Shopping for a teenager can be difficult: their tastes are hyper-specific and change daily. But the freebies below target the moving target of teen trends, focusing on useful, fun, and/or even (gasp) educational gear. Additionally, all items on the list are still on sale following Black Friday/Cyber ​​Monday.

From cool retro instant cameras to room-transforming LEDs to smart toys, here are 11 of the best tech gifts for teens in 2025.

Polaroid now 3rd generation

Perhaps it’s a teenage rebellion against our scrolling lifestyle or a quest for authenticity, but more and more kids are turning to old-fashioned cameras. The Polaroid Now 3rd Gen is a classic analog camera that lets you watch your photos develop in real time, has no megapixels, and ejects a physical object that is keepable, frameable, and non-scrollable.

Beats Solo 4 Headphones

For many kids, part of growing up is learning how awesome music can be. If your giftee is making this transition, there’s no better gift than some decent audio gear, like these Beats Solo 4 Bluetooth headphones. They sound great, with spatial audio and head tracking, and they come in five colors, so they look great, too. There’s a reason they have a 4.6 star rating on Amazon.

Flashforge 3D printer

Being able to 3D print objects at home still seems like science fiction to me, but not only is it possible, it’s not even that expensive. The Flashforge 3D Printer is just $239 this Cyber ​​Week. If you have a teenager with artistic, creative, or technical interests, this device is perfect.

JBL Clip 5

There’s a reason the JBL Clip 5 is such a hit with teens. This portable Bluetooth speaker comes in nine different models, it’s waterproof and virtually indestructible, and you can clip it onto anything. Plus, it sounds good.

Boldever Smart Mini Projector

This mini projector connects to Netflix, YouTube, and other services to stream 4K video to any wall or ceiling, so it’s a must-have for a teen who’s tired of watching things on their phone. It can connect via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and costs less than $100 during Cyber ​​Week.

Having a child who is interested in technology probably means lots of small, expensive gadgets (cameras, headphones, tablets, etc.) and they can all get lost. But not if you apply one of those Apple Airtags to them. This pack contains four for $74.98, an investment that will pay off with the first lost tablet found.

Charmast portable charger

If your teen is anything like mine, they have a million things to charge and no ability to keep track of the necessary cords, so if you give them one of these chargers/batteries, you’ll save your precious USB-C. This portable charger and its batteries have 6 outputs and 3 inputs, so you can charge 6 devices at the same time.

Moon Galaxy Lamp

Help them decorate their room with a galactically cool moon lamp. Powered by cool-touch LED bulbs, this lamp’s 16 colors swirl, fade, and smooth in a soothing way, and the hues can be adjusted to suit their mood.

Kaiess Selfie Ring Light

Self-obsession is a hallmark of adolescence, so deliver flattering selfies with this set of ring lights. It’s basically everything you need for an ad hoc social media studio: a stand with a phone holder, a ring light with adjustable brightness, and a trigger to activate recording. Kind of a steal at $25.64.

1000X Handheld Microscope

Technically this device is aimed at young children, but I can’t think of anyone, regardless of age, who wouldn’t love a 1000X magnification microscope with its own 4K display. It comes with prepared glass slides, but there’s nothing stopping you from magnifying whatever you want.

Ikarao karaoke machine

Karaoke machines have evolved a lot. This Ikaro machine is a party in a compact box. It comes with two microphones, works with YouTube (which basically gives you access to all karaoke recordings), and even has a great LED light show. Additionally, it also serves as a portable PA system.

Which stores have the best sales during Cyber ​​Week?

These days, big retailers and small businesses are competing to attract holiday shoppers, so you can expect virtually every store to have sales through December. The “best” sales depend on your needs, but in general, the biggest discounts tend to come from big retailers that can afford lower prices: think places like Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Home Depot. You can find all the best sales from major retailers on our live blog.

Are Cyber ​​Week Deals Worth It?

In short, yes. Cyber ​​Week sales always offer discounts that can be rare during the rest of the year. If you want to buy something or are shopping for gifts, now is a good time to look for discounts on what you need, especially technology sales, home improvement suppliesAnd fitness technology. Of course, if you need to save money, the best way to save is to not buy anything.

Are Cyber ​​Week deals better than Black Friday?

Black Friday was once reserved for big retailers and more expensive technology and appliances, while Cyber ​​Monday was for cheaper technology and gave small businesses a chance to compete online. But today, the distinction has almost no meaning. All major retailers will have sales on both days and throughout the following week, and the best solution is to know what you want, use price tracking tools, or refer to guides like our live blog who use price tracking tools for you and don’t worry about finding the perfect timing.
