You don't need to drop hundreds to give a great tech gift
0:03
In fact, some of the coolest gadgets cost less than $100, and I'm really excited about this collection I've pulled together
0:10
You already know the drill. Everything you're going to see in this video is linked in the description
0:15
in case you want to check it out. This cool little device is the Amazon Echo Pop
0:22
It's just $40, and for its tiny size, it packs a surprisingly full sound
0:27
that's great for music and podcasts. It comes in a bunch of fresh colors to match any decor
0:33
and puts the full power of Alexa just a voice command away. This is a perfect gift for a student's dorm room, a bedroom, office, or, well, wherever really
0:45
If you're shopping for someone who's always on the go, or honestly, if you just hate cable clutter as much as I do
0:51
the Belkin Ultra Charge MagSafe 3-in-1 Charger is a total win. It powers your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch all at once with just one cable
1:03
And it folds up perfectly for travel. For $100, I strongly recommend this for anyone who wants something sleek that actually makes their life easier
1:15
The Anker 622 Magnetic Battery is my go-to travel charger and one of my favorite gifts to give
1:22
It just snaps onto the back of your phone for a wireless charge, no cables needed, and the built-in kickstand is really clutch for watching videos mid-charge
1:32
At $50, it's such a lifesaver and the perfect gift for that friend who's always at 10% battery
1:39
And it comes in multiple fun colors. We all have that one friend who loses everything
1:46
A single Apple AirTag is $30 and it is a lifesaver for misplaced keys, wallet, luggage, you name it
1:55
It connects right to the Find My app and uses Apple's huge network to track things down, even from far away
2:02
It's a practical, techie little gift that everyone always ends up thanking you for later
2:09
If you're shopping for a gamer, artist, or anyone who loves quirky tech
2:14
The Devoom Timebox Evo is a no-brainer. For $50, it's a Bluetooth speaker, alarm clock, and a 256-pixel LED display all in one
2:25
I love that you can make your own pixel art or grab designs from the community
2:30
It's endlessly fun, and honestly, it looks amazing on a desk. Definitely one of those gifts that feels way cooler than it costs
2:39
This is one of those gifts that instantly makes people smile. The Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 prints photos you can hold in your hand, which feels so rare these days
2:52
It's super simple to use, has a selfie mirror built right into the lens, and churns out those tiny, charming prints in seconds
3:00
I'd give this to anyone who loves parties, nostalgia, or just a fun little creative gadget
3:07
And at it one of the most affordable instant cameras out there This lamp is basically a party in a box The Govee Table Lamp 2 lets you pick from millions of colors
3:21
control it how you like, and even create your own custom designs
3:25
I'd give this gift to anyone who wants their room to stand out. Kids, teens, friends, or even yourself if we're being honest
3:32
It's a gift that instantly makes a room pop. Here's a gift that helps build healthy habits
3:43
The Hydrate Spark Pro 2 Smart Water Bottle. For $70, this insulated bottle keeps drinks cold and tracks every sip through a connected app to help you meet your hydration goals
3:55
There's an RGB light at the bottom that can flash a color of your choice to remind you to drink water and find my built-in so you never have to worry about losing it
4:03
It's perfect for the fitness enthusiast, tech lover, or anyone who you think could use a little help staying hydrated throughout the day
4:12
For the person who hates waking up in the morning, the Joll Sunrise Alarm Clock can make it a whole lot easier
4:19
Retailing for $50, it's a lot cheaper than some of the viral sunrise alarm clocks, but literally does the same thing
4:26
It simulates a natural sunrise, gradually getting brighter until it's time to wake up
4:30
It also has multiple nature sounds and an FM radio, making for a much more peaceful start to the day
4:37
I'm not sure you could give someone a better gift than that. Bluetooth speakers. Great gifts always. Honestly
4:46
But the JBL Clip 5 is one of the absolute champions when it comes to portability
4:51
Retailing for $80, this small but mighty speaker has a carabiner that clips easily onto a backpack or a belt
4:58
It's fully waterproof and dustproof, so it's durable while still pushing out a surprisingly big sound for its size
5:09
This is the go-to speaker for hikers, students, and anyone on the move
5:14
It comes in tons of fun colors, and you can even get a personalized Clip 5
5:21
Shout out to JBL for helping us out with this one. you don't have to spend a fortune to get great noise cancellation headphones and the jlab j buds
5:32
lux prove it these over-ear headphones for just 80 offer powerful hybrid active noise canceling
5:40
that effectively blocks out distractions they're comfortable enough for all-day wear and have
5:45
incredible battery life of over 40 hours with active noise cancellation on that's better than
5:51
a lot of those big brand headphones that cost four times the price
5:59
Then, for the runner, cyclist, or outdoor enthusiast, I recommend the JLab Flex Open
6:05
Ear Earbuds. The open ear design sits right outside the ear c, letting you enjoy your music or
6:11
