Gadgets make for expensive gifts, but that’s the beauty of Black Friday. As noted in our roundup of the absolute best Black Friday deals, this year’s shopping event has brought steep discounts on Apple devices, TVs, and plenty of other pricey tech. However, unless you’re planning on spending a couple hundred dollars on yourself or someone else, many of the more expensive items might not be in your budget.

We get it, which is why we’ve curated this guide to our favorite deals under $100. We’ve included gift-worthy gadgets like the Fitbit Charge 6 and Backbone One controller, along with headphones like the Beats Solo 4, e-readers like Amazon’s latest Kindle, and streaming services such as Hulu and Max. There are even a few of our non-tech favorites at the end, just in case Legos and board games are more your thing.

The best earbud and headphone deals

• You can also buy Amazon’s newer Echo Buds for just $24.99 ($25 off) at Amazon. The wireless earbuds lack noise cancellation, but they support multipoint pairing and integrate well with Amazon Alexa for hands-free control. They also feature a semi-open design that makes it easier to hear your surroundings.

The best speaker deals

• If you want a smart alarm clock with a great display and zero mics / cameras, the latest Echo Spot is on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target for $44.99 ($60 off), matching its lowest price to date. The 2.83-inch touchscreen can’t display videos or double as a digital photo frame, but it can tell you the weather when you wake up and allows you to control various smart home devices via Alexa.

The best e-reader and tablet deals

• If you’re looking for a basic tablet for under $100, Amazon is also discounting many of the cheaper models. The latest Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet is on sale at Amazon and Best Buy with ads and 32GB of storage starting at $54.99 ($45 off), an all-time low. The 8-inch Fire HD 8 is a decent entertainment device for playing games, streaming, and other basic tasks, even if it’s not anywhere near as capable as the higher-end alternatives from Apple and Google.
• The latest Fire HD 10 is down to its all-time low of $74.99 ($65 off) with ads and 32GB of storage at Amazon and Best Buy. The Fire HD 10 offers a sharper 1080p display than the Fire HD 8, along with support for both the Made for Amazon Stylus Pen and Amazon’s handwriting recognition technology.

The best smart home deals

• Govee’s Christmas String Lights 2 are on sale in a 66-foot configuration for $63.99 ($36 off) at Amazon, which is their best price yet. The smart string lights offer more than 130 preset lighting effects, though you can also create your own custom displays. The IP65-rated lights also work with Matter, so you can connect them to any major smart home platform.

• The Kasa Outdoor Smart Plug (TP25) has dropped to an all-time low of $14.99 ($50 off) at Best Buy. You’ll get two outlets in the Matter-ready device, and you can control them with your voice using Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Samsung SmartThings. The plug also features a strong enclosure with IP65 water and dust protection, making it suitable for powering holiday lights and yard-bound installations all year long.

• Our favorite video doorbell, the wired Nest Doorbell, is around $98 ($81 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store, which is by far the lowest price we’ve seen. It may not offer 1080p resolution like other video doorbells in its range (it’s limited to 960 x 1280), but it still produces a clear picture and is one of the few options that can manage 24/7 recording. It also supports facial recognition with smart alerts. Read our review.
• You can get a Blink Mini 2 security camera for $19.99 ($20 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. The inexpensive 1080p camera builds on the original with a wider field of view, a small spotlight, and person detection (the latter of which requires a subscription). It also has color night vision, improved low-light performance, and weatherproofing for outside use with an optional adapter. Cloud recording also requires a subscription, but if you want offline and local video recordings, you’ll need the optional Sync Module 2. Read our review.

• Arlo’s new Wired Floodlight Camera is seeing its first sale at $99.99 ($50 off) at The Home Depot through November 29th. Arlo’s battery-powered Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Cam is one of our top picks for a floodlight camera, and the wired version means no more worrying about recharging it. However, Arlo’s monthly subscription plan for recorded video is expensive, starting at $8 a month.
• The Blink Outdoor 4 with its new Sync Module XR, which promises to extend the camera’s range up to 400 feet, is on sale for $59.99 at Amazon, a savings of $99. A Wi-Fi bridge for Blink’s battery-powered camera, the sync module XR can extend coverage up to 400 feet.

