Looking for a holiday gift for a teenager who already has everything? For a mom who loves taking pictures of her kids? For a music lover who loves downloading music online? Seagate External Hard Drive is a great unexpected techy gift under 100 bucks for almost anyone in your list.

One of our clients at Collective Bias is Seagate – they are THE maker of external hard drives. I have to admit – I was embarrassed to admit to even my team at first that I didn’t own an external hard drive. And this even after two years ago our car was broken into and my laptop got stolen – and I lost memories worth two years and a book that I had written for 11 chapters. One the reasons why I hadn’t gotten the external hard drive before was that I always thought it was that techy stuff that I wouldn’t know how to use it. But I bought a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Home Network Storage System from Walmart.com and love it! Truth to be told, my husband broke it out of the box and helped me to set it up, but it is so easy to use. It’s wireless and we can send files from all of our computers from the entire house to it (both PC and Mac!) and not just that but I can send and get files from it also when traveling. It’s so easy and the best of course: I don’t have to worry about losing my data anymore.

I think the Seagate External Hard Drive makes a great gift idea for many of those people in your list that are hard to buy for – or who already have everything. Parents like me tend to have a lot of video and picture files they storage in their computers and teens have movies and music files. You can learn more about different types of hard drives at Walmart.com. They sell them in stores as well, but I liked ordering mine online – it’s easy and super fast. The Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Ultra-Portable Hard Drive also comes in fun colors like red, blue and silver (black too) making it your techy holiday gift even cuter.
