Welcome to adafruit's nondenominational holiday wearable electronics gift guide! Nevermind, onto the rest of the gifts
to make and to give!
Make an EL wire stocking and fill it with tools for the future engineer in your life.
For someone new to wearables, try the Beginner LED Sewing Kit-- it's great for learning to
work with conductive thread while making a light up plush toy or hair bow.
Use copper tape or conductive ink to craft holiday greeting cards with blinky LEDs! Mmmmm,
blinky.
Sensitive souls might like the FLORA sensor pack, loaded with parts to detect light, color,
motion and direction. Any package looks fabulous with a LED ribbon
bow. You can now get our sewable NeoPixels in a
whole sheet, and then selectively disassemble it to create snowflakes suitable for decorating
your desk long after the christmas tree's gone.
Who on your list wouldn't love a color-changing scarf or a skirt that lights up when you dance?
We've got tutorials for each of those, plus these firewalker sneakers, on the Adafruit
Learning System.
"Snowden" this year? For a more subtle wearable, put a USB drive in a locket, loaded with treasured
photos or all of Wikipedia. The ultimate gift for a wearables devotee
is the FLORA GPS starter pack, featuring the ultimate GPS module and literally a dozen
other goodies to build the project of your dreams. Home is where your GPS is.
