25 Tech Gifts Under $25: The Ultimate Tech Lover’s Wish List

Brace yourself for long lines, packed stores and out-of-stock toys, electronics and everything in between. We’re in the thick of the holiday shopping season. The struggle is real when it comes to figuring out gifts for friends, family and co-workers. Sometimes you know exactly what they want, but it will end up killing your wallet. Other times — and most of the time — you just flat out have no clue what they want. We’ve wrangled up some products and ideas to really satisfy any tech-lover’s wish list while leaving you with some extra dough.

1. Customizable iPhone 5 Case ($13): Know anyone with iphone case ADD? This modern, color blocking case comes in three different color choices and a total of six pieces. Not only will this gift save you some cash, but it’ll also save your phone-case-changing friend from having to buy more… at least for a little while.

2. Personalized 3D-Printed Necklace Charm ($25): Last month we mentioned the latest Target collaboration was with Shapeways, and now is your chance to utilize it. You can give thoughtful charms, figurines and ornaments to another fellow 3D-printing fanatic!

3. Cantaloupe Ear Buddies ($16): Jam out in style with these colorful and adorable earbuds. The cord is made with a fun polka dot print and it also has a volume toggle.

4. Cool Feet ($13): It’s been getting a lot colder lately, and even though we like using our overheated laptops as a way to warm ourselves up, it’s not ideal for the sake of your device. These four little removable feet allow laptops to air out freely while still being comfortable for the laptop user.

5. Kingston DataTraveler SE9 ($16): This 32GB USB is what we call a real bang for the buck.

6. Solar Powered Mason Jars ($15): This combination of classy-cute and tech will have everyone hoping you’re their secret Santa next year. These frosted mason jars softly light up your cold night to create a warm and cozy ambiance. To charge them, leave them out in the sun for a few hours and they’ll shine up to five hours.

7. iPhone 5/5S Stand ($17): This is the perfect iPhone stand for the minimalist in your life. The stand is made of maple wood and it also has a felt lining. It makes your iPhone stand both horizontally and vertically with ease.

9. 3D Printed Charger Dock ($20): This simple charging dock made from PLA plastic is compatible with iPhones and iPads. It can also serve as a nice little stand for your Apple devices.

10. Snap Band ($20): Remember The Clapper and its catchy jingle? This fun snap on-snap off watch helps you tell the time in a snap — literally.

11. Raspberry Pi ($20): You saw this one coming, right? This is every tech lover’s dream gift and the equivalent to getting a DIYer the Pro 100 hot glue gun. With the recent release of the more compact Raspberry Pi A+, you can grant any tech fanatic’s wish for only $20.

12. Belkin Fridge Mount for iPad ($18): While you’re waiting for MAID to start production, this fridge mount is a great alternative for your tech-saavy friend with a passion for cooking. In return, you might get some delicious goodies!

13. Cell Phone Bike Mount ($16): This one is for your adventurous friends and bike commuters. It isn’t made for a specific phone model, so you won’t have to worry about compatibility. Gift-giving tip: Be a stealthy Santa by giving universal gifts rather than a product catered to a specific model.

14. Compact Cartoon Speaker ($18): You already know our obsession with speakers, but this adorable little boombox speaks for itself. This fella is sure to jazz up any holiday party.

15. UrbanEars Slussen Adapter ($20): This MP3 adapter can be used as a splitter and as a DJ adapter. As a splitter, it’s perfect for you and a friend when you want to listen to the same songs together without sharing earbuds. As a DJ adapter, it allows you to pump up any party by listening to a track before playing it on the speakers. Download the free Slussen app to get digital turntables right on your phone.

16. StickR TrackR ($25): Attach this little tracker anywhere so you’ll never lose your keys, wallet or purse ever again. The tracker can be paired to your iPhone, iPad or Android devices via Bluetooth so you can always be guided back to your belongings. Just open up the TrackR app and you’ll be reunited with your possessions. If you end up losing your phone, just press the button on one of your paired TrackRs and your phone will ring. The app’s software even allows a Crowd GPS for those times when you think someone must’ve stolen your wallet.

18. Wrap Headphones ($18): Keep your earbud cords organized with this cord wrap. The wrap even doubles as a keychain so you can clip your earbuds to your backpack or on your belt loop.

19. Fisheye Lens ($20): This fisheye lens adds a nice hemispherical perspective to your photos. It is compatible with most Apple, Android and other devices because of its universal lens option. This gift would be perfect for all Instagram and VSCO Cam lovers.

20. Printed Portable Phone Charger ($24): These cute, portable chargers come in five different designs so your phone can recharge in style. It is also a universal charger because of its USB port.

21. MacBook Keyboard Decal ($18): Turn your keys into an adorable, bubbly keyboard with this MacBook decal. It is cut precisely so that your backlit keyboard won’t be covered, and the stickers won’t leave that gross after-stick when you want to remove them.

