It’s the most wonderful time of the year for gadget lovers. If sweaters, wallets and cheese logs aren’t your idea of a happy holiday, this curated list of top tech toys for 2014 compiled by Resource/Ammirati Chief Technology Officer Dan Shust and Chief Creative Officer Dennis Bajec is the ultimate wish list for you. For the fifth year in a row, we’ve created our version of Oprah’s Favorite Things called BajecShustmas and presented our list to a standing room only crowd at Resource/Ammirati. When we first started compiling the list in 2009, there were much fewer tech gadgets on the market. Today, innovators on Kickstarter and a host of other sites are launching products for every room in the home, your car and even your body. Happy holidays!
