From Touchscreen Texting Mittens to Hashtag Ice Makers

— November 30, 2015 — Pop Culture
With the holiday season in full swing, these gifts for millennials are guaranteed to spark some shopping inspiration. Although they are often lumped together, millennials are a diverse group with a passion for pop culture and an intense focus on new technology. If you're looking for a gift for someone born after 1980, these presents just might be the perfect option.

Millennials grew up with new technology, which means that their mobile devices play an important role in their lives. Beyond smartphones and tablets, millennials are interested in new gadgets that can help them in their daily lives. Some tech-oriented gifts for millennials include all-in-one device docks, touchscreen texting mittens and streaming-centric tablets.

Aside from a passion for tech products, millennials also have a soft spot for pop culture references. This includes anything from social media-themed coasters to Netflix-inspired couch cushions.

Whether the person on your list spends their days working at a hip startup or finishing up their latest Netflix marathon, these gifts for millennials are sure to delight.
