The holiday season is one of the most wonderful times of the year, but it's also stressful. 

There are cards to write and cookies to bake, and there's shopping to get done. We can't help you with the first two, but if you're looking for inexpensive tech gifts your friends and family will actually like, you've come to the right place. 

Each of the 23 gadgets below is sure to make the techie in your life a lot happier, plus, they all cost $50 or less.

A wireless charging pad

There are many wireless charging pads available, but RAVPower's was one of the few to make the cut for our official guide. You can read all the details there, but if you're looking for a wireless charging pad that can top up your phone fast, this is our top choice.

RAVPower Fast QI Wireless Charging Pad, $49.99, available at Amazon

A Fire tablet

There's no better tablet under $50 than Amazon's Fire Tablet. It was recently updated with a more durable outer case, more memory, and better battery life. Its lack of an HD screen is a weak point, but the display is still fine for casually watching Netflix, browsing the web, or updating your social media accounts.

Bluetooth earbuds

There are thousands of Bluetooth earbuds to choose from, but iFrogz has the best budget pair I've tried: the Impulse Duo. If you know someone who wants a pair but is afraid of losing them, the Impulse Duo's clip-on design will make that a non-issue. It's one of the big reasons this pair made it into our best Bluetooth earbuds buying guide.

Audiophiles might not love how they sound, but for a pair under $50, I don't know how to do any better.

iFrogz Impulse Duo, $44.95, available at Amazon
