We live in a technology world. It’s everywhere, and we need to embrace it as a family. However, sometimes, family gifts are one-sided. Take video game consoles, for instance. Mom probably doesn’t get much use out of them besides getting you out of her hair. But, we’ve come up with the perfect family technology gear everyone can benefit from here below.
Science and technology revolutionize our lives, but memory, tradition, and myth frame our response.

3D Printers
3D printers are super cool and nowadays, you can find all kinds of free online plans to make cool dodads. If you want a high-quality professional printer go with the Ultimaker S5 ($5,995).
Yes, it’s not a cheap as some, but you are paying for immense quality here. Plus, it’s large size allows you to print larger items!
Figurines and toys for the kids. Home decor and household items for mom. Tech accessories for dad. The options are endless.
Laser Projectors
Watching movies as a family often becomes a family tradition. It’s something everyone looks forward to, along with the popcorn!
Want to set up a media room to make your family movie nights rock even more? A laser project like the Vava 4K is your best bet.
It will allow you to feel like you have your very own movie theater right in your house, but better. It features deeper colors, sharper images, and higher contrast than what you would even see at the theater.
This projector runs around $2800, but for something that you can watch 4 hours a day, and it still has a lamp that will last 17 years, it’s a must buy.
A Premium Camera
Families are always taking pictures, and your smartphone does not always cut it. Sometimes you need a real camera to get the job done. One like the Phase One IQ4 150MP.
Teens often love to put pictures of their friends all over their rooms. Parents love the reliving the memories. While kids may hate taking photographs, they’ll appreciate them when they’re older, especially with the quality this camera provides.
This is not your average digital camera. It’s a billion times better. It has the most amazing resolution you’ll ever see, and its price shows that.
Coming in at $46,000-52,000, it’s not a purchase most middle-class families would take on. However, if you do, you’ll capture so much detail that your editing possibilities will be endless. Your family photos will be perfect!
If this is something you really want, you always have the option of purchasing electrical items on finance. Lord knows most of us do not have thousands of dollars just lying around.
Financing will allow you to spread the cost over several payments, or some places even allow you to buy now and pay later. This is extremely helpful when it comes to expensive tech gadgets like laptops, desktops, and our family technology gifts above. Happy shopping, guys!
