Some of the best things in life come in the tiniest packages, including everything from USB drives to battery banks.
When you’re shopping for stocking stuffers, this year, you want to find something small enough that it will fit, but still big when it comes to excitement, and this year, there are more tech gifts than ever before from which you can choose.
Since you have so many choices, you need to bring in a balance of practicality and fun to the presents you choose.
Fortunately, a lot of these small sized tech gifts also come with a tiny price tag, to match. Not every device needs to cost a fortune. It is all a matter of choosing things that are clever, fun, useful, and appealing to the people who will be receiving them. For under $30, you can find a whole range of different gadgets and gizmos that will bring a smile to the face of the recipient and that will, hopefully, give them something that they’ll actually be able to use on a regular basis.
Check out the following awesome, small, and highly affordable tech gifts for the 2014 holiday season.
• The On Time Watch – is it wearable technology? Yes. Is it a smartwatch? Not quite. It is a button-free device that will show you the time and date only when you push its face. For around $18, you can choose from the pink, blue, and grey options. Great for a teen or as a lighthearted jab at someone who’s always late.
• Furry Plush Headphones – the music lover on your list can enjoy their favorite tunes with these over-ear headphones that also happen to allow them to sport fuzzy brown bear, white kitty or black kitty ears.
• Telephoto lens – these tiny devices look just like a small sized camera lens and perform exactly that task. Turn a cell phone (it’s compatible with most of the models currently out there) into a much higher quality camera in terms of its image snapping quality.
• Ring stylus – tired of getting mysterious texts from your friend or family member who has a bad case of “fat finger” when they try to use a touch screen? Give them a ring stylus, this year so that they can boost their accuracy, and you don’t have to wonder what that text that said “does husk make gaggles” really means.
• Mogix battery bank – this portable phone charger helps to make sure that your rechargeable devices are always full of juice so that you can avoid those frustrating times when you need to use your device far more than it is able to perform on one charge.
• iPhone Merry Charger – turn your iPhone’s USB cord into a fun display Christmas lights with this colored light decorated cord. Perfect for the person who has everything…except holiday decorations for their Apple smartphone!
