We all know that person who already has the phone, the tablet, and the laptop they love. You might even be that person. It's tough trying to find the right tech gift for the person who seems to already have everything.
You know what? They probably don't really have everything. The best part about being a tech enthusiast is all the goodies that make the things you have just a little bit better, and Black Friday is the best time to find a lot of them.
For the photographer
Most phones come with an excellent camera, and some are astonishingly great. Plenty of folks take more photos when they have a great camera in their pocket, and everyone loves getting that perfect shot. You can make even the phone with the best camera even better with a quality lens attachment kit.
Carry everything
I can't say enough good things about this Adidas Excel backpack because I use one every day! You can fit everything you could think of taking along with you, thanks to its roomy pocket, and there are plenty of zippered pockets for smaller things and even two side pockets for water bottles.
Keep everything, too
Phone makers hate putting an SD card slot in their new phones, so many of the best ones out there just don't have one. With a portable SSD, you can plop all your media and documents on it and access it from anywhere with a USB-C port. These things can be lifesavers when you're low on storage.
Amazing audio
This tiny little portable DAC and amplifier brings your audio to life. Pair it with a good set of headphones like these Sennheiser HD 560s, and it's just like listening at home. This isn't the very best portable DAC in the world, but I think it offers very high-quality audio and has a great price point. It's the best value out there.
No more smudgy screens
I recommend these little wonders every year. The small package includes a spray, and the whole body is made of microfiber but covered with a clear, hard plastic sleeve. Yes, they might look dumb, but trust me, there is no easier way to make any touchscreen cleaner.
Sounds like party time
A Bluetooth speaker is an easy way to share your music with others, and this little one from JBL is loud, rugged, and cheap — three of my favorite things. I only wish I had seen the Sand color before I bought my plain-Jane black one.
Smart earbuds
When I saw the Black Friday price on these Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, I knew I needed to talk about them. See, I'm a headphone-a-holic, and these sound better than any other pair I've tried. They're chock full of features like most "smart" buds, and when it comes to sound, the Buds 3 Pro can not be beat unless you use a wire. They are one of the few products worth the original asking price and definitely a steal during this deal.
