I missed traveling to Facebook’s Oculus Connect developer conference last fall, where the upcoming Oculus Quest was first announced and demoed. The standalone headset is expected in the spring, and it’ll cost $400 all-in with the headset and controllers. (That price is roughly £300 or AU$560.)

I’ve written this story before. For years. I sit on a train, in a coffee shop, at the office, on a plane, at a press conference. The iPad is in my hands. I think: this can be my everything.

When an Amazon Echo Dot ($40 at Target) feels like not enough, but a new Apple MacBook ($445 at Amazon) feels like too much, you need a gift that’s right up the middle. Extravagant, but not too extravagant. When shopping from around $250 to $500, you get to play in some really fun areas, like game consoles, robots and even 3D …

While Black Friday and Cyber Monday have come and gone, there are still plenty of good deals out there for those of us who don’t want to spend too much but also don’t want to appear too cheap.
