And this list isn’t just gift cards or other virtual gifts that don’t need any shipping. Most of these do need to be shipped, so the earlier you order, the better. If you need other ideas for gifts this holiday season, check out our gift guides here. With that said, here are the best gifts under $25.
Razer Viper Mini
The Razer Viper Mini is a lightweight gaming mouse, and it is 10% smaller than the Viper. Because it is a gaming mouse, this does not have wireless capabilities. That makes for a more accurate gaming mouse. There are six programmable buttons on the Razer Viper Mini, which can be used for different macro functions and controlled in Razer Synapse 3.
myQ Chamberlain Smart Garagae Control
What if we told you, that you can make your garage smart, for just $20? Well, you can thanks to Chamberlain. This smart garage control from Chamberlain makes it easier to open your garage from your phone, using your voice, and even automatically. As you can set up IFTTT to automatically open it when you get home.
Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse
This is probably the lightest weight gaming mouse that is also wireless. It also has some pretty decent battery life, at about 250 hours on a single charge. So you can game all week without worrying about plugging it in. It’s also super accurate thanks to the Hero 12K sensor. It has 12,000 DPI, and six programmable buttons, like the Razer Viper Mini.
Kasa Smart Light Bulbs
Kasa – which is TP-Link’s smart home brand – has a four pack of its smart light bulbs for under $30. What a great way to start your smart home.
This is the previous generation Echo Dot, but it still works just fine and will for the foreseeable future.
Sleepbox Sound Machines
If you know someone that has trouble sleeping, then this might be the gift for them. This sound machine is able to do 25 different soothing sounds. From white noise, soft fan, big fan, campfire, among many others. There are also five different timers available, so you can set it to stop after a few hours.
Etsfmoa Unisex Beanie Hat with Lights
It’s winter now, and everyone can use a good beanie to keep their head warm. This beanie has a bright light on the front that will make it easier to see when you’re outside in the dark. Not only see, but also allow others to see you. If you know someone that likes to go running in the winter, this is a great gift.
Gooseneck Phone Stand
This phone stand is another great gift idea because it can be attached to your bed and be used to watch videos in bed without holding your phone. I actually use this exact stand for my iPad, to watch YouTube while I’m in bed. And it works really well.
Blink Mini
Now, unfortunately, this one cannot be used outside. And it does need to stay plugged in. Unlike some other Blink cameras, this one does not work off of a battery, nor is it weatherproof.
Kasa Outdoor Smart Dimmer Plug
This is the perfect way to put up outdoor lights, no matter what time of year it is. It’s a smart outdoor plug that can be controlled from your smartphone.
DASH Rapid Egg Cooker
Who doesn’t need a rapid egg cooker? This model from DASH is a pretty good option, and it’s just $20. This one is able to cook about six eggs at a time, and can boil them, poach, or scramble them for you. Which is pretty cool.
Yankee Candle (22oz)
Who doesn’t want a nice candle for the holidays? Yankee Candle has a number of different scents that you can pick up as well. And they don’t cost all that much. This is the 22oz model, which is the most popular. But there are other larger and smaller ones available. Additionally, this does also say that it will burn for about 110 hours. That’s not too shabby.
With a smart plug, you are able to control things that aren’t smart – like lights, Christmas trees and such – with your voice or with the Alexa app.
Samsung Galaxy SmartTag+
We’ve all lost things from time-to-time, and the Galaxy SmartTag+ is the best way to keep that from happening. It works as a Bluetooth tracker, but also has UWB included, so it is able to more precisely tell you where you left something. This can be attached to your keys, put in your wallet, or even added to a backpack.
But now you can also use Alexa as an intercom, set timers, get the latest news and much more.
There is also now power and volume buttons on the new remote with the Fire TV Stick 4K this year.
Tile Mate (2022)
This is the latest Tile Mate, and it’s under $20 which is really impressive. The Tile Mate is small and slim enough that it can be attached to your keys or slid into your wallet. And you’ll be able to easily see where you left your item. Thanks to the Tile app on both Android and iOS.
mophie Charge Stream Pad+
The mophie Charge Stream Pad+ is a pretty simple wireless charging puck. It can charge at up to 10W. Which is not a lot when it comes to wireless charging, but where most phones only do faster wireless charging with specific wireless chargers, this is about the best that you’re going to get. mophie does offer this in both black and white.
