Earbuds

It’s nearly impossible to go wrong with a high-quality pair of earbuds – after all, great sound is essential, whether you’re streaming video or kicking back with your relaxation playlist. Options are available at nearly any price point, making it simple to find earbuds that fit into your budget.

A power bank is a must-have for the smartphone user who’s always on the go. They make it easy to charge phones wherever it’s most convenient, even if there’s no outlet in sight. As with earbuds, prices vary, but several quality options can be found for under $20.

Bluetooth speakers

We’ve mentioned the importance of great sound – but what if you’re trying to listen with others? That’s where Bluetooth speakers come in handy. Simply connect your phone, choose a playlist, and turn up the volume to enjoy holiday classics or your favorite tunes.

microSD cards

microSD memory cards can be used to expand a smartphone’s storage to fit more movies, music, and photos. But here’s a bonus tip – get one with an SD adapter, and you can use it in your computer and nearly anything else that accepts SD memory cards.

Wireless chargers

Charging cables are essential, but easy to misplace or damage. Wireless charging pads put this annoyance in the past by charging compatible smartphones through the use of an electromagnetic field. Just lay the phone on the pad, and let it charge.

Virtual assistants

These hot tech innovations – including Google Assistant and Amazon Echo – connect to your computer or smartphone and recognize a variety of voice commands. They can even be connected to smart home appliances to make everyday tasks even easier.

Smartphone camera lenses

Today’s smartphones often have great cameras, but add-on lenses can help take your mobile photography to the next level. They’re usually available in kits at fairly low prices.

Smartphone cases

More and more smartphones are being crafted with glass, and that means damage is a common concern. Fortunately, the variety of dependable cases on the market makes it easy to keep your device safe – and give it a personalized look.

VR headsets

Mobile virtual reality tech is on the rise, and products designed to transform smartphones into portable virtual reality entertainment systems are now available en masse. Just remember: this is a gift that everyone will want to try, so tell the recipient to prepare to share.

Key finders

Shopping for someone who’s always losing their keys? The Tile Mate has earned popularity for making key recovery simple. Just attach it to the key ring in question, and you’ll be able to track it through a smartphone app.

Media streaming players

For those who don’t already own a smart TV, affordable media streaming players can be true eye-openers. They offer easy access to Netflix, Hulu, and numerous other subscription services (provided you’re a subscriber, of course) from any compatible TV.

Smartphones

We’ve already mentioned a bunch of smartphone accessories, so why not add a new smartphone into the mix? At Walmart Family Mobile, you can find a variety of feature-packed picks at prices that fit easily into any budget. Right now you can pick up an iPhone 7 and get $150 off or get $100 off an iPhone 6s or 6s Plus. While supplies last only so be sure to hurry (only on Walmart.com)! The best part? Once you’ve picked the perfect phone, you or the recipient can choose from a variety of flexible, no-contract plans that offer the same savings and quality you love about Walmart.
