TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) -- Picking the perfect Christmas present can be tricky, especially for people who may not be up on the latest technology.

WTXL ABC 27 tech reporter Morgan Moore shows off some ideas for all the non-techy on your list. 

Check out the updated Polaroid, a now-digital camera that still brings back the nostalgia of days gone by.

"It's digital and stores everything you're taking, but it can also print out right from the camera. It combines the old-school Polaroid with the new school innovations," said Blake Dowling of Aegis Business Technology.

And let's face it, even with a Black Friday or Cyber Monday deal, new TVs can take a big chunk out of your Christmas budget.

So if you want to help your friends and family upgrade their entertainment system without breaking the bank, try a streaming device like a Roku or an Amazon Fire Stick.

They're easy to navigate and come with remotes that are simple to use.

"Especially for older TVs they don't have Internet capabilities directly, as long as it has an HDMI port, you can plug the Fire Stick in and all the sudden you have every Internet app," explained Keith Rackleff of Aegis Business Technology.

For those who may have a hard time hearing all those new shows but don't want to be tied down, Bluetooth headphones can help.

They connect to a TV or speaker wirelessly, so every word comes in crystal clear, at the volume they need.

Even with all these helpful devices there, are still some things that can go wrong, so Skype is helping you problem solve even from miles away.

It now offers a feature that lets you share your screen, so the person you're chatting with can see what issue you might having without actually having to be near the device.
