Best Holiday Tech Items Under $100: A Gift Guide

The holiday season is upon us, and it's time to start thinking about gifts for our loved ones. When it comes to tech gadgets, there are many options available that won't break the bank. In this article, we'll take a look at some of the best holiday tech items under $100.

Portable Charger with Built-in USB C Charging Cable

One gift idea that's worth considering is a portable charger with a built-in USB C charging cable. These types of chargers are becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason. They offer convenience and flexibility when it comes to charging your devices on the go. One product that stands out in this category is a portable charger with a built-in USB C charging cable. This type of charger features a slim and sleek design that makes it easy to toss into a pocket or purse. The LED indicator shows battery life, and the charger can deliver up to 3,000 milliamps, making it suitable for most devices.

The best part about this charger is its versatility. It charges via micro USB, and comes with both a built-in USB C lightning cable and an integrated USBC cable. This makes it easy to charge multiple devices at once. The design overall looks good, making it a great addition to any tech enthusiast's collection. With its durable materials and compact size, this portable charger is perfect for anyone who's always on the go.

Google Home Mini

Another gift idea that's worth considering is the Google Home Mini. This device has been on sale for a few months now, and it's finally time to grab one before prices go back up. The Google Home Mini is essentially a miniaturized version of Google Assistant, allowing users to control their smart home devices with ease. With this device, you can ask Google Assistant to perform various tasks, such as telling you the weather, traffic updates, or even controlling your lights.

One of the best features of the Google Home Mini is its ability to integrate with other devices in your home. For example, if you have a Chromecast, you can use the Google Home Mini to command it and start streaming content from your phone or computer. The device itself is also relatively affordable, priced around $30, making it an excellent value for anyone looking to upgrade their smart home setup.

Hugo Portable Light

Last but not least, we have the Hugo portable light. This device is perfect for anyone who wants a reliable and compact light source that they can take with them on the go. The Hugo features a sleek design with a kickstand on the back, allowing it to balance and project its light in any direction. The switch on the back allows you to turn it on and off, and also enables color control, either by single press or long press.

One of the standout features of the Hugo is its portability. Unlike traditional lights that require a power source, this device is battery-powered, making it perfect for use indoors or outdoors. The LED light is also bright enough to be seen from a distance, making it ideal for outdoor activities such as camping or picnics.

