is also on the rise. Standouts include the Pro-Ject Audio Systems Metallica Turntable, equipped with the metal band's iconic star logo and sleek platter detailing in glass. Avid record collectors can also check out 'VinylSonic,' a crowdfunded product that was recently launched on Kickstarter. The vinyl record cleaner helps collectors keep their rarest albums in pristine condition with the help of "ultrasonic technologies combined with distilled water" and fits 6" and 12" records.

More Gen X gifts include products like the Thunderstick GRS Build-A-Cade kit, a DIY gaming set that recreates the arcade game experience for users at home. The set is powered by Raspberry Pi tech and is a great project for gamer families to participate in. Those looking for a gag gift can also check out the Microsoft Clippy Paperclip holiday sweater, a festive garment commemorating the iconic computer program mascot.
