Looking for the perfect gift for a loved one this Christmas? Here are 5 tech gifts under $50. Take advantage of these gifts during Black Friday or Cyber Monday to get extra deep discounts.
1. Amazon Echo Dot
I recently moved into another apartment and decided to purchase an Amazon Echo Dot as a housewarming gift (for myself of course). Echo Dot is a hands-free, voice-controlled device that uses Alexa to play music, control smart home devices, provide information, read the news, set alarms,
As a bit of a techie, I found that it is simple to use, quick to setup and works well within my tech ecosystem. I love being able to quickly turn on my music or hear the weather report. I am looking forward to purchasing some smart home devices to control.
Regular Price: $49 (Black Friday: $39)
2. Roku Streaming Stick
For those who don’t want to pay for cable anymore, but still like watching TV a Roku Streaming Stick is a great option. It is easy to use, just plug it into your television. It gives you access your own subscriptions like Amazon Instant Video, VUDU, Google Play, Netflix, or Hulu. Rent or buy on-demand, and enjoy hundreds of free channels.
You can also use their app to turn your iOS or Android mobile device into a Roku remote, search with voice or text, and send photos, video or music, to your TV from your phone or tablet.
Regular Price: $49 (Black Friday: $34)
3. Jawbone Mini Jambox
I have used a Bluetooth speaker everyday for the last four years. Years ago, a friend gave me a Jawbone Jambox, which has an amazing sound for such a small speaker. I use it to play podcasts in the morning while getting ready and music throughout the day.
This Jawbone Mini Jambox is the perfect gift for anyone with a smartphone who doesn’t want to wear headphone. Jawbone has some great deals on their Certified Refurbished. If you are not into refurbished items, you could check out the MagicBox II.
Regular Price: $59 (Certified Refurbished: $42)
4. Anker Portable Battery Charger
Everyone knows the terrible felling when you are just about to send that “I’ll be home soon” text, but your phone runs out of battery. To combat this feeling, I keep a portable battery charger in my book bag. I have found it extremely helpful while traveling, making sure I have plenty of battery on all my flights.
The Anker Portable Battery Chrarger has an ultra-high capacity which charges the iPhone 6s six times, the iPhone 6s Plus or Galaxy S7 four times or the iPad Air more than once.
Regular Price: $79 (Sale: $34)
5. Amazon Fire and Kindle 6″
Looking for a tablet, but don’t want to spend a ton of money? The Amazon Fire is a great device for simple tasks like browsing the internet or playing some games. If you are not into the tablet, the Kindle 6″ is a great option for avid book readers.
Amazon Fire: $49 (Black Friday $33)
Amazon Kindle: $79 (Black Friday $49)
