The holiday gifting season is upon us, and there’s a good chance tech products are dominating your loved ones’ wish lists. But there is a wide range of gifts — at a very wide range of price points — if you’re trying to set your giftee up with the latest and greatest gadgets.

If you’re looking for budget-friendly tech gifts, the home tech category is a great option. Popular home tech products are typically less expensive than gaming consoles, nice headphones, and other staples, but they can be equally as useful for many giftees. One good example is the home security camera lineup offered by Blink. The Amazon brand offers some best-selling security upgrades that start well below $50 and make great gifts for all homemakers.

Another option is office gear, such as a new printer from industry leaders like HP. This route is especially good for younger people, such as college students or recent grads looking to set up their dorm or first apartment.

If you’re looking for a more substantial gift, audio and visual tech gifts are typically your best bet. On the audio side, one of our favorites this year is Sennheiser. The German brand has been putting out some great headphones that both audiophiles and average users can appreciate. On the visual side, we’re loving Sony’s cameras for any photographers on your list — especially if they’re relatively new to the art.

For all tech gifts, Best Buy is a great first stop. The electronics retailer is running some great deals during the holiday season, especially if you sign up for the My Best Buy Membership. This membership offers exclusive pricing, rewards, and extended returns/exchanges, all for the very reasonable price of $29.99 a year.

Here are four great tech gifts to pick up at Best Buy, starting at $28:

Blink Mini 2K+ Compact Plug-In Security Camera (2-Pack)

$27.99

These little security cameras from Blink punch way above their price point, offering crystal-clear 2K resolution, wide coverage, and an intuitive app experience. The cameras also have two-way audio with noise cancellation, letting you communicate with people in your home while you’re away. Best of all, the two-pack of Blink Mini security cameras is currently available at Best Buy for just $27.99.

HP DeskJet 2955 Wireless All-in-One Inkjet Printer

$89.99

A great tech gift under $100 is this HP DeskJet 2955 all-in-one printer. It’s compact and easy to fit in most workspaces, but can still produce high-quality prints, scans, and copies. You also get HP’s AI technology that helps correct layouts, avoid mistakes, and alter content.

Sennheiser Momentum 5 Wireless Headphones

$399.99

Sennheiser is putting out some of the best headphones on the market right now, including these Momentum 5s. The brand’s flagship consumer noise-canceling cans are built around 42-millimeter dynamic drivers that help deliver warm, detailed sound, no matter what genre you’re enjoying. The battery will last up to 57 hours, and, unlike most headphones, it’s also user-replaceable for real longevity.

Sony Alpha 6400 APS-C Mirrorless Camera

$1,199.99

If you’re shopping for an aspiring photographer, Sony’s Alpha 6400 is a great way to set them up for success. It’s smaller and more approachable than a traditional DSLR but still delivers exceptional image quality thanks to a powerful 24.2-megapixel Exmor CMOS sensor. Plus, it shoots 4K video and has a tilting touchscreen for getting different angles and easy menu navigation.
