1. Amazon All-New Echo Dot, $28, original price: $50
“For the ultimate less-than-$50 gift for the tech lover you know, add the Amazon All-New Echo Dot to your cart. It’s the retailer’s ‘best sounding Echo Dot yet,’ per the brand, boasting clearer vocals, deeper bass and vibrant sound.
What’s more, it’s Alexa-compatible (our BFF), built with multiple layers of privacy controls and is apt to create routines — like automatically turning on the lights when you walk into the room and starting a fan if the inside temperature rises above your comfort zone.” — Victoria Giardina, commerce journalist and content strategist
“Candles make the most amazing gift this holiday season, and buzzy direct-to-consumer brand Otherland upped the ante in the flicker department. Its brand-new limited edition Fallen Fir Candle features its first ever three-wick design and is a lovely $86 gift for anyone on your list.
What’s more, its Fallen Fir scent has notes of balsam fir, musk and winter spice.” — Victoria Giardina, commerce journalist and content strategist
