Let this Oontz portable Bluetooth speaker add some oomph to your tunes. (Amazon)(Amazon)
There are thousands of Bluetooth speakers on the market, but if you spend even a few minutes reading through specs and reviews, you'll realize many of them would make a better sound hitting the bottom of a trash can. While a super-low price can be an indicator of poor quality, there's usually a little more to it. Take the Oontz Angle 3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker, for instance: It's just $23, down from $40, and more than 134,000 Amazon shoppers gave it a five-star rating — no easy feat. And why not? The audio is crisp, the bass is deep and it just looks cool. Pop it in a tech lover's stocking or wrap it up under the tree.
Apple's AirTag is one of the most powerful trackers you can get as an iPhone user. Simply connect it to your phone and use it to keep track of what matters — luggage, a purse, an expensive bike. You can also activate Lost Mode, which makes it play a loud sound. Grab this four-pack to put one in each family member's suitcase the next time you travel.
"I recently purchased an Apple AirTag, and I have to say, it's a game-changer for someone like me who tends to misplace things," said one user. "Setting it up was a breeze — just a few taps on my iPhone, and it was ready to go. The precision finding feature is fantastic; it leads you right to your lost item with directions and haptic feedback, which feels like magic. I've attached one to my keychain and slipped another into my backpack, and so far, they've saved me a ton of time and frustration."
Never fight with your family over outlets again. This electrifying gadget boasts five AC outlets and four USB ports, enough for everyone to charge their devices all at once. Oh, and it's much sleeker than having a power strip on your floor.

Don't need a full-size laptop but want a versatile screen for reading, streaming movies, browsing social media and more? Check out this Apple iPad Mini. It has an advanced A15 Bionic chip (meaning it's powerful and fast), has 64GB of memory storage, offers all-day battery life and has a small, 8.3-inch liquid retina display screen. It's also on sale for its lowest price ever at 25% off.
"My bigger iPad Air recently just broke so I was debating between getting another or getting the iPad Mini. I am so happy that I chose the Mini," said one shopper. "I love that it is light enough to carry around wherever I go but still has a bigger screen than my phone so I can do work/school on it. I have also been reading on it a lot and think that it is the perfect tablet for reading."
This little guy is water-resistant and weighs just 10 ounces, so it can go pretty much anywhere.
If you're hosting this holiday season, this powerful portable speaker is a great way to get the party going. It's a top-seller and has over 138,000 five-star ratings because it packs an audio punch. Shoppers also love the long battery life (up to 14 hours) and easy setup.
"This speaker is a tiny powerhouse with insane battery life," raved a five-star reviewer. "I use this in my old truck because the radio isn't in great shape. It has great sound, and I can go a couple of weeks of intermittent use without charging it! It connects easily to my phone, and the color coordinates with my truck interior."
On the fence about just how good this deal is? We can help. This is the lowest price this speaker has been in over a month.

This is one of the lowest prices we've ever seen for this portable speaker, and it's way less expensive than others of comparable quality, which can go for $100 or more.
Thanks to the magic of Bluetooth, this little guy works up to 100 feet away from your device. With 10-plus watts of power, this thing is loud — so feel free to use it outside when the weather warms up. It's only 10 ounces, so it won't weigh down your tote. And it's splash-proof too — which means you can bring it into that nice, hot shower and play music loud enough that no one can hear you singing along to the Doobie Brothers or Dolly Parton (no shame in that).
This pint-sized speaker comes in 10 colors and patterns — and a handy clip-on version — including unique ones like Golf Green (although prices vary slightly from color to color.) You can find the right aesthetic to fit whatever you're doing, whether that's teeing up for your best game yet or, you know, visiting the Coca-Cola Museum.
Over 134,000 shoppers swear by its long battery life (up to 14 hours) and easy setup.
"This speaker is a perfect size for a desktop," raved a five-star reviewer. "I listen to Van Halen all day, every day at work. The charge will last a couple weeks before I need to plug it up. Great device for the little amount it costs."
This shopper gave a thorough report: "We were out for a winter ride and lost the speaker on our adventure. It had been run over and pushed in the mud a bit. Once we got home, I grabbed the speaker and went to toss it in the garbage, but curiosity took over and I plugged it in the charger overnight. The next morning, I hit the power button and she lit up like the 4th of July. ... She was tossed out in the cold, buried alive, and still came back from the dead to give us sweet tunes on the trail!"
Added another fan: "Nothing to dislike about this speaker. Great sound, use it outdoors for get-togethers, at the beach, inside, wherever. It's great! Has lasted quite a few years so far. Purchased a similar brand-name speaker that cost me over $100 and [this puts it to shame] and has lasted so much longer! Definitely recommend!"
Some shoppers felt you get what you pay for in terms of sound. "I didn't expect the sound quality of Panasonic and what I received was very likely worth the price," said one. "After a few days, I decided this was not quite what I wanted to live with. Again, the speaker, for the price, is not a bad deal."
Agreed another: "Even though I got this on sale I ended up returning it as I thought the sound was not great. Sound is really subjective so look at other reviews re: that, but I will say that the build quality is great, it charges and connects quickly with no drama and I'm sure customer service is good."
