Choosing things for a teenager can be challenging—their tastes are very specific and change daily. But the gifts below reflect evolving teen trends, focusing on things that are useful, fun, and/or even (gasp!) educational. Plus, all the items on the list are still discounted after Black Friday/Cyber Monday.
From retro instant cameras to room-transforming LED lights and smart toys, here are the 11 best tech gifts for teens in 2025.
Polaroid Now 3rd generation
Perhaps it’s a teenage rebellion against our scrolling lifestyle or a desire for authenticity, but more and more kids are fascinated with old-fashioned cameras. The third-generation Polaroid Now is a classic analog device that lets you watch your photos develop in real time, lacks megapixels, and produces a physical object that can be saved, cropped, and stored without scrolling.
Beats Solo 4 headphones
For many kids, part of growing up is realizing how amazing music can be. If your child is going through this transition, there’s no better gift than quality audio equipment, like these Beats Solo 4 Bluetooth headphones. They sound great, support spatial audio and head tracking, come in five colors, and, of course, look great. It’s no wonder they have a 4.6-star rating on Amazon .
Flashforge 3D printer
The ability to 3D print objects at home still seems like science fiction to me, but it’s not only possible, it’s also not that expensive. The Flashforge 3D printer is only $239 during Cyber Week. If you have a teenager with artistic, creative, or technical interests, this device is perfect.
JBL Clip 5
It’s no wonder the JBL Clip 5 is so popular among teenagers. This portable Bluetooth speaker is available in nine different designs, is waterproof, virtually indestructible, and can be mounted anywhere. Plus, it sounds great.
Boldever Smart Mini Projector
This mini projector connects to Netflix, YouTube, and other services, allowing you to stream 4K video to any wall or ceiling. It’s a must-have for any teenager tired of watching videos on their phone. It connects via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and costs under $100 during Cyber Week.
Apple Airtags
If your child is into technology, they’ll likely have a lot of expensive gadgets—cameras, headphones, tablets, and so on—and they’re all prone to getting lost. But don’t put one of those Apple Airtags on them. This four-pack costs $74.98—an investment that will pay for itself the first time you find a lost tablet.
Charmast Portable Charger
If your teenager is anything like mine, they have a million devices that need charging and can’t keep track of all the necessary cords. So, by gifting them one of these rechargeable chargers, you’ll save your precious USB-C ports. This portable rechargeable charger has 6 outputs and 3 inputs, so you can charge 6 devices simultaneously.
Galaxy Moon Lamp
Help them decorate their room with this truly galactic, cool moon lamp . Powered by cool LED bulbs, this lamp’s 16 colors smoothly shift, fade, and soothe, creating a calming atmosphere. The shades can be adjusted to suit your mood.
Kaiess Selfie Ring Light
Self-obsession is a hallmark of adolescence, so give yourself some killer selfies with this ring light set . It has everything you need for a makeshift photo studio for social media: a stand with a phone holder, a dimmable ring light, and a record button. A real find—only $25.64.
Handheld microscope 1000X
Technically, this device is designed for younger children, but I can’t imagine anyone of any age who wouldn’t be thrilled with a microscope with 1000x magnification and its own 4K screen. It comes with pre-made slides, but there’s nothing stopping you from magnifying anything you want.
Ikarao karaoke machine
Karaoke systems have come a long way. This Ikaro is a true party machine in a compact package. It features two microphones, works with YouTube (essentially giving you access to all your karaoke recordings), and even features a cool LED show. It can also be used as a portable PA system.
Which stores have the biggest discounts during Cyber Week?
With both major retailers and small businesses competing for shoppers during the holiday season, you can expect sales at virtually every store until December. The “best” discounts depend on your needs, but typically, the biggest discounts are offered by large retailers that can afford lower prices, such as Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Home Depot. You can find all the best deals from major retailers on our blog .
Are CyberWeek’s offers worth it?
In short, yes. Cyber Week sales still offer discounts rarely seen during the rest of the year. If you’re shopping or looking for gifts, now is the time to look for deals on essentials, especially tech , home goods , and fitness equipment . Of course, if you need to save money, the best way to save is to buy nothing.
Are CyberWeek deals better than Black Friday?
Black Friday used to favor large retailers and higher-end appliances, while Cyber Monday favored cheaper appliances and gave small businesses a chance to compete online. However, today, this distinction has become virtually meaningless. Every major retailer runs sales on both days and throughout the following week, so it’s best to know what you want, use price trackers or a guide like our blog , which uses price trackers, and not worry about finding the perfect time.
