Right now, the mini projector is on sale on Amazon for $58.99 — a 41% discount. To connect it to a smartphone, though, they'd need an extra HDMI adapter. Furthermore, due to copyright restrictions, content from streaming services like Netflix or Hulu will need to be played through a TV stick before they're able to project it. If they don't already have one, consider getting them a Fire TV Stick as well, which is now on sale for $24.99 on Amazon.

Self-heating mug

For the workaholic who rarely drags themself away from their desk even for some much-needed sustenance, a useful gift idea to consider is a cup that can keep their coffee, tea, or other hot beverage warm much longer than a traditional ceramic mug.

The mug itself is made of stainless steel and has a ceramic matte finish as well as a spill-resistant lid that'll keep the drink warm even longer. It comes with a battery-powered docking coaster that they can keep on their desk to maintain beverage warmth indefinitely through three built-in heat settings: warm, hot, and piping. They also have the option of using the cup off-coaster.