• Ring’s Stick Up Cam Battery is on sale for an all-time low of $54.99 ($45 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. The battery-powered 1080p camera offers weatherproofing, so you can mount and use it outside and inside, but you’ll have to pay for a Ring Protect plan to record video. Thankfully, basics like two-way audio, night video, and motion alerts are available for free.
• The second-gen Ring Indoor Cam is available at Amazon and Best Buy for $29.99 ($30 off), which matches its best price to date. Unlike its predecessor, the indoor security camera features color night vision and a physical privacy cover, allowing you to turn off video and audio recording. The wired camera is similar to its predecessor otherwise and features sharp 1080p HD resolution, a built-in siren, and two-way audio.
• You can buy Google’s wired Nest Cam for $69.99 ($30 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which matches its all-time low. The indoor 1080p camera offers snappy performance and free smart alerts for people and pets. It also comes with 24/7 recording and other useful features, including a Familiar Faces tool that lets you know who is in a room. However, you’ll have to pay for Google’s Nest Aware plan to enable those features. Read our review.

The best fitness tracker and wellness deals

• The Fitbit Inspire 3 is available from Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store for $69.95 ($30 off), matching its all-time low. The minimalist band lacks built-in GPS and doesn’t offer as many health and fitness features as the Charge 6, but it packs a bright OLED display and does a good job with the basics. It supports both irregular heart rate notifications and advanced sleep tracking, along with several stress management features. Read our hands-on impressions.
• You can buy the Hatch Restore 2 directly from Hatch for an all-time low of $139.99 ($30 off) when you use promo code BFCM30 (you can also buy it for $5 more at Amazon and Best Buy). The TikTok-famous smart clock, which also functions as a sunrise lamp and sound machine, is one of our favorite sleep gadgets. It offers a simulated sunrise, peaceful alarms, guided meditation exercises, and a selection of white noise so you gently wake up and fall asleep more easily. Read our review.

The best streaming device deals

• Whether you’re outfitting a bathroom or need some sensory stimulation for a newborn’s nursery, there’s still a bit of room in the world for 32-inch, 720p TVs like the Insignia F20 —which is on sale for only $69.99 ($60 off) at Best Buy. You won’t get many tricks, but it has HDMI Arc and it’s a Fire TV, meaning you have the convenience of voice-activated content discovery across hundreds of apps via the included Alexa Voice Remote.

The best streaming deals

• Now until 3AM ET on December 2nd, you can get an entire year of ad-supported Peacock Premium for $19.99 or six months for $1.99 a month. The streaming service is great for sports fans, featuring live broadcasts for NFL Sunday Night Football games, college basketball, Premier League soccer, WWE premium live events, golf, and more. It features scores of other programming, too, including on-demand movies and original shows.

The best charger deals

• Anker’s Qi2-certified MagGo Wireless Charging Station (Foldable 3-in-1) is available for an all-time low of $82.49 (about $28 off) from Amazon and Anker with promo code WSTDOZTVE2. The charger is a good option for travelers thanks to its foldable, lightweight design, one that can deliver up to 15 watts of power to MagSafe-compatible phones. It’s also capable of charging an Apple Watch and a pair of AirPods simultaneously.

• If you want a basic Qi2 charging puck, the Anker MagGo Wireless Charger (Pad) is our favorite on the market. It’s currently on sale at Amazon for Prime members without an AC adapter for an all-time low of $19.19 (about $5 off) — a price Anker is nearly matching with offer code WSPEV2OTG3CH. Prime members can also buy the charger with an adapter for $23.99 ($6 off). The magnetic charging pad supplies a maximum of 15 watts of power to compatible iPhones and comes with a five-foot USB-C cable.

• If you’re not ready to pony up for a Qi2 charger, Ugreen’s Magnetic Wireless Charging Station has fallen to an all-time low of $23.99 ($16 off) at Amazon. Unlike the newer Qi2 offerings that provide 15W charging speeds, Ugreen’s charger can only supply 7.5W of power to MagSafe-compatible devices, or 5W to a pair of wireless earbuds or any Qi-ready device if you’re using the integrated charging stand located on the bottom.
• If transparent electronics are your thing, you can pick up the Shargeek 170 Power Bank at Amazon for $134.90 ($64 off) or directly from Sharge for $129.90 ($69 off). The handsome prism-shaped charger features a 24,000-mAh capacity and a maximum output of 170 watts, allowing you to fast-charge most everything you own. It even offers a color display so you can see the remaining battery life, output, and other helpful info at a glance.

• Belkin’s BoostCharge Dual Wall Charger 42W has dropped to a new low of $19.99 ($10 off) at Amazon. It has one USB-C and one USB-A port for simultaneous charging and folding prongs that make it easier to slip into a bag or pocket while traveling. Its USB-C Power Delivery port meets the fast charging speeds of most smartphones, but you can also use it to charge tablets and laptops at a respectable rate.

The best gaming deals

• The Hori Split Pad Pro, our favorite Nintendo Switch controller for handheld mode, is on sale for $38.99 ($11 off) at Walmart and Target. The comfortable Joy-Con alternative is outfitted with large triggers, analog sticks, and a set of easy-to-reach buttons, along with more than enough grip that it shouldn’t pose any problems over long gaming sessions.
• If you have a wireless mouse that supports it, Logitech’s G PowerPlay Wireless Charging System is on sale at Amazon for an all-time low of $86.62, down from $119.99. Mice like the G502 X Lightspeed support the wireless charging pad, as does the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2, both of which will grant you infinite playtime without a single second of tethering.

• Microsoft’s official Xbox Wireless Controller is on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target in a variety of colors starting at $39.99 ($20 off). You can save on the special edition models, including the translucent ghost cipher and blue cipher models, which are starting at $45 (about $25 off) at Amazon, Target and Best Buy.

• If you enjoyed HBO’s fantastic adaptation of The Last of Us, The Last of Us Part I is on sale for the PlayStation 5 at Best Buy, Target, and GameStop starting at $29.99 ($40 off), an all-time low. It’s a remarkable remake of the classic title from 2013, with faster load times, better visuals, and other welcome tweaks. Read our review.
• Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is on sale for the PS5 at Amazon and Best Buy for $39.99 ($30 off), an all-time low. The sophomore game in Square Enix’s reboot trilogy is arguably better than the original, with added gameplay tweaks, improved visuals, and welcome character development that deftly expands upon the classic PS1 RPG. It’s all killer, no filler.
• Nintendo’s neon blue and red Joy-Con controllers are receiving a rare discount at Walmart and Best Buy, which drops them to around $59 ($21 off) for a limited time. The detachable controllers are still a great option if you play in handheld mode or while your Nintendo Switch is docket, even if they’re not the most comfortable over long gaming sessions.
• Dragon Age: The Veilguard is seeing its first notable discount, with the physical PlayStation 5 version selling for $54 (about $16 off) at Amazon. It’s been nearly 10 years since the last major BioWare RPG in the world of Dragon Age, and The Veilguard is a worthwhile follow-up that looks great and continues the signature storytelling and relationship building the series is known for. Read our review.

• Insomniac’s Wolverine could be years away; however, if you have yet to play the studio’s other superhero title, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has fallen to a new low of $39.99 ($30 off) at Best Buy, GameStop, and Target. It’s a terrific sequel to the 2018 open-world title, with new mechanics, more baddies, and the ability to play as two — count ‘em, two — spider-men. Read our review.
• It might not be Mario’s latest romp for the Nintendo Switch, but Super Mario Odyssey is on sale for $29.99 ($30 off) at Best Buy, Target, and GameStop, which remains one of its best prices to date. The excellent 3D platformer offers plenty of twists and charm on the classic Mario formula, mostly due to a new mechanic (read: a hat) that lets Nintendo’s iconic mascot possess a variety of objects and characters. Read our review.

