We've all done it.  We're short on gift ideas for someone and grab something from that generic gifts shelf.  If you have to pick something from there, make sure you don't get one of these gifts that are SO 5 years ago !

They make mention of digital frames but most people know not to buy those.  Here are five more technology gifts that nobody wants.

#1.)  A New Case for Their Smartphone.  Some people just don't like using them because it makes their phone bulkier.  But even if they DO want one, you should let THEM pick it out, because the one YOU pick might not be their style.

#2.)  Cleaning Kits.  Meaning things like DVD and CD cleaners.  The big ones right now are cleaning kits for expensive CAMERAS.  But unless the person you're buying it for is a professional photographer, they probably won't use it.

#3.)  GPS Navigation Units. More and more people are using the GPS on their cell phone.  And a lot of new cars have it already built in.  So if you buy them one now, they might not use it for very long.

#4.)  A Random Video Game.  If it's for a little kid who doesn't know any better, that's fine.  Otherwise, find out what game they WANT.  Don't just ask the cashier what's popular, and don't just buy one because it's on sale.

#5.)  Licensed Products.  Meaning things with a celebrity or movie attached . . . like the limited-edition "Halo" version of the Xbox 360, or a pair of $180 Justin Bieber headphones.  In a few months, chances are they won't like them anymore.
