If they're not techies, stuff like chargers, battery packs, and headphones would be good little stocking stuffers.

There are these pretty dope bluetooth headphones from Aukey. Might be a good gift, since all the new phones don't have headphone jacks.

 

Also, things like the Google Home Mini or Amazon Echo Dot are fun things for people who don't have a smart speaker.

 

You could grab some MicroSD cards for people with phones that can take them, or cameras, or Nintendo Switches.

 

Speaking of Switches, there are a bunch of video games you could find for under $50, that could be good for the kids or gamers in your life. Controllers, such as the Dualshock 4 or XBox One controller can also be found for that price point in some places.

 

If you know they have smart lightbulbs, you could get them another one or two, or if you really like them you could get a starter pack.

 

One last thing! If they have a laptop with an old HDD, then hey, maybe consider getting them an SSD to upgrade to (as long as they don't need too much storage)!

Any suggestions and links to the product would be great thanks ;)

A couple things off the top of my head:

- Bluetooth tracker, maybe like the Tile. They're about $30 for one unit, last I checked.

- Dashcam. I recall that Xiaomi makes a nice one that costs $50+change.

- Mechanical Keyboard. I bought two of those chinese knockoff ones on Black Friday last year, and my parents say they're nice (although they might just be saying that to make me feel better lol). 

- Cryptocurrency. Bitcoin has been in the news a lot in the past few months, so maybe making a wallet and loading ~$20 of Bitcoin and Ethereum each. If they get really interested, maybe next year's present could be a hardware wallet (although that's like double your budget).
