00:00You don't need to drop hundreds to give a great tech gift.
00:03In fact, some of the coolest gadgets cost less than $100,
00:07and I'm really excited about this collection I've pulled together.
00:10You already know the drill.
00:12Everything you're going to see in this video is linked in the description
00:15in case you want to check it out.
00:19This cool little device is the Amazon Echo Pop.
00:22It's just $40, and for its tiny size, it packs a surprisingly full sound
00:27that's great for music and podcasts.
00:30It comes in a bunch of fresh colors to match any decor
00:33and puts the full power of Alexa just a voice command away.
00:37This is a perfect gift for a student's dorm room, a bedroom, office, or, well, wherever, really.
00:45If you're shopping for someone who's always on the go,
00:48or honestly, if you just hate cable clutter as much as I do,
00:51the Belkin Ultra Charge MagSafe 3-in-1 Charger is a total win.
00:55It powers your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch all at once with just one cable,
01:02and it folds up perfectly for travel.
01:06For $100, I strongly recommend this for anyone who wants something sleek
01:11that actually makes their life easier.
01:15The Anker 622 Magnetic Battery is my go-to travel charger
01:20and one of my favorite gifts to give.
01:22It just snaps onto the back of your phone for a wireless charge,
01:26no cables needed,
01:27and the built-in kickstand is really clutch for watching videos mid-charge.
01:32At $50, it's such a lifesaver,
01:35and the perfect gift for that friend who's always at 10% battery.
01:39And it comes in multiple fun colors.
01:42We all have that one friend who loses everything.
01:47A single Apple AirTag is $30,
01:49and it is a lifesaver for misplaced keys, wallet, luggage, you name it.
01:55It connects right to the Find My app
01:57and uses Apple's huge network to track things down,
02:00even from far away.
02:02It's a practical, techie little gift
02:04that everyone always ends up thanking you for later.
02:07If you're shopping for a gamer, artist, or anyone who loves quirky tech,
02:14the Devoom Timebox Evo is a no-brainer.
02:17For $50, it's a Bluetooth speaker, alarm clock,
02:21and a 256-pixel LED display all in one.
02:25I love that you can make your own pixel art
02:27or grab designs from the community.
02:30It's endlessly fun,
02:31and honestly, it looks amazing on a desk.
02:33Definitely one of those gifts that feels way cooler than it costs.
02:39This is one of those gifts that instantly makes people smile.
02:45The Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 prints photos you can hold in your hand,
02:50which feels so rare these days.
02:52It's super simple to use,
02:54has a selfie mirror built right into the lens,
02:56and churns out those tiny, charming prints in seconds.
03:00I'd give this to anyone who loves parties,
03:03nostalgia, or just a fun little creative gadget.
03:07And at $80,
03:08it's one of the most affordable instant cameras out there.
03:14This lamp is basically a party in a box.
03:17The Govee Table Lamp 2 lets you pick from millions of colors,
03:21control it how you like,
03:23and even create your own custom designs.
03:25I'd give this gift to anyone who wants their room to stand out.
03:29Kids, teens, friends,
03:30or even yourself, if we're being honest.
03:32It's a gift that instantly makes a room pop.
03:41Here's a gift that helps build healthy habits.
03:44The Hydrate Spark Pro 2 Smart Water Bottle.
03:47For $70,
03:48this insulated bottle keeps drinks cold
03:50and tracks every sip through a connected app
03:53to help you meet your hydration goals.
03:55There's an RGB light at the bottom
03:57that can flash a color of your choice
03:58to remind you to drink water
04:00and find my built-in
04:02so you never have to worry about losing it.
04:04It's perfect for the fitness enthusiast,
04:06tech lover,
04:07or anyone who you think could use a little help
04:09staying hydrated throughout the day.
04:12For the person who hates waking up in the morning,
04:15the Joll Sunrise Alarm Clock
04:17can make it a whole lot easier.
04:19Retailing for $50,
04:21it's a lot cheaper than some of the viral sunrise alarm clocks,
04:24but literally does the same thing.
04:26It simulates a natural sunrise,
04:28gradually getting brighter until it's time to wake up.
04:31It also has multiple nature sounds
04:33and an FM radio,
04:34making for a much more peaceful start to the day.
04:37I'm not sure you could give someone
04:39a better gift than that.
04:41Bluetooth speakers.
04:43Great gifts.
04:44Always.
04:45Honestly.
04:46But the JBL Clip 5
04:48is one of the absolute champions
04:50when it comes to portability.

05:02so it's durable
05:02while still pushing out
05:04a surprisingly big sound for its size.
05:06This is the go-to speaker

05:13and anyone on the move.

05:16and you can even get
05:18a personalized Clip 5.
05:21Shout out to JBL

06:51it's the perfect device
06:52for the busy bees in our lives,
06:54whether they're students,

07:20and it's played
07:22by sliding your finger
07:23along the stem.

07:31It's bizarre,
07:32incredibly fun to play with,
07:34and guaranteed to be
07:35the most memorable gift
07:36they receive.
07:37I promise.
07:39It's perfect for anyone
07:40with a strong sense of humor,
07:42even if they may not have
07:43a strong sense of music.
07:50Oh, are we rolling?
07:51Give the gift of relaxation

08:25or people
08:25who already have everything.

08:30who is still using
08:31their TV's built-in speakers,
08:33or worse,
08:34still doesn't have a smart TV,
08:36please save them.

09:17instead of numbers.
09:18It's a cool way
09:19to show off the time
09:20in a more modern way,

09:24it works in darker rooms too.

09:35than you might think.

09:40sometimes a simple,
09:41reliable pair of wired earbuds
09:43is exactly what you need.

09:46but I'd actually recommend

09:54making this pretty much
09:55the most affordable
