In the past two years, people worldwide have had to revisit their relationship with gadgets or the virtual world. While some like it, others use it only for business purposes. At The Recursive, we embrace everything digitally because we see the many ways in which innovative technology can help our lives and the planet.
Discover below a few gift ideas to send tech aficionados, or yourself, this holiday season. These will actually help you spend less time scrolling and clicking. Some gifts are accessible worldwide, others are area-limited, but all are locally created by founders from the SEE region.
