Hadiah teknologi terbaik seharga $100 atau kurang

It’s dangerously easy to go over budget during the holidays when, especially when your gift list seemingly gets longer with each passing year. It’s even easier to do so when you have a bunch of gearheads in your life. We don’t have to tell you that gadgets are expensive (hello, $1,000-plus smartphones), but not every piece of tech will put a huge dent in your bank account. To make things easier for our budget-minded readers, we’ve collected everything in our gift guide that you can buy for $100 or less here.

You’ll find the full list below, but you can also check out a number of stories in our gift guide this year that include almost all budget-friendly things. Our board games, tech toys for kids and gifts for travel lovers roundups are just a few that are filled with inexpensive yet super fun ideas, plus our annual tech stocking stuffers guide focuses on gifts you can grab for under $50. What we’re trying to say is, you don’t have to go broke to get solid tech for your friends and family; you just have to know which affordable items are actually worth your money.

Roku Ultra

If you're not a fan of the Apple TV, the Roku Ultra is the only other set-top box worth considering.

Kartu Lexar Professional 1667x 64GB SDXS UHS II

Tidak ada gunanya lagi membeli kartu UHS-I fotografer favorit Anda ketika model UHS-II yang lebih cepat dapat ditemukan dengan harga yang hampir sama. Itulah yang terjadi dengan 64GB atau 128GB Lexar 1667x V60 kartu UHS-II, masing-masing tersedia hanya dengan $33 dan $50. Meskipun tidak secepat kartu 2000x terbaik, Anda masih mendapatkan kecepatan baca dan tulis yang lebih cepat (250 MB/dtk dan 120MB/dtk) daripada kartu UHS-I mana pun dengan harga yang lebih murah. Jika kecepatan adalah yang terpenting, maka kartu V90 kelas atas SanDisk dengan kecepatan baca 300MB/dtk dan tulis 260MB/dtk dapat ditemukan masing-masing seharga $80 dan $150. — S.D.

AeroPress Pergi

AeroPress adalah cara yang menyenangkan untuk membuat secangkir kopi di rumah dengan peralatan yang tidak memakan banyak ruang di kabinet. Ini adalah pembuat bir serbaguna yang memungkinkan Anda bereksperimen dengan waktu dan kekuatan infus yang berbeda saat Anda menggunakannya. Saya suka menggunakannya untuk menyeduh cangkir kekuatan ganda langsung di atas es setiap kali saya lupa membuat minuman dingin. Untuk kutu buku kopi di daftar Anda yang sudah memiliki pengaturan reguler, AeroPress membuat hadiah yang luar biasa. Dan AeroPress Pergi bahkan lebih kompak. Ini terselip rapi di dalam cangkir yang dapat Anda seduh langsung dan sangat cocok untuk berkemah dan bepergian. — BS

Masakan DBM-8

Anda tidak perlu berbelanja secara royal untuk Encore untuk mendapatkan penggiling yang andal untuk kutu buku kopi di daftar Anda. Sebelum saya meningkatkan, saya memiliki Masakan DBM-8 yang melayani saya dengan baik selama bertahun-tahun, dan itu masih berlaku ketika saya meletakkannya di padang rumput. Ini adalah penggiling duri sehingga memberikan ukuran penggilingan yang konsisten dengan 18 opsi berbeda untuk dipilih – mulai dari kasar hingga halus. Hopper menampung delapan ons kacang sementara tabungnya dapat menampung kopi bubuk yang cukup untuk 32 cangkir. Karena Anda mungkin tidak perlu terlalu sering (jika pernah), ada pemilih yang secara otomatis akan menggiling antara empat dan 18 cangkir dengan menekan sebuah tombol. — BS

