If the gamer on your list is a newbie to mechanical keyboarding, consider getting them the 75%-sized Keychron C3 Pro. It’s our favorite inexpensive model, featuring shine-through PBT keycaps (with extras for customization) and built-in cable management (it’s wired with a five-foot cord that attaches to either a PC or Mac). The keyboard has some cool lighting effects that don’t require an app to access, but you can customize the device with the third-party VIA software. 

Your giftee can power their 4K TV streaming at home—or on the road—with Roku Streaming Stick Plus. The streaming hub makes it dead simple to add media or even Apple AirPlay to any TV with an HDMI port. It lacks Dolby sound, but makes up for that with its affordable price and the fact that it doesn't require a wall adapter for power. All that and a Roku remote.

Our top-rated indoor/outdoor security camera is both ultra-affordable and packed with features, including 2K video (2,560 x 1,440 pixels), IP66 weatherproofing, integrated spotlights, color night vision, motion detection, and storage both onboard (via microSD card, sold separately) and in the cloud (with a subscription). You can control the camera using Alexa or Google Assistant, and then view the feed on a smart display like the Amazon Echo Show or Google Nest Hub.

Eve’s Energy Outlet is PCMag’s Editors’ Choice favorite for a smart wall outlet. The device, which requires wiring, is compatible with nearly any smart home platform, thanks to support for Matter and Thread technologies, and can be controlled via a smartphone app. Plus, it will report on exactly how much energy it’s using. 

The programmable R8 from 8BitDo, a budget gaming mouse that delivers well beyond its price point, looks both futuristic and retro at the same time. While it appears to be made for the Nintendo NES, it's actually for PC gaming. The mouse works wirelessly, or you can plug it directly into your PC for three times the polling rate, which translates to significantly reduced game lag.

Do you have someone on your list who's prone to losing things? Get them the Tile Mate, a Bluetooth-powered item tracker that easily slips into luggage, purses, and backpacks. Best of all? It sips power and can run for three years before needing a battery replacement.

Listen up: JBL's Tune Buds are affordable earbuds (they're now $44.95 at Amazon) with great sound and bass response. They come in four colors (black, white, blue, and purple). Designed to sound good, they also have acceptable noise cancellation, and a customizable EQ in the controller app.

The Amazon-owned Bee Pioneer is an always-listening wearable that summarizes your conversations using AI and makes every chat you have searchable. The device builds an app-accessible background on you and what you want or need in life. Just note that your recipient will need to pay $19 per month to keep the service active. 

Got a wannabee influencer in your life who can use some help in the lighting department? Get them the Wuben E1, an “every day carry” (EDC) light that attaches via MagSafe to a phone. Flip up the light, and the user's visage is bathed in up to 300 lumens with three tones of light (warm/natural/cool). It can last 70 hours on a single charge when using low mode. 

Products shipping without a power block in the package are far less annoying if you have an affordable, multi-port wall charger, such as the Anker PowerPort 67W. It has two USB-C and one USB-A port for powering up everything—iPhones, Galaxies, tablets, and more—all at a max of 67 watts. The entire thing is almost half the size of similarly equipped blocks. Plus, it comes with a two-year warranty and features AnkerShield temperature monitoring to prevent overheating.

Apple’s new iPhone Air is both super-slim and seemingly close to unbreakable, but why put that to the test? Anyone with an iPhone (any model) or a Samsung Galaxy will appreciate Scooch Wingmate cases. Available in nine designs, they double as a wallet for your credit cards and cash and can transform a membership card into a kickstand.

The sleekly designed STM MagPod allows you to place your MagSafe iPhone or other magnetic smartphone on the top parking spot, pivot it to the desired position, and let it charge. Plus, the legs fold up to convert the unit into a handy portable charger. 

Think again if you believe smart locks are out-of-this-world expensive. The affordable Desloc C100 smart deadbolt replacement eschews apps and phones for a biometric approach. Simply place your fingerprint directly on the sensor and prepare for entry. Recognition time is 0.3 seconds, plus you can still tap in a code if need be.

Squeezing killer audio out of a tiny wireless speaker isn’t easy. Building on what it accomplished with the StormBox Micro speakers, Tribit designed the Mini+, a portable, cylindrical Bluetooth 5.4 speaker that runs for 12 hours on a charge. It can survive water, and thanks to an EQ app and a left-right acoustic design, it's capable of pumping out 360 degrees of surround sound. Available in black, green, and blue.

Perhaps you know a DIYer prone to gluing their own fingers together? Help them fix just about anything with a resin kit that won’t cure until they're ready.

You can even sand it or paint the resin.
