The 12 best tech stocking stuffers people will actually want (that may be on sale, too)
There’s a few stocking stuffer ideas that I think remain constant, and as a Gen-Z, portable speakers certainly fell on my own Christmas wishlists back in the day and are an item I still use now, years after initially receiving them. Portable speakers are extra great for on the go sound, and for activities like camping, hiking, the beach, and more. Sony, JBL, and Beats have long held the market for popular portable options, in my humble opinion, and the Clip 5 is the newest iteration of JBL’s classic clippable portable speaker.
Not only is this a great gift idea for teens and college students, but it’s great for any music lover, too. Plus, we’ve already seen it on sale ahead of Black Friday and anticipate it to drop to around $50 again, too. It’s also available in several colors to match everyone’s preferences.
Also: One of the best portable speakers I’ve tested projects booming sound
ZDNET expert Jack Wallen tested the Clip 5 speaker in November, and was thoroughly impressed. “When it comes to Bluetooth speakers, small size usually means small sound — unless it’s the JBL Clip 5, which produces surprisingly powerful audio,” Wallen says. “I really appreciate the JBL sound.”
