After taking a look at some great essentials starting from $7 that anyone can appreciate as a gift this year, today we are zeroing-in on the Apple lovers. Whether the lucky someone on your list has every piece of Apple kit Cupertino makes, or perhaps just an iPhone, or even just an Apple Watch, there’s something for any Apple fan on our list this year. Head below to scope out the the best gifts for Apple fans we would love to see under our trees.
Best Apple accessory gifts
Apple Watch band organizer from Twelve South and ATP Modern
Many Apple Watch users have amassed at least a few extra straps and bands over the years, just about all of which are still compatible with the latest wearables. Something to get them neatly stowed away in between uses is a must for me, instead of just dumping them all in a drawer and then having to rifle through them to find the one you’re after for the day. The Twelve South TimePorter is a great way to do just that, keeping them all organized for under $30 by way of a mountable rail-like system that allows users to neatly slide in any size Apple Watch band and have and them up on display.
For me however, something like this more timeless and elegant solid wood Apple Watch organizer from ATP Modern is a far more classic and attractive solution though. Starting at $20 Prime shipped in a range of different colors, you can’t mount this one per se but it can fit right into most drawers and looks great out on display on the shelf or dresser.
Apple Watch bands for any occasion
Let’s talk Apple Watch bands. We have a sweet holder to stow them in now, and every Apple Watch user can appreciate some band options considering how easy it is to flip them out to match an outfit or activity, so let’s scope out some of my favorites I can personally recommend and use myself:
Timeless metal bracelet-style for any occasion

Arc Pulse iPhone 16 Bumper Case
The Arc Pulse is a truly unique option in the iPhone case category, if you’re even willing to call it a case. One of the best bumper-style covers in the game, these cases come in the form of a two-piece setup – one slides on the bottom to safe guard the bottom corners and the other on top to safe safeguard the top and camera array…both then come around front to keep your display from making contact with flat surfaces. Made of aerospace-grade metal, they pop on without the use of adhesive and are the best bumpers I have ever tested out, allowing the iPhone’s color to shine through and offering a truly unique look to your handset.

Nomad Find My Wallet Tracking Card
The Nomad Tracking Card is an amazing gift for literally any iPhone user if you ask me. Seamlessly integrating with the Apple Find My app on your iPhone, it can be used to keeps tabs on a wallet or anything else you can slide the credit card-sized form-factor into. Complete with MagSafe-ready wireless charging, it is easily among the very best products of its kind and something I’ll never leave the house or country without ever again.

Elevation Lab magnetic AirTag Mounts and more
While an Apple AirTag itself is certainly a wonderful gift for any iPhone user, even if they already have one, Elevation Lab makes my very favorite mounts and cases that can really help to put Apple’s item trackers to use just about anywhere. Be it its waterproof, nearly indestructible models, something with onboard magnetic action, or something made specifically for the inside of your bag or jacket, these affordable options are easily some of the best on the market and the price is certainly right.
- TagVault AirTag Cat Collar Mount $9.50 (Reg. $13)
- TagVault AirTag Wallet Holder $8 (Reg. $10)
- TagVault AirTag Magnetic Case from $13.50 (Reg. $18+)
- TagVault Fabric Mount from $11 (Reg. $14+)
- TagVault Bike v2 $26 (Reg. $35)
- TagVault Pet $14.50 (Reg. $20)
Apple gear travel chargers
There’s nothing quite like being able to bring a compact version of your at-home charging station on the road to ensure all of your Apple gear is juiced up and ready to go no matter where your adventures might take you. The new Twelve South Butterfly and the Anker MagGo UFO 3-in-1 are two of our favorite new options that released this year, both with built-in Apple Watch chargers, tiny fold-out form-factors, and 15W of juice for iPhone over MagSafe.
- Anker MagGo UFO 3-in-1 $63 (Reg. $90)
- Twelve South Butterfly SE 2-in-1 $100