Ketel Listrik Gooseneck Cosori

Ketel yang baik sangat penting jika Anda ingin meningkatkan permainan pembuatan bir rumahan Anda, dan itu dapat membantu membuat banyak hal lain juga seperti teh, ramen, dan banyak lagi. Ketel Listrik Gooseneck Cosori mengemas fitur paling penting ke dalam ketel yang relatif ringkas yang juga dihargai $70. Gooseneck bisa mengintimidasi tetapi memberi Anda lebih banyak kontrol saat menuangkan Chemex, dan kami pikir Cosori, dengan lapisan hitam matte, juga terlihat cukup bagus di sebagian besar meja. Ini memiliki interior stainless steel dan lima preset sehingga Anda dapat dengan mudah mendapatkan suhu yang sempurna untuk hal-hal seperti teh hijau, kopi hitam dan banyak lagi. Plus, opsi "tahan suhu" memungkinkan Anda mengatur dan melupakan air sebentar; Anda dapat menyalakannya sebelum memulai rutinitas pagi Anda dan kembali ke air yang dipanaskan dengan sempurna, siap untuk apa pun yang menjemput Anda pagi itu. — Valentina Palladino, Editor Senior Perdagangan

BruMate NAV mini

Ketika datang ke mug perjalanan untuk minum kopi dan teh, barang apa pun yang layak dipertimbangkan perlu dicentang beberapa kotak – terutama jika Anda memberikannya sebagai hadiah. Mampu menjaga cairan tetap panas selama beberapa jam dan muat di tempat gelas sangat penting. NAV mini BruMate melakukan keduanya, dan dengan berat 12 ons, ini adalah ukuran yang sempurna untuk joe yang sedang bepergian. Plus, itu 100 persen anti bocor berkat tutup perusahaan yang kuat. Itu juga dapat membuat minuman dingin tetap dingin selama lebih dari 24 jam ketika seseorang dalam daftar Anda membutuhkan minuman dingin musim panas mendatang. — BS

Filter ini cocok dengan Miir's 32- dan 42-ons Wide Mouth Bottles (dan 33oz Tomo) untuk banyak kopi dingin yang halus untuk petualangan atau untuk bekerja.

Lampiran sesama Prismo AeroPress

Hiware Borosilicate glass pitcher

After the handle on my previous pitcher developed a crack, I went on a search for a simple but durable container that could support my iced tea addiction and after a year and a half, this thing has not disappointed. Its heat-resistant borosilicate glass means you can pour boiling water directly into the pitcher without worrying about it shattering and its huge 68-ounce capacity holds enough to keep an entire family hydrated. Meanwhile, the stainless steel lid prevents leaves or stuff like fruit pulp from escaping. And at $20, this pitcher is just great value. — Sam Rutherford, Reporter Senior

Botol Minuman Dingin Hario

If you know someone who always brings their “famous” iced tea to parties or picnics check out Hario’s Cold Brew bottle. It holds up to 750ml of liquid and comes with a removable strainer to keep tea leaves from spilling out. There’s even a grippy silicone top for easy handling and a removable stopper that acts like a cork. And if you’re worried it’s a little pedestrian looking to make a lasting impact, Hario makes a champagne bottle version too. — SR

Breville IQ Electric Kettle

For those on your list that prefer function over form, you really ought to consider Breville’s IQ Electric Kettle. In addition to having nearly double the capacity (57 ounces vs 30 ounces) of the Stagg, it has dedicated temperature settings for a lot of major types of tea (green, white, oolong and black). It’s also a bit more powerful with an output of up to 1,500 watts, so there’s less waiting around for the water to heat up. — SR

OXO Tea Infuser Basket

One of the easiest ways to brew better tea is by moving away from single-serving bags and switching to loose-leaf teas. That’s because typically tea bags feature lower quality leaves that often sit on shelves for months (or years) with the whole process favoring convenience over flavor. On top of that, the cloth or (more often) paper used to make tea bags can also impart unwanted flavors.