22. Powercube ($20): Conserve your desk space by using a Powercube rather than a power strip. The Powercube has four outlets and two USB ports so you can charge your phone and tablet while charging your laptop at the same time.

23. QR Code Luggage Tag ($15): Have any friends who travel a lot? Help them spot their luggage easily with this unique luggage tag. The QR Code makes their home address and other personal information more private.

24. Pivot Power Pop Junior ($15): Have you ever tried to use a regular power strip to plug in five differently proportioned cords that just won’t all fit? Especially those chunky plugs from IKEA! The Pivot Power Pop Junior allows you to twist and turn the outlets from each other so you can easily fit three MacBook chargers and an IKEA lamp.

25. Touch Screen Compatible Knit Gloves ($9): These touch screen compatible gloves will keep your digits warm while still allowing you to dial digits on your phone. Share the warmth and productivity with two friends with this set of three from Target!

Bonus: Customized QaRd ($1-$15): Why send out a family photo for Christmas when you can send out custom QR codes that friends and family can scan? You could have the QR code send them to a video of you wishing them happy holidays. Normal cards are so three years ago — it’s all about QaRds now!

People love to say "curiosity killed the cat" without mentioning that "satisfaction brought it back" — hence my love for celebrity books and memoirs. Apart from their superstar status, celebs are still humans who have other interests and lives outside of what's made them famous. Celebs are oftentimes placed on a pedestal, so reading their memoirs, novels, and otherwise helps humanize them. If you want a better picture of your fave celebs, here are the 36 best celebrity memoirs and books you can add to your bookshelves today.

Celebrity Memoirs

Listen up, chefs: we thought Jeremy Allen White was officially off the market after months of dating the iconic Spanish pop star, Rosalía, but it looks like they're no longer an item! Jeremy was just spotted kissing one of this co-stars from The Bear, bringing their on-screen romance to real life.

Pascal Le Segretain / Getty Images

Jeremy's on-screen romance turned IRL.

Photos of Jeremy and co-star Molly Gordon (who plays his love interest, Claire, in The Bear) obtained by People show things heating up between the two. The duo had their arms wrapped around each other as they embraced for a kiss. This is the first time we've seen them both linked romantically, and we're honestly shocked and left wondering what happened with Rosalía, who he was going steady with in fall 2023.

October 25, 2024: Jeremy Allen White & Molly Gordon Spark More Rumors

A month after Jeremy Allen White and Molly Gordon were seen locking lips in Los Angeles, Peoplesnagged more photos of the two as they enjoyed a nice walk in NYC. They look cozy in their casual fall outfits — complete with matching burgundy hats — and were all smiles. They've yet to confirm anything though, but they have all the makings of a budding romance that could be serious!

Scroll on for a deeper look into all of Jeremy's recent romantic escapades!

Jeremy Allen White's Steamy Dating History

First, there were the Jeremy Allen White and Selena Gomez dating rumors.

An anonymous submission to DeuxMoi at the beginning of July 2023 set off speculation that the two A-listers were “in touch.” The tip noted that Selena and Jeremy had allegedly met at a Vanity Fair cover shoot and hit it off ever since.

The gossip was neither proved wrong *or* right, though in hindsight, it didn’t hold up too strongly. Not long after rumors began circulating, the Haim sisters posted on Instagram about "single summer," picturing Selena alongside a Taylor Swift-backed girl gang.

Then, a big PDA fest with Ashley Moore.

Things were steaming up on the streets of Los Angeles when Jeremy Allen White was spotted engaging in some serious PDA with model and actress, Ashley Moore in August 2023. How they met is a total mystery, but seeing them together via paparazzi pictures was jaw-dropping – especially considering Mr. White was seen with his estranged wife and kids the week prior. Yikes!

Next, Jeremy publicly thirsting over Alexa Demie.

He’s at it again! In August 2023, Jeremy Allen White scrolled past a video highlighting Alexa Demie’s new campaign with Calvin Klein and did what any fan would do – he left a comment (though minimal): “Wow.”

To publicly show his affection (or rather, attraction) via Instagram is a whole thing in itself. King.

In fall 2023, Jeremy Allen White and Rosalía were going steady.

“Rosalía and Jeremy Allen White have recently started dating,” a source told Us Weekly in November 2023. “They started out as just friends, but things have turned romantic recently.”

Alexa, play "That Should Be Me" by Justin Bieber!

The duo had been sighted side-by-side a few times. TMZ shared photos of them together at a late-October 2023 farmer's market and even sharing a smoke break in a parking lot. Romantic!

That budding romance came after what we call White’s hot boy summer – he was out and about on the streets of Los Angeles amidst his separation from actress Addison Timlin. Throughout their divorce, White was rumored to be involved with Selena Gomez, thirsting over Alexa Demi on Instagram, and was publicly spotted smooching Ashley Moore.

Despite all of this, Jeremy was spotted being friendly with his divorced ex.

