Yea, this is happening to me right now. So hard to figure out what tech gift to give my dad and uncle. I love tech or tech related makes our life more simple.
For my uncle i am planning to give him a battery bank because he is always complaining how bad the battery life is in iPhone 6 and he is usually in Facebook and Instagram.
For 38 bucks currently on amazon i think it is perfect gift. Just plug and charge with colorful lightning goes with Christmas theme as well.

For my dad i am giving him a new phone. I am tried of him saying that his phone over heats, he is using droid 1. Camera crashes and dont take good pictures and apps are not supported. Giving me headache. He doesn't want anything fancy because he is not that tech savvy and he just needs phone to make calls use some app to check for daily sale deals and take pictures here and there. So, i decided to go with the budget smart phone that do not have lots of bloatware and easy to use.
So, this is what i was thinking:
