pcmag.comIf you're not sure what to get for that special someone in your life who's is good for a new phone, TV or laptop, then our round-up of inexpensive stocking stuffers will do the trick. From Google's Chromecast streaming stick to Tile's Sport Bluetooth keyring lost property finder, we've got it all covered. Logitech K480 Keyboard Logitech's K480 Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard features a three point dial which lets you toggle between multiple devices and switch between typing on your desktop computer, tablet and phone in seconds. Windows (7-8), Mac OS (10.9 or later), Chrome OS, iOS and Android are all supported. It features a rubberised groove for tablets and phones to sit in and runs on two AAA batteries, which give you up to two years of typical use. Skullcandy Bluetooth Wireless Jib In-Ear Earbuds Skullcandy’s Bluetooth pods are designed to hang around the back of your neck and free up the audio jack of your phone and feature a built-in mic so that you can take calls on the go if you want to. You get up to 6 hours of audio playback time with these wireless in-ear speakers, which are also available in red, purple and blue. Tile Sport Tile's ingenious Sport keyring is a Bluetooth device that you clip to things like your keys, your bag, your wallet. When paired with the Tile app, this 'Anything Finder' will let you search things you've misplaced more easily, using your phone to home in on its location, at ranges of up to 200 feet. Tile Sports can even be set up to work the other way around; if you've got your Tile in your hand, you can squeeze it and if you're close enough, it'll make your phone ring, if you've misplaced that instead. RAVPower 60W 6-Port USB Charging Station Ideal for Christmas, where your family may well need to charge several phones, tablets, controllers, games consoles at once, as well as office and conference situations, RAVPower's charger is, as it’s name implies, a monster, with its six USB ports able to kick out up to 10W/2.4A simultaneously. While that's not as fast as some of the portable power banks out there, the main draw here is the ability to maximise your mains power charging potential. Choetech wireless charger for iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus (T511-000) One of the better wireless charging docks out there, Choetech's wireless charger comes with rubberised grips in the centre to stop your glass-backed phones from easily sliding off as well as anti-slip feet on its base to stop everything from crashing off of the table. It outputs at 5V/1A, which means it's not the fastest charger out there, but it does have the benefit for freeing up that Lightning port, if you wanted to listen to music on some wired headphones, or you're transferring data to and from your laptop/desktop. Amazon Fire 7 tablet with Alexa Amazon's Fire 7 is an inexpensive Android tablet which comes with Amazon’s own UI, Silk web browser, Amazon Appstore and Amazon's voice assistant Alexa pre-installed. The 7-inch screen features IPS technology for improved viewing angles and a resolution of 1024 x 600, giving you 171ppi (pixels per inch), which is enough for reading ebooks, browsing the web and streaming standard definition video content. In terms of storage, you've got the option of 8GB and 16GB versions, with the bigger model currently costing just £10 more. Amazon Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote The Fire TV Stick is one of the best smart TV devices out there; if you'd like to be able to access streaming services on your older, non-smart, but otherwise fine HD TV set, then for a mere £40, your Fire TV Stick will literally plug you in to a world of on-demand content. Slipping in to a spare HDMI port and drawing power from the mains adapter, Amazon's Fire TV Stick puts services like Netflix, BBC iPlayer, My 5 and Amazon's own Instant Video services on your screen. Google Chromecast Stick a Google Chromecast into the back of your TV, connect it to your router via WiFi and it'll turn your phone into a smart remote control, beaming - sorry, 'casting' - the content that you'd otherwise watch on your phone to the big screen. Apps like BBC iPlayer, Netflix, Now TV, BT Sport and even the likes of Kodi and Plex, if you want to be able to easily stream content somewhere a NAS drive isn’t accessible.
