Go go gadget: We present Walmart's best tech gifts under $100

Some aspects of having tech lovers in your life are awesome — always someone around to help when your computer randomly conks out or when the TV gets wacky. But buying holiday gifts for them that aren't lame can be stressful. After all, you've gotta put out serious cash to get even a mediocre techie present ... right?

Actually, no — at least not at Walmart. There are tons of great options for tech-obsessed loved ones (and those who strive to be) at a variety of price points. We've even found some stocking stuffers they'll adore.

Here, we've pulled together some top ideas for under $100. You'll be pleasantly surprised at what that amount will cover: We're talking Beats headphones, Sony gaming controllers, Apple AirPods, even a smart TV from Onn. Happy shopping!

Beats are wildly popular. This iconic on-ear model connects to your device wirelessly and provides top sound quality for up to 40 hours per battery charge. That's a whole lot of songs, calls and podcasts. Choose from cool metallic rose gold, gold, silver and black.

There's no time like the holidays for a television upgrade. This little LED TV has 720p resolution for lifelike, crystal-clear images. Roku capabilities are built-in to allow for no-fuss streaming, and it's just as easy to watch via cable, satellite or HDTV antenna.

Anyone who uses a PlayStation will love adding the wireless DualSense controller to their setup. It has all the essential features like haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a built-in microphone and headset jack. Choose from 11 cool, new galaxy-themed colors.

It's great being able to take endless photos with smartphone cameras, but at some point, the best snapshots should make their way IRL. This smart printer does the trick seamlessly by directly connecting to a smartphone via Bluetooth, with an associated app for easy photo edits. The holiday bundle includes a starter 10-pack of film.

Forget your techie friends — this is the gift for the slow adopters in your life. We're now on the fourth AirPod model, but the 2nd Gen version is still totally worthy. It has most of the same capabilities as later editions (and certainly everything a technophobe could need) at about half the cost. In other words, a perfect, low-stakes way to test the high(ish)-tech waters.

It's always good to have another tablet around, especially for families with multiple kids. This slim, lightweight model has all-day battery power and is an especially great gift for your chronically on-the-go friends. It has reduced blue light emissions to protect the eyes, along with tons of useful parental controls for anyone planning to share it with their children. 

$78 at Walmart

Back to those slow-adopting loved ones: It's long past time to introduce them to the smart speaker. The Nest Audio is a perfect first foray. It easily streams crisp music and audio straight from devices, and also offers instant help from Google Assistant. As part of your present, make sure to offer a Nest 101 lesson. 

$50 at Walmart

It is totally possible to gift a quality smartwatch without spending hundreds of dollars. The iTouch has a sleek, minimalist design and comes with all the essential features: iPhone and Android compatibility, heart rate and body temperature trackers, self-care reminders and more. 

$60 at Walmart

Truly, is there any better Christmas present than '80s nostalgia? This take on the retro 8-bit Nintendo comes loaded with more than 600 classic games, all of which are instant blasts from the past. Best of all, it comes with a second controller — meant for you, of course. 

$45 at Walmart

Of course speakers are all about the sound, but it certainly doesn't hurt when they also look this cool. Gift it to friends who love hosting parties. They'll love the 20-hour playtime per battery charge and (for outdoor bashes) the IPX4 water resistance. 

$79 at Walmart
