The Best Tech Gifts That Aren’t Gadgets

Supply-chain disruptions may make it tough to buy devices, but the most thoughtful presents were never tangible to begin with.
My favorite holiday tech gift doesn’t require batteries or software updates. It’s not even a gadget, though it was made with technology.
Can you guess what it is?
A few years ago, my wife experimented with her iPad and a digital stylus to make digital illustrations. Using Procreate, a drawing app, she loaded a photo of our beloved corgi, Max, as a reference to trace over before embellishing the image with a polka-dot bow tie and a cartoonishly long tongue. I liked it so much that I picked a background color that would complement our home and uploaded the illustration to the app Keepsake, a printing service that assembles your images in a nice frame before delivering it to your door.
