About this column
Our carefully curated showcase of the superb. Lavish praise for the people, products, and places we love to love. With our notes on their Voice Values, bien sûr.
This holiday season, The Voice Bureau is offering up a list of our favorite gifts, organized by the Voice Values who will most appreciate them. Join us in a bit of festive cheer as we count down the 16 Days of Voice Values!
People who value Innovation are always one step ahead of the game. They’ve got the latest tech, the newest gadgets, and the coolest, most useful toys. You can impress them with a gift that introduces them to something new, or something cool that helps them make the most of what they already have.
Don’t try to out-gadget someone with a high Innovation value. If the tech scene isn’t your usual beat, there’s a good chance you’re going to be impressed by yesterday’s (admittedly cool, but old) news. Instead, try going off the beaten path for something unusual — you might just start a trend.
LithiumCard Hypercharger
It’s hard to stay on the bleeding edge when your phone keeps dying. This powerful charger is the size of a credit card — making it ultra-portable — but charges as fast as a wall charger (without tying you to a wall). Quick, sleek, and super useful!
Zojirushi Stainless Steel Mug
I know, a coffee thermos. Bear with me. This thing has a crazy cult following, with good reason. It doesn’t look like anything hi-tech, but it holds the temperature of your drink forever. My husband has poured himself a cup of coffee, left it open for an hour to cool off, taken it to work, forgotten it there, and gotten back to it the next morning — and it was still hot. This thing is almost too good, and the high-Innovation coffee-drinker will love it.
Fossil Q Wander Leather Touchscreen Smartwatch
One downside of having a passion for tech is that, well, it’s not generally that attractive. This line of Fossil smartwatches is a notable exception. You can customize the watch face and swap out the band for a huge range of styles, and it’s got a list of functions your high-Innovation friend will drool over.
EMPACK: The Multi-Functional Weight Training Backpack
Should your friend have a high Innovation value and a high value on fitness, the EMPACK might be just the thing. The EM in EMPACK stands not just for the creator’s nickname, but also for Evolving Motion. It’s a backpack and a weight training pack, with built-in water bladders that allow you to add weight for greater resistance. Your high Innovation friend can get fit on the go, without making constant upgrades to their equipment as they get stronger.
Hello, you.
