Cheap Tech Gifts

Shopping for cheap tech gifts for your family or friends is often difficult. You should take a closer look at the cheap tech available this season online. A person doesn't have to stretch their wallet too far for neat technological gizmos anymore.


USB Peripherals


Plenty of great USB peripherals are to be found, online and in stores, that are useful as cheap tech gifts. The USB Pet Rock makes a cute and cheap gag gift, similar to the iconic Pet Rock of earlier decades but with a USB cord attachment. This gift is ideal for college students and colleagues alike. The USB Plasma Ball is a much smaller version of a traditional science fair amusement. The device runs on power provided directly from the computer. Cheap and amusing, the USB plasma ball makes a great gift for use around the home or office. USB FlexLight makes a more functional gift. The USB Flexlight uses no bulb to provide light. Instead it relies on LEDs to provide 100,000 hours of usable light. While being entirely flexible and able to retain any shape, The Flexlight can be useful in a variety of activities such as night reading.


Keychain Devices

Energizer's LED keychain light is a simple LED Flashlight from Energizer. This light attaches to the keychain and runs on two CR2016 lithium batteries. The push of a button can provide enough light to sift through a purse or locate items in a dark room. The RJ45/RJ11 Keychain Network Cable tester makes a simple and essential device in the setup and maintenance of household and workplace networks. It offers ports for RJ45 and RJ11 cable ends. The device uses a simple LED light to show the cable is in proper working order.