• Need some affordable but sizable storage for your Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck? The SanDisk 512GB Extreme microSD card is just $35.99 (around $7 off) at Amazon. It’s been slightly cheaper before, but remains one of the most affordable ways to fit many more digital games onto a handheld.

The best location tracker deals

• The 2024 Tile Mate is available for an all-time low from Amazon and Tile, where you can grab it starting at $19.98 ($5 off). The platform-agnostic Bluetooth tracker helps you keep track of your personal belongings from up to 350 feet away, which is 100 feet wider than its predecessor’s range. It also now can send SOS alerts to your loved ones and even emergency services if you pay for the $14.99-a-month Life360 Gold subscription.
• Eufy’s new SmartTrack Card E30 is on sale for $23.99 ($11 off) at Amazon and directly from Eufy (with promo code WS24T87B1). Unlike its predecessor, the Eufy Security SmartTrack Card, Eufy’s latest tracker is rechargeable and should last you up to a year before you need to charge it again. It also sports a slim design — which makes it ideal for a wallet — and compatibility with Apple’s vast Find My network.
• If you’re really tight on cash, the last-gen Eufy Security SmartTrack Card is also on sale for $16.88 ($14 off) at Amazon, which is nearly its best price to date. Just bear in mind it doesn’t have a replaceable battery, though the one it does should last for up to three years.

Other miscellaneous deals

• You can buy Apple’s official iPhone 16 Clear Case with MagSafe from Amazon starting at $37 ($12 off), which is its best price yet. Apple designed the polycarbonate case so that it works well with the iPhone 16’s new Camera Control button. The company also added a “glossy scratch-resistant coating,” likely after many complained about how last year’s FineWoven cases scratched easily.
• Now through November 29th, Moft is taking up to $60 off a variety of cases, stands, and other accessories. The ongoing promo includes Moft’s Invisible Phone Stand and Wallet, which is capable of holding up to three cards and was our favorite adhesive phone grip in 2022. To get the $60 discount, you’ll have to order over $200 and apply the code BF60. However, you can also spend much less and still save, with Moft offering $10 off if you spend over $50 (with code BF10); $20 off if you spend more than $100 (using code BF20); and $37 off if you spend over $150 (with code BF37).

• Those with sensitive ears who are planning to spend quality time at music festivals, concerts, and the like may want to consider picking up a pair of earplugs like the Loop Experience 2, which are on sale for an all-time low of $27.95 ($7 off) at Amazon. They offer a universal fit and a noise reduction rating of 12dB, meaning they won’t block out enough sound that you won’t be able to enjoy the ambient vibes.

• If you’re looking for a more “innovative” way to eat cereal, the CrunchCup is on sale at Amazon for an all-time low of $17.56 (about $6 off). The absurd, two-cup contraption takes some getting used to, but once you get it down, it’s a handy way to consume breakfast on the go. Just pick your cereal wisely — not everything Kellogg’s makes is spout-friendly.
• Azul, a four-player puzzle game that challenges you to tile mosaics in a palace, is down to $19.99 (50 percent off) at Amazon and Target, which isn’t far off from the all-time low. It’s easy to learn and suitable for ages eight and older, but it has just the right amount of depth and competitiveness to keep family and friends coming back for more.

• Ticket to Ride is another classic board game down that’s starting at $24.99 (about $30 off) at Amazon and Target. That’s one of the better prices lately on a cutthroat card game, which challenges you to build the longest locomotive route across classic America before your other tycoon opponents.
• Love Letter, a tabletop card game that’s a mainstay in our gift guides, is on sale for just $9.99 ($5 off) at Amazon, nearly matching its lowest price to date. This game is the perfect ice breaker at parties, as it’s simple to pick up and play and it gets people casually competing with a fun card-counting mechanic.
