The best categories under £100
Headphones with noise cancelling
Active noise cancelling (ANC) has become much more affordable, and it makes a real difference on trains, planes and in open-plan offices. Look at battery life, comfort for long wear, and whether the headphones fold away for travel.
Smartwatches and fitness watches
Around £100, you'll find watches with GPS, heart-rate tracking, sleep insights and multi-day battery life. If they're serious about running or cycling, built-in GPS means they can leave their phone at home.
E-readers
A dedicated e-reader is easier on the eyes than a tablet, lasts weeks on a charge, and is ideal for holidays. Check for a front light and waterproofing if they read in the bath or by the pool.
Gaming upgrades
Premium controllers, high-quality headsets and storage expansions all sit around this level. Our gaming gift guide explains how to match the platform.
Cameras and creator kit
Action cameras, instant cameras and entry-level drones can all fall around this budget. Check the CAA's current registration rules before anyone flies a drone.
Pre-owned tablets and phones
Choosing pre-owned can bring a tablet or a previous-generation phone within this budget. It's a great option for a first device or a second screen. Check the condition stated on each listing.
How to choose a gift under £100
Prioritise the feature they'll use most
At this price, you'll often trade one feature for another. A runner needs GPS more than a large display. A commuter needs noise cancelling more than studio-grade sound. Work out the one thing that matters most to them and make sure the gift does it well.
Check the ecosystem
Smartwatches, earbuds and e-readers often work best within their own ecosystem. Apple Watch needs an iPhone. Some e-readers are tied to a particular bookstore. Make sure the gift fits the devices and services they already use. Apple fans should read our Apple gift ideas guide.
Think about longevity
A higher budget is a good opportunity to buy something that will last. Battery life, build quality and software updates all count. Products include a 12-month warranty unless the listing states otherwise. See our Warranty page.
