Top Picks for 2025: The Best Tech Gifts Under $200

Struggling to find the right gift this year? We’ve put together the best tech gifts under $200 for gadget enthusiasts. 

We’ve selected practical, premium tech gifts designed to last beyond the holiday season, not just your typical throwaway stocking fillers. Whether it’s the best iPad accessories, a travel-ready keyboard, or headphones, each one combines function, design, and value.

The Quick List of Tech Gifts Under $200

1. ZUGU 360 Case

It only makes sense to start with one of the standout iPad accessories of 2025 — the ZUGU 360 Case. If you're buying for an iPad owner, start here! 

Most people tolerate their iPad case; they don't love it. Why? Because their case is almost always an afterthought. 

Our 360 Case is different. It’s an upgrade-worthy premium device, suitable for iPad Pro models 11 and 13, featuring M4/M5 processors.

In celebration of our 15th anniversary, we’ve created our most premium case yet. With 8+ stand angles and full magnetic adjustment, it transforms your iPad into a workstation. The added side-by-side mode allows you to use your iPad and iPhone together, making it perfect for office tasks, study sessions, or college projects.

With aluminium buttons and fibreglass construction, each detail matters. It was designed and crafted with meticulous attention to detail, aiming for unmatched precision and quality. When you buy a 360 Case, don’t forget about our screen protectors.

2. Apple AirTag 4-Pack

We all know someone who misplaces their keys, wallet, or backpack. Maybe it's you! A 4-pack of Apple AirTags makes a handy gift that can prevent a mini-panic.

They're small, water-resistant, and the battery lasts approximately a year before needing replacement. They sync directly with the Find My app on any iPad or iPhone, making a great gift for iPad users.

If you purchase them from the Apple Store, you can get them engraved with an emoji or initials for a fun and personal touch.

3. Portable Bluetooth Keyboard

For the writers, creatives, or workaholics in your life, a portable Bluetooth keyboard can completely transform their workday.

A separate keyboard promotes good posture and offers improved ergonomics, reducing strain on hands and wrists. Instead of hunching over a screen, your loved one can set up their iPad on a ZUGU case type comfortably, just as they would on a laptop. 

There are some great options for Bluetooth keyboards under $200 that feel great to type on and have a long battery life. If you’ve got a little budget left over, you could also add a wireless mouse for an epic work setup.

4. Premium Earphones or Earbuds

For noisy commutes, loud offices, or busy dorms, a little peace and quiet is priceless. Noise-cancelling earbuds can block out distractions, helping us stay focused and relaxed.

If you’re looking for the best premium earphones for use with iPhones and iPads, look no further than the Apple AirPods 4th generation. They fall within a $200 budget and come with noise cancellation options, a redesigned shape for a better fit, plus the new H2 chip for improved audio and call clarity. They also have USB-C charging.

If your loved one is a true audiophile, wireless earbuds like the Apple AirPods Pro 2nd generation offer greater noise isolation thanks to the sealed fit of the earbuds and a different audio experience. They have around six hours of listening time, extending to 30 hours when charged in the earbuds case.

5. Noise-Cancelling Headphones

Wireless over-ear headphones are the ultimate companion if your loved one enjoys getting lost in a YouTube wormhole or zoning out to their favorite songs on Apple Music. While Apple’s flagship AirPods Max will set you back around $500, there are plenty of premium audio brands that offer great value for money. 

6. Portable Power Bank

Power banks charge your iPhone, iPad, and other accessories on the go, providing extra juice when you need it most. Brands like Anker, Belkin, and UGREEN often appear on lists of best power banks as they provide high-quality, portable products at affordable prices.

If you’re buying for a loved one, ensure you choose a power bank that matches the connector of their devices, which is typically a USB-C or Lightning connector if it’s an Apple product. Most power banks in this price bracket have multiple USB-C and USB-A outlets, allowing you to connect devices with different cables.

7. Vouchers

When in doubt, you can’t go wrong with a voucher. 

If you’re struggling to find the right gift, an Apple Gift Card is an excellent option for anyone who enjoys selecting their own tech. They can be used at the Apple Store, or for Apple Music, iTunes, or Apple TV.

If you want to gift someone a ZUGU iPad case but are unsure which one to choose, don’t forget about our gift card options. They are redeemable on all cases and accessories across our website.

8. Ring Light for Video Calls:

Being "camera-ready" is a real thing in 2025. You can help your loved ones look their best in meetings or when filming content with a ring light.

Ring lights provide soft, flattering lighting that transforms the way you appear on screen. If you’re looking for a premium yet compact option for a desk setup, check out the video conferencing lights from Lume Cube.

It’s a simple upgrade that can enhance your appearance, even if you’re working in a dimly lit room.