In what TMZ was calling "the friendliest divorce ever," Jeremy Allen White and his now-ex Addison Timlin had been seen doing family activities together amid his romantic antics. The pair shares two young daughters, which is likely why they're still seeing each other from time to time. Where Jeremy's head is, we can't say for sure, but we do know he's out there acting young, wild, and free.

After revealing her breast cancer diagnosis on Pod Meets World in August, Danielle Fishel continues to prove she won't let the disease hold her back. The actress and director took the red carpet for the Wizards Beyond Waverly Place premiere, and she opened up to PEOPLE magazine about how this disease continues to impact her. Here's what she had to say!

At the premiere, Danielle Fishel shared with PEOPLE that she was actually "back and forth" about showing up to the premiere. She said, "I obviously wanted to come tonight because I absolutely love this show. I'm so honored to have been able to direct a couple of episodes of it."

Still, there was something holding her back. She shared, "At the same time, everything I wanted to put on, I was like, 'I can see my scars in that. Oh, I can see my scars in that.'"

Instead of letting that hold her back, though, Danielle decided to push herself. "I was like, 'Why am I going to let that be a factor in deciding to live my life?'" she said. "I got dressed and I had my makeup artist do her magic and I feel fine." Ultimately, she said she was "happy" to be there — which is all you can ask for when you're facing down your fears!

Fishel told PEOPLE that her "whole life has changed" since her diagnosis. She explained that her life consists of "many doctor's appointments," check-ups, and side effects. She said, "It's not fun, but it is what it is. And with all that said, I'm very fortunate and I'm going to live, which is the most important thing."

Back in August, the star explained to Rider Strong and Will Friedle that was diagnosed with DCIS — ductal carcinoma in situ — which she described as "a rare form of breast cancer." Even though she discovered the disease at "technically stage zero," she underwent surgery to remove the cancer, as well as follow-up treatments.

When she announced her diagnosis, Danielle explained that she thought she would "would suffer in silence" and "not tell anyone." However, it's clear she's made the conscious effort to not only lean on her community, share her story, and brave the aftermath — surgery scars included.

Fishel's brave red carpet move comes after another fellow breast cancer survivor, Olivia Munn spoke out earlier in October about how her own scars. Munn bared her scars for a SKIMS campaign, after deciding she didn't wanna cover them up anymore. We're so proud of all these strong women for telling their stories and fully embracing themselves, scars and all!

No matter what kind of day you're having, Marissa Cooper's having a worse one. Mischa Barton's The O.C. character went through the ringer during the first three seasons of the teen drama (remember how she overdosed in Tijuana...and also saw her parents post-hookup after their divorce?).

And during her time on The O.C., Mischa Barton struggled with drug and alcohol abuse. She was arrested for a DUI in 2007 and eventually received involuntary psychiatric hospitalization in 2009 after allegedly threatening to end her own life. And in a new interview, Peter Gallagher (who played Sandy Cohen on the show) says he's "just so grateful" for "the fact that she’s still alive."

  • Mischa Barton starred alongside Peter Gallagher in The O.C. from 2003-2006.
  • The actress has revealed the "trauma" of being a star at that point in her life.
  • Peter recently opened up about how he's thankful "she’s still alive."

The O.C. follows Ryan Atwood, who moves in with the Cohens after getting kicked out of his mom's house, and starts a relationship with Marissa shortly after. While Peter Gallagher played Adam Brody's TV dad instead of Mischa's, Sandy was a definitely father figure for Marissa, and it seems like Peter felt that same responsibility off camera.

"I’ve always felt very protective of her," Peter told The Independent. "First fame is toxic. First fame can kill you. She was 16 years old when she started working with us, so just the fact that she’s still alive, I’m just so grateful."

“You can go to therapy every day for the rest of your life,” Mischa said in a 2023 interview with The Sunday Times. “There’s just a certain amount of trauma [from] all that I went through, particularly in my early twenties, that just doesn’t go away overnight.”

Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage revealed that season 1 overdose not only served as a cliffhanger, but gave “network executives an escape hatch on a performer they had been wary about” (via People). But Mischa Barton got her big break, becoming "how people knew the show," and (thankfully) Marissa recovered — only to die after a car crash in season 3.

As hard as that season 3 ending is to watch, Mischa did have the opportunity to watch it with Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke for the first time on their rewatch podcast. "It needed to be a thing, after everything she's been through, but if it's here I'll watch it with you," Mischa says.

"I couldn't do it, Mischa, I couldn't do it," Rachel adds. "But I'm going to do it if you're going to do it."

Mischa says even though being written off the show "was a little bit of a bummer," it wasn't necessarily a surprise. "The character was just doing too much," she told Vanity Fairin 2023. "And I think they ran out of places for her to go. It was not the best thing in the world, [but] there wasn’t much you could do at that point. It was whether she could sail off into the sunset, or die. At that point, I guess it’s better to have the more dramatic ending.”
