If you are like many of us you always have a few people that you just can not figure out just the right Christmas present. You rack your brain trying to figure out what would be a good gift. You know they like technology but you are on a budget. All you can think of are the gadgets you know you can not afford, such as, a laptops and smartphones. While some of those bigger items might be off your there are still plenty of items, such as, lower-end tablets and accessories that you can buy for them that will not break your budget. The technology fanatic on your list will be thrilled that you thought enough of the to buy any of these.

Many of the items in the following list can also be found in brick & mortar stores like Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot and others that sell electronics.

• Tablets: For under 50 dollars you can still find a big selection of tablets for the young technology buff on your list. These are not going to be the top of the line tablets but still great for reading, playing games, watching videos, taking selfies, and more.
• Bluetooth keyboards: If the person your shopping for has a mobile device a great idea for a gift is a Bluetooth keyboard. Most of the keyboards are going to run between 20 and 40 dollars making them a great item for the budget. Some of them even fold for better portability.
• Bluetooth headphones: Bluetooth headphones make a great gift for the technology fanatic on your list. Just last year you would have been hard pressed to ind anything for a reasonable price but now with technology improvements there are plenty of options to fit any budget.
• Bluetooth mouse: A Bluetooth mouse makes a great accessory for anyone that has a tablet, laptop, or desktop. Most of the options out there will fit into your budget at the 20 to 40 dollar range.
• Portable chargers: Anyone that has a mobile device is going to want a way to keep their device going during their travels. While just about every mobile device comes with an adapter they are always getting lost, broken, or just burned out over time.
• Mobile carrying cases: Once the technology fanatic on your list has their devices and accessories they will need a way to carry all of it.
• Selfie Sticks: Taking selfies has become big over the last few years. So a selfie stick would be a great present for anyone with a smartphone. Most of these are very budget friendly at the 20 to 40 dollar range.
