With Christmas less than a week away, the scramble for the perfect last-minute gifts is on. While the main presents may be wrapped, finding those ideal smaller items to fill a stocking can be just as challenging. For the tech enthusiasts on your list, a clever gadget is always a winning choice. We've curated a selection of the best technology-focused stocking stuffers, all under $100 and suitable for a wide range of interests, available from major retailers like Amazon and Walmart.
Smart Wearables and Audio for On-the-Go Lifestyles
For the frequent traveler or fitness fanatic, wearable tech makes a fantastic gift. The WeariQ Bluetooth smart glasses, priced at $20 at Walmart, offer a sleek combination of style and function. Available in medium and large sizes with polarized lenses, they feature an open-ear speaker design and provide up to 10 hours of listening time. Adults love them, but they've also become a popular pick for kids on long trips.
In the audio category, two standout options offer incredible value. The Tozo wireless earbuds deliver premium features without the premium price tag. For under $20 on Amazon, these waterproof buds offer a custom fit with six earcap sizes, a staggering 55 hours of playtime, and crystal-clear sound from 8mm speakers. For those who prefer their music shared, the ultra-portable JBL Clip 4 speaker, at $60, clips onto bags and belts, delivering the rich sound JBL is known for in a tiny package.
Home and Productivity Boosters
Small gadgets can make a big difference in daily organization and home convenience. The Mini Rocketbook is a brilliant fusion of analog and digital. This $20 smart notebook from Amazon contains 48 reusable pages. Users can jot notes and lists, then scan and send them directly to cloud services like Google Drive or Dropbox using the companion app, effectively eliminating paper waste.
Smart home upgrades don't have to be complicated or expensive. A set of smart plugs, like those available for $16 on Amazon, allows anyone to control lamps or other devices with a simple button press or via a handy keychain remote, no extra app required. For Apple users, a three-in-one wireless charger is a clutter-busting hero. This fan-favorite device, starting at $20, can simultaneously charge an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods in one sleek station, and it folds for easy travel.
Gadgets for Entertainment, Safety, and Comfort
Elevate movie and game nights with a mini Bluetooth projector. This $80 device connects to phones, streaming sticks, and laptops, features built-in speakers, and even comes with a foldable screen, making it perfect for indoor or outdoor entertainment.
Never lose essentials again with compact trackers. The Apple AirTag ($29) pairs with an iPhone to help locate keys, wallets, or bags via a map or sound. For a cross-platform option, the Tile Mate two-pack is on sale for $26 (regularly $45) and works with both iOS and Android to find misplaced items or even a missing phone.
For comfort during Canadian winters, practical tech gifts shine. The Ocoopa electric hand warmer ($29+) boasts a 4.5-star rating from over 30,000 reviews. It offers three temperature settings, doubles as a phone power bank, and has an anti-slip design. Similarly, a pair of men's water-resistant, windproof gloves ($13) with touchscreen-compatible fingertips ensure hands stay warm and functional. For runners or winter walkers, a Bluetooth beanie ($25) lets them enjoy music without compromising warmth.
Other notable tech stocking stuffers include the Fitbit Inspire 3 health tracker ($99.95), Vibes high-fidelity earplugs ($35) for concert-goers, the Fire TV Stick ($50) for streaming, and stylish, protective phone cases from Casetify (starting at $60). With this diverse list, you're sure to find the perfect high-tech treat for every stocking this Christmas.