In addition to its portability and brightness, the Hugo also features durable materials and a long-lasting battery life. Its compact size makes it easy to take with you wherever you go, and the color-changing feature adds an extra layer of fun and flexibility. With its affordable price point and versatility, the Hugo portable light is an excellent gift option for anyone who wants a reliable and stylish light source.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat you what we're doing just trying to get this Christmas list together I have so much shopping today oh yo we got to do the holiday gift guide I know I have some gifts in mind and I know one in particular I wanted to definitely include is pulse pulse the the phone repair company yeah you know I think it's a great idea I mean they have a great service I'm just I'm trying to think how that would work is like a Secret Santa gift that work like oh my god Julie I am so sorry I broke your phone last night I was just dancing with Greg from finance at the Christmas party but totally called pulse it's all right you're right you're right to be like that I'm just a nerd there has to be some really unfortunate circumstances for that gift to come into play but then again hey the Christmas times are crazy pulse yeah definitely pulse and then to the list for certain what's going on y'all check me out here and of course like I promised I got another holiday gift guide for you already done holiday gift got under 200 so this is Holiday Gift Guide under 102 start the list off is none other than pulse so firstly I want to thank them as they are the sponsor for today's video but ultimately what they offer is a mobile phone repair service if you follow my channel you know I featured them up here before if you've missed those videos I Malik them down below but ultimately I feel like this is one of those priceless so to speak how that he gives primarily because imagine this your dad your cousin friend whatever has broken their phone has been walking around with that broken screen for ever so instead of them you know making an appointment or having to send their phone off of repair you can have the technician actually show up to wherever they are and they're open 7 days a week so you can get really creative on how you're gonna actually surprise your loved one with the free phone repair on you now it's pretty cool that they don't just fix you know screens they actually repair other components as well such as you know the headphone port our battery issues different things like that I'm a link their site below so you can get a description of their services and they're not just limited to one type of device so these fix iPhones they fix Android devices they fix tablets like the services are pretty vast plus I think the other cherry on top aside from the fact that they come to you is the fact that they offer a lifetime warranty on their repairs and I don't know who any other phone repair service that does that so they pretty much stand by their repairs but I think is one of those gifts that you definitely can't go wrong with especially if you have a loved one just walking around with that broken phone so this next item here is on the lower end of the 100 range as it's about $20 but the functionality is everything so what you get here is basically a three-in-one charging stand you can actually charge your phone here in the front your Apple watch in this section here and then your ear pods in the back so all I have to do is just take my phone swap it in plug it in take my watch take it off for you for this for those of you that have been asking about this watch band I've done a video on it and I'm a link it below for you but I can sit my watch up here let it charge and then I can take the air pod case and sit it in the back now you can't see the air pod case because the phone is blocking it but ultimately you have your three-in-one charging solution right here now I will say it is not the neatest with cable management in my opinion but of course if you use shorter cables and a little bit of cable ties you can make it have a more you know I guess a pilling design there but I think despite that the functionality is worth it and it's not expensive so if you have that family member that seems to have all of these devices are building up to them this is a really nice accessory here to gift them for the holidays but thus far I like this item and I felt it was worth recommending now another gift idea to put on your radar is this portable charger with a built-in USB C charging cable now I had to put this onto the list because there are a lot of portable chargers out there but I don't know that many that have an integrated USB C cable they either have an integrated lightning cable or micro USB cable but they're not a lot on the market with a USBC cable built into it and its additions like that that make items like this even more essential so you have this kind of brushed aluminum design it's very slim and sleek so you can easily toss this into your pocket or your purse you also have an LED indicator up here to let you know the battery life it charges via micro USB and then of course it has the USB C lightning cable so the design overall looks good as far as milliamps you can expect 3,000 milliamps up here so for most devices it'll be able to charge them close to 100% if not to a hundred percent with at least one charge from this next gift is one that has been on sale for a few months now and I think it is the prime time to buy one and that is a Google home Mini so these are typically like $50 but lately they've been around the $30 range which makes it an awesome gift for a loved one because it can base Clee pretty much changes the way you get your tasks done day to day from being able to tell you the weather to the traffic even locations that are near you that you might want to know more about like okay google where's the nearest Walmart the address for Walmart supercenters Walmart Supercenter or you could say ok Google what's the weather currently it's 36 and partly cloudy tonight it's predicted to be 37 and partly cloudy ok Google what's my traffic looking like around me there's light traffic even though I'm SS and it's entirely up she still knew what I was trying to say now being this is you know to me very cost-efficient if you partner it with something else like a chromecast which is around 30 dollars I want to say or so it will then allow you to command tasks to your TV so you can tell it's a fire up you know a YouTube channel and hit subscribe button below or you can tell it to fire up your favorite show on Netflix so basically you'll then be able to start commanding the Google home mini to do things to your TV and then if you're using compatible smart home tech items you can do things like tell it to turn off your lights which actually brings me to the next item the Hugo so with this particular item this is basically a portable light or lamp so on the back of it you have this little kickstand here so to speak where it'll allow it to balance on the table and basically project the light at whatever its facing so the switch on the back is actually going to function as a way to turn it on and off and once it's on you can use the switch to alternate colors with the single press or you can long press it to turn it off so you can control it via the button on the back you can also control it with your phone and you can control it with something like the Google home Mini so you can actually command it to turn this light off but this is a light that I like to use in my videos I'll put it behind me as an accent light it looks also great behind a TV your desk the nice thing about it is that it's portable so you don't have to always have it plugged in in order for it to be used so you can not only just use this indoors you can use it outdoors as well maybe if you're outside chillin with your friends you need a little bit of light instead of turning on a patio light or something like that you can use the Hugo instead but I've been enjoying it I've had it for a couple of years in addition to a couple of other hue accessories so needless to say I think is worth the price but that right there is going to thank some of this list for best holiday tech items under a hundred if you have a little bit more