If you know someone looking to get into loose-leaf teas, they’re going to need an infuser, and OXO’s is one of the best. Its stainless steel basket won’t mess with the taste and its included lid traps heat in when steeping while also doubling as a saucer to prevent dripping once the tea is ready to drink. The basket is also a perfect size so it fits in practically any mug (and even many iced tea pitchers), and at just $15, it’s cheap enough to buy two or more so there will always be a clean one ready to go. — SR

Rekan Tabung Vakum Atmos

Sementara Fellow’s Atmos Canister was originally intended to store coffee, it’s equally great at keeping tea tasting fresh and flavorful, even after long periods. That’s because simply twisting its lid removes oxygen from the canister, slowing down potential oxidation which can cause tea to taste dull and lifeless. It’s available in three sizes (0.4, 0.7 and 1.2 liters) and in a range of materials, though you’ll probably want to stay away from the glass version, as light is another source of potential oxidation. (Leave the clear one for cookies or something.) And while it’s a bit on the pricey side, in my opinion there’s no better way of keeping even the fanciest leaves tasting great over time. — SR

Golde Superwhisk

For matcha lovers who don’t want to deal with the hassle of a traditional bamboo whisk or anyone seeking a way to quickly froth up some milk, Golde’s Superwhisk is a great pick. It has two different speed settings and a battery that can be recharged via USB. It even comes with an included travel case, so your giftee can take it camping or anywhere they want to enjoy some tea (or a latte). — SR

Pure’Tea Portable Tea Infuser

For people who want to bring their brew on the go, this charming portable tea infuser bottle looks great and makes the whole process super easy. Tea goes in the top section and water goes in the bottom. Right before drinking they flip the whole infuser upside down to brew instead of letting the leaves become oversteeped after sitting in water all day. The portable infuser also features borosilicate glass with a double-walled construction, so it can handle high temperatures without burning hands. Admittedly, there are similar bottles for less, but between its innovative design and premium materials, I can’t think of a better way to drink tea on-the-go. — SR

Breakaway Matcha Flight Kit

Getting into matcha can be intimidating for even long-time tea drinkers. Not only can matcha be expensive but, since it’s very finely ground green tea instead leaves steeped in water, it has a very different flavor profile and texture. So instead of buying someone a single type of matcha, give this matcha flight kit a try. It includes four different blends which range from bright grassy varieties to deeper savory mixes. There’s also a handcrafted bamboo scoop, a sieve, tea towel and most importantly, a motorized whisk for properly whipping up the perfect cup. — SR

Adagio Tea Samplers

For complete newbies to tea, Adagio’s loose teas sampler sets offer a huge range of types and flavors to choose from. You can select specific types like green teas from China for the Sinophile on your list, or opt for more general mixes like seasonal blends or even herbal selections. Prices also start as low as $12 a box for four different types, which makes this one of the most flexible and affordable ways of gifting a wide range of teas without doing a ton of research. — SR

Teh Kacang Kupu-Kupu

The first time I had butterfly pea flower tea was on my honeymoon in Thailand and it was love at first sip. It has a sweet flora aroma with some subtle earthy notes. But its signature highlight is its color. When brewed alone, you get a deep blue hue with hints of green, but when you add acid suddenly the tea becomes bright purple or pink. And because butterfly pea flower doesn’t contain caffeine, between its color and taste, it’s a great way to introduce kids to tea. Steep it, chill it, add the juice from a couple lemons or limes and a splash of sugar (I preferred agave), and in no time you’ll have the perfect summertime iced tea. — SR

They come in two colors, gold and gray – depending on whether you want them to pop or blend in.

SonyMDR-7506

Every music lover and music maker needs a good pair of headphones. There are so many amazing sets out there to choose from, but I remain a dedicated fan of Sony’s affordable workhorse the MDR-7506. They’ve been a studio mainstay for decades for good reason. They’re natural sounding, light and comfortable enough to wear for hours, and reasonably priced. The MDR-7506s are equally at home monitoring a podcast, mixing a club banger or just listening to some vinyl. In short, they’re a great practical gift even if you’re operating under a tight budget. — Terrence O'Brien, Redaktur Pelaksana

Strategi Miring

Anyone who practices some sort of creative art – be it music, painting or writing – hits a block at some point. There’s tons of advice out there on how to overcome these hurdles, but one of the most famous is easily the Strategi Miring deck. Developed by Peter Schmidt and Brian Eno in 1975, each card contains an action or a way of thinking designed to shake up your approach to a thorny creative problem. “Use an unacceptable colour,” “Make a sudden, destructive unpredictable action; incorporate” and “Emphasize the flaws,” are the sorts of vague instructions you can expect. And how someone interprets the prompts will produce different results for each person. If you’re shopping for anyone with a creative streak, they’ll find a use for this deck. — T.O.

