DroidApp helps you with some inspiration for your wish list with useful, fun and useful gifts. And that really doesn’t always have to cost the main prize. We have listed the best gift ideas for you.

Mcdodo USB cable

A USB cable is a USB cable, you might think. However, the Mcdodo USB cable actually adds something during charging. The cable shows during charging what the charging power is that is being delivered at that moment. This is shown on the display. This way you can immediately see whether your phone is charging with, for example, 15W or whether this is a lot faster with 65W. The Mcdodo USB cable can handle charging speeds of up to 100W and also supports PD and Quick Charge. The cable has a chip that guarantees safe charging.

You can buy the Mcdodo USB-C cable for 13.99 euros at Amazon. This is then 1.2 meters long.

Xiaomi tire pump

A product that may come in handy very often is the Xiaomi Mi Portable Electric Air Compressor 1S. Quite a mouthful, but what exactly can you do with it? It is a mobile compressor that you can easily take with you. Ideal for pumping things up. Think of inflating your car tires to the desired amount of bar immediately. If the device is empty, you can easily recharge it yourself at the socket or via a power bank. It is also possible to inflate your bicycle tires, which is very useful for your racing bike (or just your city bike, for example). It also works for your scooter or motorcycle and more, because you have the different settings for this.

You can purchase the Xiaomi compressor at Amazon, Bol.com, Aliexpress and MediaMarkt.

Google Nest Hub

A nice gift tip is the Google Nest Hub. You can do many things with this. It is a modern version of the Google Home (Mini), but with a screen. You can operate it via the touchscreen or via voice control. You have a direct overview of the agenda items, the weather and of course your smart devices such as your lighting, your smart doorbell or camera. This way you can immediately see on the screen who is at your door. It is also possible to analyze your sleeping behavior by putting it on your bedside table. The Nest Hub can also serve as a multimedia player for your music, for example. With TuneIn (or another app) you can easily start a radio station. The speaker is of good quality. If you don’t use the Nest Hub for a while, it will turn into a digital photo frame. A great product! Now extra affordable because of the Black Friday offers.

For sale at Bol.com, Coolblue, MediaMarkt and Tink.

SonosOne

Sonos products are known for their good sound quality. You don’t have to dig deep into your pockets for every product, because with the Sonos One SL you have an excellent speaker for your home. Streaming your music is child’s play. For about thirty euros more you have the ‘non-SL version’ which is equipped with a microphone, so that you can execute commands. The advantage of Sonos speakers is that you can connect the speaker to other Sonos speakers via the WiFi connection and enjoy your music throughout the house. During the Black Friday week, the speaker is a lot cheaper.

You can buy the Sonos One at Coolblue, Bol.com, MediaMarkt and Amazon.

Huawei Band 7

Don’t want to spend too much money on a new smartwatch? In our Huawei Band 7 review, we were already very pleased with this affordable watch of 50 euros. You can keep track of your movements and sports performance. In addition, you can keep track of your heart rate, stress level and other data on this watch. Of course, with the Huawei Band 7 you have the option to choose from different watch faces.

The Huawei Band 7 is for sale at Huawei, Bol.com, MediaMarkt, Belsimpel and Amazon.

Phillips Hue

It costs a bit, but you literally get a colorful house in return: Philips Hue. You can turn off the standard lighting. With Philips Hue you can adjust the colors in your home to your own liking. Great for a movie night. With the app you can set numerous styles and programs so that your home is lit in the best way. You can also use Philips Hue in combination with an Ambilight television, so that the entire room is lit correctly. If you don’t have Hue yet, it’s good to know that you also need a so-called ‘Bridge’ to control the lighting. It is advisable to start with a starter kit. The composition of this may differ per store.

You can go to Coolblue, Tink, Amazon, Bol.com and MediaMarkt for Philips Hue.

JBL

If you want to enjoy good music wherever you are, JBL has a number of nice portable (Bluetooth) speakers in its portfolio. For a small device with good sound quality, you can use the JBL Go 3. If you want a larger device, you can look at the Charge 5 or Flip 6, for example. They have a price around 100-150 euros and provide good sound quality. A matter of connecting the phone via Bluetooth and enjoy.

An overview of the speakers can be found at Coolblue, MediaMarkt, Bol.com and Amazon.

Chromecast

It remains a great gift tip: the Google Chromecast. Especially now that there is a new version, where you also get the Google TV interface. This gives you access to numerous apps that you can install on your television. The new models also have a remote control with the Google Assistant that allows you to operate this stick even faster. With a Chromecast you can quickly cast content from your phone to the television, without technical detours. Ideal. You have two choices; a variant with 1080p Full-HD support, or the version with 4K. They are temporarily one or two tenners cheaper with Black Friday.

The Chromecast is for sale at Bol.com, MediaMarkt, Amazon and Coolblue.