podcasts while maintaining full awareness of your surroundings. The earhook design keeps them secure during activity, making them the ideal audio companion
6:19
for the athlete in your life. For a clean quiet and stylish desk setup the Logitech Pebble 2 Combo is a fantastic choice This mouse and keyboard set is only and features a slim minimalist design that looks
6:36
great and is easy to take on the go. Both devices have silent clicks and keystrokes
6:42
which is great for quiet environments and can easily switch between three different
6:47
paired devices. Compatible with Windows, Mac, and iPad, it's the perfect device for the busy bees in
6:53
our lives, whether they're students, professionals, or creatives. And if you want a little more flair
6:59
in your keyboard, you could also go with the stylish Popkeys model. Seriously, guys, I love these
7:08
If you're looking for a gift that is completely ridiculous and outright hilarious, the Automatone
7:15
is it? This quirky, note-shaped musical instrument from Japan is just $35, and it's played by sliding
7:22
your finger along the stem. And you can squeeze its cheeks to open its mouth
7:31
It's bizarre, incredibly fun to play with, and guaranteed to be the most memorable gift they
7:36
receive. I promise. It's perfect for anyone with a strong sense of humor, even if they may not have
7:43
a strong sense of music. Oh, are we rolling? Give the gift of relaxation to the person who
7:56
stares at a screen all day with the Renpho eye massager. For $70, this futuristic mask uses a
8:02
combination of gentle heat, air compression, and vibration to relieve eye strain, puffiness
8:08
and headaches. It even has built-in Bluetooth speakers for listening to calming music during
8:14
a session. Renfo offers several models, the Iris 1, 3, and Zen, so you have a variety of features
8:21
to choose from. I'd say this is the perfect gift for the in-laws or people who already have
8:26
everything. If you know someone who is still using their TV's built-in speakers, or worse
8:34
still doesn't have a smart TV, please save them. The Roku Stream Bar is the upgrade they need
8:40
at the best possible value. For exactly $100, it's a compact but powerful soundbar
8:46
with 4K Roku built directly into the device. It's incredibly easy to set up
8:51
and delivers a massive audio upgrade, making dialogue clearer and movies more immersive
8:57
It's a fantastic all-in-one solution for a bedroom TV, an apartment, or for anyone who wants better sound
9:04
and smarts without the complex setup. The sharper image world clock is not your average clock. I
9:11
promise this is actually a really cool gift. It displays the time by using text instead of numbers
9:18
It's a cool way to show off the time in a more modern way, and because it uses LEDs
9:23
it works in darker rooms too. At just $30, this is a great gift for those friends with an eye for
9:30
design or also just anybody who can read a clock which is a lot more people than you might think In a world of wireless sometimes a simple reliable pair of wired earbuds is exactly what you need The Apple ones are decent but I actually recommend the IER from Sony
9:50
Try saying that five times fast. They cost $30, making this pretty much the most affordable audio
9:56
gift out there. The sound quality is surprisingly really good for the price, and you never have to
10:02
worry about charging them or dealing with Bluetooth pairing. They're a perfect stocking
10:06
stuffer or a fantastic backup pair for anyone who is prone to losing their more expensive headphones
10:16
Here's a travel gadget that is an absolute game changer, the 12South AirFly SE. For $35
10:23
this tiny device lets you use your favorite wireless headphones, like AirPods, with any
10:29
wired headphone jack. That means you can finally watch in-flight movies or use gym equipment
10:35
without getting tangled in cables. It's incredibly simple to pair and has a long-lasting battery
10:41
making it an essential gift for any frequent flyer. And hey, it even comes with this nice
10:46
little travel pouch. This is one of those gifts that keeps up with literally anyone
10:53
The Ultimate Ears Mini Roll is waterproof, portable, and sounds amazing from every angle
10:58
It even has a bungee cord so you can hook it to your bike, backpack, or whatever you want
11:04
I'd give this to the friend who's always outside, traveling, or just needs music on the go
11:10
It's $80 and is worth every cent. Seriously, don't let the small size fool you
11:17
The Dragon Touch digital picture frame is the perfect gift to help keep your family connected
11:22
This budget-friendly, Wi-Fi-enabled frame allows friends and family to send photos and short videos directly to the 10.1-inch touchscreen display from anywhere using a simple app
11:36
It's an amazing way to share life's moments as they happen. It's an absolutely thoughtful gift for parents or grandparents who live far away
11:46
These are perfect for the friend who can't resist a bit of nostalgia
11:50
The NanoPlayer Pro and the Pixel Pocket Pro feature classic Atari games like Ms. Pac-Man
11:56
and Galaga in a tiny portable package. For around $30-$40 they come in tons of designs
12:02
so it's an easy win for anyone who loves gaming on the go. I honestly want a collection of these
12:07
for myself. It's so cool how you can get options based on your recipient's favorite games
12:11
I'll give you a hint, my favorite's Galaga. That brings us to the end of the video. I'd love to
