Best stocking stuffers

Amazon Smart Plug — $25

Tile Mate

Tile Mate is a small device that you can attach to pretty much any item you own and track its whereabouts. You can make the Tile Mate ring as long as you’re within 200 feet of it, and if that fails, then you can still find it with location tracking. The real killer feature of the Tile Mate is the ability to make your phone ring–even when it’s on silent–if that’s the belonging you’ve misplaced. Its ridiculous utility makes it a fantastic purchase for any occasion.

Tribit XSound Go Bluetooth speaker

Tribit has some of the best audio devices on offer right now, and the XSound Go is an awesome, affordable Bluetooth speaker. It’s not as beefy as Tribit’s MaxSound Go–coming in at 12W as opposed to the MaxSound’s 24W–but the price and size make it one of a few perfect stocking stuffers out there.

Amazon Smart Plug

If you’re tied into Amazon’s Alexa ecosystem, then the Amazon Smart Plug is a perfect fit. It basically allows you to turn on any device that uses the Smart Plug, including lamps, coffee makers, and more.

Anker Bluetooth earbuds

Anker is another company that makes great electronic devices, including headphones and speakers. These Anker Bluetooth headphones are my personal favourite, as they’re a great option for working out and going on hikes with. While they’re not true wireless earbuds, I never worry about them falling out of my ear and getting lost.

Anker wireless charger

Wireless chargers are both cool and convenient, waving away the need to search for the right end of your charging cable before finally plugging it in and setting it down. The Anker wireless charger works with many different phones, but before you buy it, make sure your special somebody’s phone is on the compatibility list, especially if you can find it at a discount before Christmas.

  PDP remotes for PS4 and Xbox One
  
  This is a particularly great gift for movie fans. PS4 and Xbox One controllers tend to go to sleep pretty quickly while watching a movie, so if you ever need to pause, you have to wait a few seconds for them to turn back on before you can do anything. These PDP remotes work exactly like a regular remote: They’re always on and ready to control your media.

  Nintendo Switch Adjustable Charging Stand
  
  The Nintendo Switch is a great piece of kit for playing in tabletop mode, but using it this way can drain your battery pretty quickly. This charging stand gives your special gamer an improved stand over the built-in one and also keeps the Switch charged for those extra-long sessions.