In addition, there are graphics that help illustrate the concepts behind Dilla’s unique beats and what made him so special.

But this isn’t a rote how-to book, that sort of thing is only so helpful when it comes to mastering an artistic craft. It’s about building creativity into your everyday life.

Hades soundtrack

As Supergiant’s staff composer, Darren Korb has written some of the most memorable video game soundtracks in recent memory, but his work on Neraka may be his best yet. From start to finish, the Hades Original Soundtrack is filled with tunes like ”Out of Tartarus” dan “The Unseen Ones” that will make you stand up and shred an air guitar. It’s the perfect gift for fans of Neraka (and there are many of those), but you can also give it to someone who hasn’t experienced the game yet. It might just convince them to play one of the best indies of the last few years. — I.B.

Ksatria berongga

Okay, I lied. We do have one straightforward recommendation: Ksatria berongga. Team Cherry’s debut title is one of the best games made in the past five years. It combines the exploration of a 2D Metroid-like title with a challenging combat system that is reminiscent of FromSoftware’s Dark Souls series. Add to that a beautiful soundtrack, art style and story, and it’s easy to see why so many people are eagerly waiting for Ksatria Hollow upcoming sequel, lagu sutra.

Pengatur Waktu Multi-Kubus Mooas

One of the most difficult obstacles with working from home is all the distractions. You’re constantly sidetracked by temptations like TV, the internet or just easy access to the kitchen. A potential solution to that is to use one of these multi-cube timers from Mooas as a productivity tool. Each side corresponds to different lengths of time; to start the timer, you’ll flip the cube so your desired time faces upwards. Flipping the LCD display upwards again will pause it, while turning the display downwards will stop the timer.

There are a number of ways to use them, but I like using the Pomodoro Technique with these. I’ll enable the 30 minute timer which then encourages me to focus just on my work for the allotted time period. Once time is up, I give myself a five minute rest, and then I start it over again. You can also use them as a reminder to stand up and stretch every so often. These timers come in a variety of colors, each with different time pre-sets, so be sure to pick the one with the time lengths you think your loved one will want. — NL

Logitech Lift Vertical mouse

If someone you love spends all of their time on a laptop for work, getting them a wireless mouse can improve the ergonomics of their setup immensely. Not only are they generally more comfortable to use than trackpads, but they can also help improve posture and prevent hand cramping – especially if you get a vertical mouse. Logitech’s Lift is one of its latest vertical mice and it’s ideal for small- to medium-sized hands (those with large hands should check out the MX Vertical instead). The 57-degree angle in its design places their hand in the natural handshake position, which will put less pressure on their wrist than a standard mouse would. It also has a comfortable, soft-touch finish with four customizable buttons that are easy to reach. They’ll be able to connect it to their laptop via a USB receiver or Bluetooth and, regardless of which method they choose, the Lift will last two years before needing replacement AA batteries. — Wakil Presiden

Logitech C920S Pro Full HD webcam

Remote workers might not have to see their co-workers anymore, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have meetings. Any WFH employee will tell you that their days are often inundated with Zoom calls and Google Meet video conferences. That’s why an external webcam is essential, at least if you care about looking good. Our favorite is the Logitech C920S Pro HD webcam, which offers 1080p video quality, autofocus capabilities and white balance adjustment. One big benefit over regular built-in webcams is that they’ll be able to position it however they like, which makes it that much easier to put unsightly household messes out of view. It has a large 78-degree field of view plus a lens cover that will protect your loved ones’ privacy when not in use. — NL

Those who sit at their desks all day will appreciate a more ergonomic setup for less back and neck pain. One way to achieve that is with the Ergofoam Ergonomic Adjustable Footrest, which helps provide fim support for your feet and ensure your sitting position is upright. The footrest is made out of memory foam and is covered in a plush velvet, making it super comfortable as well. This particular model is adjustable to two different heights, which is great for those who need a slightly taller footrest. Additionally, the footrest can be flipped upside down and used as a rocker to keep your feet moving, improving your circulation. — NL
