This fitness gadget can last up to 5 days on 1 charge. Like other fitness trackers out there, you can keep a tab on activities like steps, distance, calories burned and sleep.

Don’t let the term ‘discontinued by the manufacturer’ put you off, I own one and use it everyday t o listen to songs and charge my iPhone 5 and now iPhones SE without any problems.

If you want to give someone a gift that is a combo of work & play; I suggest you buy them this awesome speaker charging dock by JBL. The dock charges iPhone 5 and later models along with iPod touch and iPod nano. The lightening connector will charge your gizmo in less time and… if you want to groove during this time then make sure the AC power cable is connected because you need that to get the uber awesome speakers get their jam on. There is also a USB slot at the back which then makes this sadly discontinued device a universally loved speaker. Capable of connecting AUX wires, you can listen to music via any device. Did I mention, it’s portable? Why yes it is. Just insert 5 AAA batteries and you are set for 4 – 5 hours easily. Since the price is going up every month, I suggest you nab this hard-to-compete charging speaker dock because its still under $100

What is life without a smartphone? Here is a portable charger which comes with two built-in cables for all smartphones supporting lightening cable and micro-USB cable. The integrated power indicator button on the side tells you the charging status and current battery life. With 4,000 mAH portable charger you can take care of both; Apple and micro USB devices easily during travel. If you are looking for something useful and under $100, then consider getting this. I got this particular tech idea from a newsletter sent by MyUS.

For the hygiene freak, set them up with this UV sanitizer 2.0. Simply connect the Sanitising device to a power outlet, place your phone inside and shut the lid. When the cleaning process is finished, the indicating light on top will go out. It takes about 5 – 10 minutes to get the germs off of your phone. This equipment is big enough to accommodate phones and phablets under 6.8″ L | 3.74″ W | 0.78″ H. This unique sanitizer by PhoneSoap (yes, that’s the manufacturer’s name) also acts like a charger. Simply connect the USB charging port into the back of this device and pass the wire through the secret tunnel to connect the phone while it sits for its UV bath 🙂 This particular gift idea was also taken from the MyUS newsletter which I’m subscribed to!

For the music lovers in your family, set them up with the JBL Flip 2. This gift allows people to stream their music via Bluetooth to this loud but compact mini speaker. For $67, they could share their music with the world.

Do you know someone who is into cycling? Hook them up with this ICEdot Crash Sensor mount attaches to any helmet and detects critical impacts. When the sensor is triggered, the paired phone sounds an alarm and also alerts your emergency contact via text message with your current GPS location coordinates. It pairs easily with a companion app running on your smartphone via Bluetooth and for under $100 you get peace of mind and your very own hiking/cycling fetish satisfied as well.

The name says it all. Solio is a solar-powered charger. Simply take it outside, plug your phone in, and let the rays charge your phone. It’s great for techies who love the outdoors. Priced at $67, this charger might be the magic you need under $100  budget for this year.
