The Cheapest Digital Christmas Gifts to Give This Season

Digital items have become one of the biggest and most popular types of Christmas presents to give. There are many different types of digital items to give, and some items are cheap. However, cheap is from the perspective of the buyer, their taste, and budget. Here are a few digital items that are available for purchase for under $130. Consider these items as reasonable for most shoppers. These are also some of the top digital Christmas gifts to bring enjoyment to the recipient.

Digital cameras

The digital camera is something that many households own. Many are via a camera phone. However, many of the camera phones do not take photos that are of the same quality as a stand-alone digital camera. Buy.com is an online retailer that has several models available for $99. One of which is the Pentax Optio M50 - 8 Megapixel Camera with 8X Zoom. Another option is the Kodak EasyShare C713 - 7 Megapixel, 3x Optical Zoom. This camera is currently available for $78.99. Both of these are great deals for the price.

Apple iPod Shuffle

The iPod, which used to be a really expensive item to buy, has greatly decreased in price. This is because there are so many other variations of the iPod, including versions that show videos. The iPod Shuffle is a great idea for a cheap digital Christmas gift. Amazon.com has several different colors of the Shuffle for $48.72 and under in various colors, including Apple iPod shuffle 1 GB New Pink (2nd Generation). There are also 2 GB versions, such as Apple iPod shuffle 2 GB Silver (2nd Generation) for $66.49. Keep in mind that some retailers charge higher prices for certain colored iPods.

Digital picture frames

The old days of having to pull a wallet out to show off pictures of children and grandchildren are gone. The digital picture frame has been taken to a different level. Enter the digital photo keychain. Buy.com has a Coby Electronics DP-151 Digital Photo Keychain for $9.99 in silver (other colors are available, but are $13.72 from the same retailer. There is even a two pack of colored frames available to make the value even better.

Bluetooth Headsets

Though the Bluetooth headset is an item for which it is harder to purchase for someone else, because people have preferences, it is an item that has decreased in price. It is a great idea for people that one knows does a lot of talking on her or his wireless phone while driving. If there is a person that has not mentioned purchasing one, and permanently has the phone glued to her/his ear, then this just may be the gift for them. Nice ones are available at many retailers both online and locally for under $30.

GPS Device

Even GPS devices have come down in price. The least expensive one we could find is the Nextar P3 Automobile Navigator. It is currently selling on Buy.com for $79.99, and this is not a refurbished item. Although Nextar is not one of the better-known brands on the market, purchasers of the device give it good reviews. Other more well known versions include TOMTOM ONE XL Automobile Navigator available from the same retailer for $139.99 or the Garmin nuvi 200 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator for $129.83 from Amazon.com.

My vote for a Christmas gift recipient that would love a cheap digital Christmas gift is to go with the digital photo keychain. It is easy to load the images onto the device and it's something that you can be sure that people that have the capability to load the images will use. You can't beat $10 with a stick.
