As we mentioned in part one of the multi-part post, this year Thanksgiving and the first night of Hanukkah coincide, so we’ll be having pumpkin latkes and a turkey-shaped menorah. So while it is not yet Thanksgivukkah it isn’t too early to start thinking about gifts for this holiday season. Here are some great inexpensive gifts worthy of consideration.
Keep an eye out, because on the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving (the first night of Hannukah),
we will tell you how ONE lucky reader can win ALL of these under $40 gift items (and a few more)!
The $39.95 Flipside 3X Wallet is a well-organized, RFID-shielded wallet that makes it easy and safe to carry all your cards and a bit of cash with you. I’ve been using the review sample of the FlipSide X2 and am looking forward to getting my hands on the new version. It makes a great gift for just about anyone. Get it.
TYLT’s ALI-N Perfect Alignment Screen Protection
Screen protection is a reality of life. Smartphones cost a small fortune and their screens, no matter how tough they are, remain the most vulnerable part of the device. The challenge, at least for many of us, is how to get the screen protectors on the device properly. TYLT makes it simple to do just that with this innovative kit that includes 4 different screen films. Available for both the Samsung GALAXY S4 and iPhone 5/5S for $24.99 each. (We will be including the kit for the iPhone 5/5S in the giveaway.) Get it.
iFrogz Audio Coda Buds with Mic Green
Bright colors meet sleek contours in these cool but inexpensive earbuds. The Coda earbuds feature bright colors, sleek contours, 10 mm drivers and an in-line single-button remote/mic and are just $22.99 each.
Check out all the pretty colors. Get them.
This lightweight camera bag is made from durable, weather-resistant fabrics and is perfect if your loved one uses a point and shoot or small mirror less camera. It may look like a simple bag but padded and softly lined device compartments will protect gear against dust, scratches and abrasion. The expandable main compartment unzips for those times when a bit more storage space is needed. This $39.99 bag is great for the person who carries a 7ʺ tablet, a smartphone, a few personal items and a small compact camera. Get it.
