It’s that time of year again when I share some gift ideas that might interest you.

I thought I’d start with tech gifts first.

Tech gifts don’t have to break the bank. They can be simple gifts or useful gifts.

Tech accessories

I don’t know about you but I’m always up to having an extra USB cable or wall plug. It never fails I can never find one when I need it.

Wall plugs

I found this pack of 4 wall plugs that offer USB-A and USB-C ports. These work great and will come in handy around the house or when on the go.

There is also a multi-USB port wall plug that offers 2 USB-A and USB-C sharing ports.

Charging cables

I always like to have extra charging/data cables because I tend to lose them or they break with age.

I recently purchased this 3 pack of color nylon braided cables. They are 6ft long and have USB-C ports on either side. They worked well with my wall plug and my Samsung phone.

The cables are durable and seem well-made.

Here’s a multi-pack of USB-C to USB-A charging cables. There is even a 6-in-1 charging cable.

Power banks

Power banks are always great to have because you can charge your phone on the go. Or during an emergency.

I have these two power banks. They both work well and offer multiple connections to fit the right phone port.

Portable Charger with Built-in Cables this one offers a charged number. It also includes a built-in charging cable.

VEEKTOMX Portable Charger with Built-in Cables This one is similar to the previous power bank. It has a built-in charging cable. it offers, USB-A and USB-C ports, cables as well as a micro cable. It also has an iPhone and Samsung-compatible connectors.

Power-Bank-Solar-Charger This would be a good gift for someone who loves to be outdoors. It even includes a flashlight feature.

Bluetooth items

Portable speakers

Sony SRS-XE200 is one of my favorite speakers. I love the sleek design and the sound quality.

You can check out my full video review here.

This offers a quick sync to any Bluetooth enaed device.

Ultimate ears speakers

I own two Ultimate Ears speakers and love them. I have an older model Roll 2 that still works great as well as a Wonderboom.

Mini roll speaker. I have the Roll 2 speaker which they don’t make anymore. But the mini roll is very similar to it.

For under $80 USD isn’t bad.

I also have a Wonderboom speaker and love it. You can connect two of them to create stereo sound. It also offers a quick connection to any Bluetooth-enabled device. You can check out my review here.

The sound quality of both speakers is great and clear. You don’t have any distortion or quality loss.

Earbuds

Skully Candy has some good earbuds that I’ve had for more than a year.

The earbuds work well and have great-quality sound. They also offer noise canceling.

Sesh ANC includes a charging case and a USB cable. It also includes extra ear covers.

Monster Wireless Earbuds look like they might be worth looking into.

External hard drives

If you’re like me and like to back up your content or anything important an external hard drive comes in handy.

There are a variety of external hard drives and they come in different storage sizes.

Toshiba Canvio Advance 2TB Portable External Hard Drive this external hard drive is great to use when on the go.

Western Digital 5TB My Passport Portable External Hard Drive

Seagate Expansion 8TB External Hard Drive This hard drive is easy to set up and comes in a variety of storage options.

USB mic

If you know someone who creates content a mic is a great gift.

Blue Yeti USB Microphone This mic is great. It’s easy to set up and even has extra software you can download from Logitech.

I hope you found this post helpful. If you have any suggestions post them in the comments.
