Tech Gift Ideas Under $50 for Back-to-School Season
Back-to-school season isn’t just about pencils, notebooks, and the annual search for a backpack that might survive until June. These days, students need more than stationery—they need affordable tech gear that makes studying (and streaming) easier.
But here’s the good news: you don’t have to spend hundreds to upgrade your student’s toolkit. At DaveyDooDeals, we’ve rounded up the best tech gift ideas under $50 that are smart, practical, and budget-friendly.
1. Portable Phone Chargers 🔋
Running out of battery between classes? Not anymore. A slim, lightweight power bank can be a lifesaver for students who use their phones for everything from class schedules to Spotify study playlists.
2. Wireless Earbuds 🎧
Distraction-free study sessions are a lot easier with wireless earbuds. Whether it’s zoning out in the library or tuning into a Zoom lecture, good sound doesn’t need to break the bank.
3. Bluetooth Key Finders 🔑
Lost dorm keys? Gone-in-a-flash student ID? A Bluetooth key finder is one of those genius gadgets students didn’t know they needed—until they did.
4. LED Desk Lamps with USB Ports 💡
Because pulling an all-nighter with terrible lighting is basically self-sabotage. Bonus points if the lamp charges their phone while they cram for exams.
5. OBD2 Car Scanners 🚗
For college commuters, an OBD2 scanner is the ultimate budget-friendly tech gift. It helps students diagnose car issues before a costly mechanic visit. (Yes, we carry them too—at clearance prices 👀).
6. Streaming Sticks 📺
Perfect for dorm downtime. Affordable streaming devices let students binge their favorite shows without the drama of cable contracts.
7. Multi-Device Charging Stations ⚡
Between phones, tablets, earbuds, and smartwatches, students are basically running a mini power grid. A multi-port charging hub keeps it all organized and ready to go.
