‘Tis the season of giving, and that includes gift cards. Some people consider gift cards impersonal, but I love receiving them because I feel loved by the person who gave me the card and get to pick out a gift I want. I just got a gift card, and I ran to get myself a new charger. My wife and I always fight over who can use the 100W charger next to our bed, so I decided to just get another one.
But perhaps your home and office are already full of fast chargers. Maybe you prefer a game or gadget this holiday. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered as well with these eight gifts for under $50. Not all of these are on sale, but they’re all great bargains.

Deals for under $50
There are plenty of gift cards to go around this time of year. Heck, Verizon is giving gift cards away alongside an Xbox Series X. I just got a gift card and decided to use it to grab a charger. The one I bought is a similar model to the one listed above, though I’m in the UK, so it’s not exactly the same.
The other gifts here are great companions to gadgets you may already have or have received for the holidays. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is arguably the best bargain in gaming, getting you access to hundreds of titles you can play on your Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, or PC (availability depends on platform). You can also stream titles through Xbox Cloud Gaming. The subscription includes online console multiplayer as well.
Headphones can provide an excellent audio experience, but I don’t recommend bringing your $400 cans to the gym. I have a similar pair of earbuds to the JLab earbuds listed above, and they make a great gym companion. Since they’re so affordable, you won’t get that bothered when they’re covered in sweat.
I tried to spread the gifts around across a few retailers. If you got a gift card from Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, or a credit-card style gift card that works anywhere, you can grab yourself a nice gift at a bargain.
