Acronis Holiday Gift Guide 2018

The season of giving is upon us again! Across the country, people are making their annual trek through a winter wonderland to the slightly-less wonderful shopping malls of America.

As usual, gift cards, clothing, games, and toys top the to-buy list of most holiday shoppers. However, the average American adult now spends 11 hours, or 46 percent, of their day interacting with digital media. With that in mind, it makes more sense than ever to consider gadgets and software that make the digital world better, faster, and safer as gifts for your tech-loving friends and family this holiday season.

Whether you’re shopping for your most tech-savvy friends or an aunt or uncle who could use a little extra support with anything involving a keyboard, here are 10 tech gifts to help you spread holiday cheer and cyber protection.
