Twenty-five dollars goes further than you think. We picked 11 tech gifts under $25 that people actually use: trackers, chargers, speakers, smart plugs and creator gear. Every price below was checked on the retailer's page today and is a price at publish time. Black Friday is Friday, Nov. 27, so some of these may drop further, but these are already solid buys for stockings, Secret Santa and coworker swaps.

  • Best for an old TV: Roku Streaming Stick HD, $24.
  • Best under $15: Altec Lansing HydraMini 2.0 speaker, $13.48.

Roku Streaming Stick HD: $24.00 (list price $29.00)

Turns an old TV in a guest room or dorm into a smart one, with a voice remote. It's HD, not 4K, so it's best for smaller or secondary TVs.

How we picked

Every item here is sold and shipped by Walmart.com (not a marketplace seller), was in stock, and had its price read from the Walmart.com product page on Nov. 3, 2026, around 4:30 p.m. MT. Prices change often in the run-up to Black Friday, so the number you see may be higher or lower. Walmart.com doesn't adjust prices after you buy.
