Best Tech Gifts Under $100 You'll ACTUALLY Want!

You don't need to drop hundreds to give a great tech gift. In fact, some of the coolest gadgets cost less than a hundred dollars and I'm really excited about this collection I've pulled together. You already know the drill. Everything you're going to see in this video is linked in the description in case you want to check it out. This cool little device is the Amazon Echo Pop. It's just $40 and for its tiny size it packs a surprisingly full sound that's great for music and podcasts. It comes in a bunch of fresh colors to match any decor and puts the full power of Alexa just a voice command away. This is a perfect gift for a student storm room, a bedroom, office, or well, wherever really. 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, the Belkin UltraCharge MagSafe 3-in-1 charger is a total win. It powers your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch all at once with just one cable and it folds up perfectly for travel. For a hundred dollars, I strongly recommend this for anyone who wants something sleek that actually makes their life easier. The Anker 622 magnetic battery is my go-to travel charger and one of my favorite gifts to give. 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. At $50, it's such a lifesaver and the perfect gift for that friend who's always at 10% battery. And it comes in multiple fun colors. We all have that one friend who loses everything. A single Apple AirTag is $30 and it is a lifesaver for misplaced keys, wallet, luggage, you name it. It connects right to the Find My app and uses Apple's huge network to track things down, even from far away. It's a practical, techie little gift that everyone always ends up thanking you for later. If you're shopping for a gamer, artist, or anyone who loves quirky tech, the Divoom Timebox Evo is a no-brainer. For $50, it's a Bluetooth speaker, alarm clock, and a 256-pixel LED display all-in-one. I love that you can make your own pixel art or grab designs from the community. It's endlessly fun and honestly, it looks amazing on a desk. Definitely one of those gifts that feels way cooler than it costs. 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. It's super simple to use, has a selfie mirror built right into the lens, and churns out those tiny, charming prints in seconds. I'd give this to anyone who loves parties, nostalgia, or just a fun little creative gadget. And at $80, it's 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, control it how you like, and even create your own custom designs. 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. It's a gift that instantly makes a room pop. Here's a gift that helps build healthy habits. 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. 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-ins so you never have to worry about losing it. It's perfect for the fitness enthusiast, tech lover, or anyone who you think could use a little help staying hydrated throughout the day. For the person who hates waking up in the morning, the JAL Sunrise Alarm Clock can make it a whole lot easier. Retailing for $50, it's a lot cheaper than some of the viral sunrise alarm clocks, but literally does the same thing. It simulates a natural sunrise, gradually getting brighter until it's time to wake up. It also has multiple nature sounds, and an FM radio, making for a much more peaceful start to the day. I'm not sure you could give someone a better gift than that. Bluetooth Speakers. Great gifts, always, honestly. But the JBL Clip 5 is one of the absolute champions when it comes to portability. Retailing for $80, this small but mighty speaker has a carabiner that clips easily onto a backpack or a belt. It's fully waterproof and dustproof, so it's durable while still pushing out a surprisingly big sound for its size. This is the go-to speaker for hikers, students, and anyone on the move. It comes in tons of fun colors, and you can even get a personalized Clip 5. 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 JBuds Luxe prove it. These over-ear headphones, for just $80, offer powerful hybrid active noise cancelling that effectively blocks out distractions. They're comfortable enough for all-day wear and have incredible battery life of over 40 hours with active noise cancellation on. That's better than a lot of those big-brand headphones that cost four times the price. Then, for the runner, cyclist, or outdoor enthusiast, I recommend the JLAB Flex Open-Ear Earbuds. The open-ear design sits right outside the ear canal, letting you enjoy your music or podcasts while maintaining full awareness of your surroundings. The earhook design keeps them secure during activity, making them the ideal audio companion 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 $60 and features a slim, minimalist design that looks great and is easy to take on the go. Both devices have silent clicks and keystrokes, which is great for quiet environments, and can easily switch between three different paired devices. Compatible with Windows, Mac, and iPad, it's the perfect device for the busy bees in our lives, whether they're students, professionals, or creatives. And, if you want a little more flair in your keyboard, you could also go with the stylish Popkeys model. Seriously, guys, I love these. If you're looking for a gift that is completely ridiculous and outright hilarious, the Automaton is it. This quirky, note-shaped musical instrument from Japan is just $35, and it's played by sliding your finger along the stem. And you can squeeze its cheeks to open its mouth. It's bizarre, incredibly fun to play with, and guaranteed to be the most memorable gift they receive. I promise. It's perfect for anyone with a strong sense of humor, even if they may not have a strong sense of music. Oh, are we rolling? Give the gift of relaxation to the person who stares at a screen all day with the Renpho Eye Massager. For $70, this futuristic mask uses a combination of gentle heat, air compression, and vibration to relieve eye strain, puffiness, and headaches. It even has built-in Bluetooth speakers for listening to calming music during a session. Renpho offers several models, the Iris 1, 3, and Zen, so you have a variety of features to choose from. I'd say this is the perfect gift for the in-laws or people who already have everything. If you know someone who is still using their TV's built-in speakers, or worse, still doesn't have a smart TV, please save them. The Roku Stream Bar is the upgrade they need at the best possible value. For exactly $100, it's a compact but powerful soundbar with 4K Roku built directly into the device. It's incredibly easy to set up and delivers a massive audio upgrade, making dialogue clearer and movies more immersive. It's a fantastic all-in-one solution for a bedroom TV, an apartment, or for anyone who wants better sound and smarts without the complex setup. The Sharper Image World Clock is not your average clock. I promise this is actually a really cool gift. It displays the time by using text instead of numbers. It's a cool way to show off the time in a more modern way, and because it uses LEDs, it works in darker rooms too. At just $30, this is a great gift for those friends with an eye for design, or also just anybody who can't 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'd actually recommend the IER-EX15C from Sony. Try saying that five times fast. They cost $30, making this pretty much the most affordable audio gift out there. The sound quality is surprisingly really good for the price, and you never have to worry about charging them or dealing with Bluetooth pairing. They're a perfect stocking stuffer or a fantastic backup pair for anyone who is prone to losing their more expensive headphones. Here's a travel gadget that is an absolute game changer, the 12South AirFly SE. For $35, this tiny device lets you use your favorite wireless headphones, like AirPods, with any wired headphone jack. That means you can finally watch in-flight movies or use gym equipment without getting tangled in cables. It's incredibly simple to pair and has a long-lasting battery, making it an essential gift for any frequent flyer. And hey, it even comes with this nice little travel pouch. This is one of those gifts that keeps up with literally anyone. The Ultimate Ears Mini Roll is waterproof, portable, and sounds amazing from every angle. It even has a bungee cord so you can hook it to your bike, backpack, or whatever you want. I'd give this to the friend who's always outside, traveling, or just needs music on the go. It's $80 and is worth every cent. Seriously, don't let the small size fool you. The Dragon Touch Digital Picture Frame is the perfect gift to help keep your family connected. 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. 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. These are perfect for the friend who can't resist a bit of nostalgia. The Nano Player Pro and the Pixel Pocket Pro feature classic Atari games like Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga in a tiny portable package. For around $30 to $40, they come in tons of designs, so it's an easy win for anyone who loves gaming on the go. I honestly want a collection of these for myself. It's so cool how you can get options based on your recipient's favorite games. I'll give you a hint, my favorite's Galaga. That brings us to the end of the video.
