It’s that time of year again. Time to start figuring out what gifts you’re going to buy everyone this holiday season. If you’ve got a technology lover on your shopping list this year, you can’t go wrong with putting a little virtual reality gear under the holiday tree.

As we enter the holiday season, one of this year's most popular transportation options should be at the top of your gift list (whether for yourself or someone else!) Hoverboards are better than ever.
