Last-minute tech gifts that won’t break the bank

The great thing about tech is that it doesn’t have to be overly expensive. It’s not only about over-the-top Apple Watches and fancy Surface Books.

These five tech gifts offer a bang for your buck while still making the receiving end happy.

1. Amazon Dash buttons
These cool little buttons let you order an item with just the press of one button. Out of toilet paper? Just press the button. Need more macaroni and cheese? Press the button.

2. Kero Nomad keyring lightning cable
Simple and brilliant, it is an MFi-certifies Lightning cable that attaches to your keyring. Seriously, buy one for everyone on your list and keep one for yourself.

3. Panasonic RPTCM125 earbuds

Everyone needs earphones, because they’ve either lost a pair or they’ll eventually lose them. These ones offer impressive sound at a low price. Plus they come in five different colours.

4. AmazonBasics ultra-portable Nano Bluetoothspeaker
Tiny Bluetooth speakers are cool, but this one is cooler. Instead of placing a Bluetooth speaker outside the shower, this water-resistant one lets you put the speaker where you’ll hear it.

5. Casio calculator watch
Sure, it is old tech, but it’s still tech. No it doesn’t do as much as an Apple Watch, but at under 5% of the cost, that doesn’t really matter. Plus you’ll get five years of battery life.

All these gifts are pretty compact, so you will have no trouble stuffing them in stockings this Christmas.
