Save on Blink, Anker, Roku and Fire TV
Forget iPads and TVs. This list covers everything you can buy for under $25. There are a surprising number of deals on Amazon for tools, accessories, and small electronics that we’ve tested and recommend. If you’re looking for small speakers to keep you company by the fire pit, a new cable that won’t break you, or a smart plug to control your Halloween lights, check out this list. We’ve linked our buying guides and reviews so you can read up on the product before spending your hard-earned (but less than $25) dollars. Here are Engadget’s picks for the best under $25.

Chipolo Pop Bluetooth Tracker for $25 ($4 off): If you lose things, stop them with a Bluetooth tracker like this. The Pop is our current top pick in our guide. It works with either Apple’s Find My app or Google’s Find Hub app, connecting to iPhone or Android phone users respectively to anonymously ping lost items so you can find them.
Audiobook (three months) for $3 ($42 discount): From now until mid-December, you can get an audiobook subscription from Amazon for just $1 per month for three months. Note that it will automatically renew at $15 per month after that, but you can cancel at any time.
Amazon Smart Plug for $13 ($12 off): We’ve named this the best smart plug for Alexa users because it plugs in painlessly and stays connected reliably. Use it to control lamps or holiday lights using programs and schedules in the Alexa app, or just with your voice by speaking to your Echo Dot or other Alexa-enabled listener.
Kasa TP-Link Smart Wi-FI External Plug for $15 ($7 off with Prime): We tested a similar plug for our buying guide for smart plugs and named it our top outdoor pick for HomeKit users — but this model only works with Alexa and Google Assistant. The range was decent and setup was easy, like most TP-Link plugs. Get this now and enjoy automatic control of your holiday lights.
Anker Soundcore Select 4 Go speaker for $23 ($12 off with Prime): This is one of our top picks for a Bluetooth speaker. It is quite loud for its size and has good sound quality. You can pair two together for stereo sound, too, and its IP67-rated design will keep it protected against water and dust.
Belkin Apple AirTag Holder for $15 ($5 off with Prime)The best thing about Apple’s AirTags is their ability to link most nearby iPhones to anonymously search for lost trackers. Probably the worst thing is the slippery little disc shape that can’t be attached to anything without some help. This is the solution we suggest in our iPhone accessory guide.

Anker Nano, 30W USB-C charger for $13 ($4 off with Prime): Here’s a small but powerful wall adapter we love for iPhone (but it will work with iPad, too). It can transmit 30 watts of power to your device and looks great doing so in five different pearlescent colors.
Anker Nano portable charger for $20 ($10 off with Prime): It looks like an old lipstick case and is partially refillable for any small device with a USB-C port. We called it a good choice after testing it for our battery guide.
Anker USB-C to USB-C Cable (10FT, 100W) for $9 ($3 off with Prime): Having a bad cable is almost as bad as having no cable at all. We’re big fans of Anker’s cords. This device is 10 feet long and can deliver up to 100 watts of power. Although it can transfer data, it does so slowly, so don’t use it for this purpose. That’s $1 more than what was sold as a Prime exclusive in July.
Anker Right-Angle USB-C Braided Charging Cable (2-pack) for $9 ($7 off with Prime): This is the cable I used to turn my old iPad into a digital photo frame. The right angle looks sleeker than a straight cable, plus this cable can transfer up to 240W of power while charging.
Samsung EVO Select microSD Card (128GB) for $13 ($4 off): This Samsung card has been one of our recommended models for a long time. It’s a no-frills microSD card, and while it’s not the fastest, it will be perfectly capable of working in most devices where you’re just looking for simple, expanded storage. The larger 256GB model is on sale for $23, but the 128GB model is a better deal for the dollar.

Jisulife Life7 portable fan for $23 ($6 off with Prime): This handy little fan is a must-have if you live in a warm climate or are planning a tropical vacation anytime soon. It can be used as a table or portable fan and can be worn around the neck so you don’t have to carry it at all. Its 5,000 mAh battery allows it to last for hours on a single charge, and the small screen in the middle of the fan blades shows the remaining battery level.
Pebblebee Clip Universal for $25 ($10 off with Prime): This is our second pick for a rechargeable Bluetooth tracker. It’s ear-splittingly loud, has bright flashing LEDs and works with Google or Apple’s search networks.
Roku streaming Stick HD for $18 ($12 off): If you don’t care about 4K (or your screen isn’t that high resolution anyway), you can still get the same easy-to-use Roku OS we loved in our guide with this device. The best thing about Roku devices is access to all the free content, and this is an affordable way to get it.
Amazon Fire TV Stick HD for $18 ($17 off): Here’s what we called the best budget streaming stick. For a low price and only an HD resolution, you shouldn’t expect a premium picture, but if you just want a quick way to get your streaming apps up and running on a basic display, this will do the trick.
Ring indoor camera for $25 ($25 off): Although we thought the Blink Mini 2 was a better overall indoor camera in our guide, we like the Ring app, which is perfect for beginners. Plus you get access to the Ring Neighbors app which is a great glimpse into events captured by Ring in your area.
Echo Pop smart speaker for $25 ($15 off): The Half Sphere Pop is the most affordable Echo speaker in Amazon’s lineup. It won’t be as full sounding as its larger siblings, but it will do a good job of bringing the help of Alexa into smaller rooms. Just note that it dropped to $18 on Black Friday and Prime Day of October last year.
JLab Go Air Pop+ for $17 ($13 off with Prime): JLab earbuds appear in a few of our guides including the best working headphones and the best budget headphones. The Pop+ earbuds are smaller and lighter than the previous model, and preset EQ modes in the app let you customize your sound. Total battery life with the case is over 35 hours.
Amazon Basics Smart LED Light Bulb for $9 ($3 off with Prime): We didn’t test this device for our smart bulbs guide, but it’s hard to argue with that price — and I’ve found this device’s equivalent smart plug to be one of the most reliable pieces of smart home technology I’ve tried. Like all of Amazon’s smart home devices, this only works with Alexa devices like the Echo speaker (and any smartphone).
Samsung Fit Plus 256GB for $23 (30 percent off): We called this flash drive one of the best SSDs you can buy. This configuration has 256GB of storage and read speeds of 400MB/s. They are also designed to resist water, extreme temperatures, magnets, and even radiation.
Thermacell E55 Rechargeable Insect Repeller for $19 ($16 off): Mosquitoes aren’t going anywhere. Even places that were not accustomed to evil vampires were now overrun. If you want to get some relief from bites, this is the insect repeller we recommend in our guide to outdoor technology.
