1. Tablet
Tablets are handy for contractors who are on the move, or commute often for their contract work. Tablets offer user-friendly capabilities that are on par with the functionalities of a laptop.
With a tablet, you can easily get work done, browse the internet, or relax and watch your favourite show or film anywhere and anytime.

2. Noise-cancelling headphones
A good pair of headphones are essential for any music lover. Quality headphones produce the best sound and will last a long time, so you don’t have to worry about buying a new pair every couple of months.
Noise-cancelling headphones are ideal if you need to focus and tune out your surroundings, or just want to enjoy your music in peace.

3. Smart Watch
Smart watches are popular this season, but more importantly they offer users a new type of technology that provides more flexibility and convenience than ever. With a smart watch contractors can keep in touch with friends and family, update their LinkedIn profile, and even track their health and fitness with just a couple of taps.
There’s no need to get your phone out of your pocket, just look at your wrist.
We Recommend: Apple Watch
4. Portable Charger
With everyone being plugged in these days, having a portable charger is essential for anyone who uses their phone, tablet or laptop while they’re out and about. Being a contractor can be somewhat unpredictable at times, so it’s great to have a reliable gadget that will charge up your electronics quickly and efficiently wherever you are.
Chargers with the capability to recharge a device multiple times is an ideal Christmas gift for the busy contractor.

Smart phones are constantly being upgraded and released, so it’s sometimes difficult to keep up with this ever evolving technology. When it comes to getting a new phone, contractors should have a smart, fast and user-friendly device so there is no nonsense or wasting of precious time.
You work hard, so you deserve the best.

There’s still some time left before Christmas to make sure you avoid any awkwardness on Christmas morning. While it’s the thought that counts, it doesn’t hurt to give your loved ones a little hint if it means you will get a present you truly love and will use.
