We all know someone who's not into the usual beauty or fashion gifts that are popular during the holidays—and that's totally fine. Maybe they're more into tech (we also all know that one person we turn to for tech advice). This time, we're here to help you pick the perfect gift for the tech-savvy people in your life.
LIST: Gifts under P20,000 for the tech-obsessed people in your life
Apple Watch SE
Price: Starts at P12,990
When thinking of an Apple Watch, people immediately remember the top-of-the-line models, which usually cost around P27,000 up to P55,000. But, like with iPhones, Apple released a "budget" model for their watches that gives you the necessary everyday features for almost half the price. If you're looking for useful tech under P15k and your lifestyle doesn't require the need for more advanced specs, then the Apple Watch SE is surely the first on the list. Depending on the specs (such as the band/loop, size, and connectivity), the Apple Watch SE price ranges from P12,990 to almost P14,990.
You can get the Apple Watch SE at the Power Mac Center or any in-store authorized Apple sellers like Beyond The Box and The Loop among others. You can also check their websites, official LazMall and Shopee Mall pages, and the official Apple website.
Sony XM5 Headphones
Price: P20,999
This is for someone who wants to embrace their main character moment in 2025. The Sony XM5 has both the look and the specs that channel that energy. With its noise-cancelling features, it might be a gift so good, they won't hear you when you say, "You're welcome." It retails for P20,999 and you can get it at the official Sony Philippines website and other online retailers such as the official Sony Lazada and Shopee pages. You can also place it for pre-order at Digital Walker.
Sony Linkbuds X Olivia Rodrigo
Price: P12,999
Any Filipino Livie still reliving the magic of Olivia Rodrigo's GUTS World Tour or feeling the sting of the ticketing war would love the Sony LinkBuds X Olivia Rodrigo edition. Perfect for any fan—or audiophile—it comes in two styles: the Fit, ideal for active lifestyles, and the Open, designed for all-day comfort. This limited-edition collaboration features a sleek purple design inspired by Olivia’s aesthetic, making it a must-have for fans who want to enjoy not just her music but any playlist in style. Priced at P12,999, the earbuds can be paired with customizable silicone cases available in purple, black, blue, green, and pink for an additional cost.
Marshall Action III Bluetooth Speakers
Price: P18,990
We all know someone who hosts the best parties and intimate gatherings. To thank them for their hospitality, you can give them the sleek but powerful Marshall Action III Bluetooth Speakers. Not only is it a great speaker for playing house music in the background while people chitchat, but it's also a classic-looking piece that'll complement their interiors. It retails at P18,990 and you can get it from authorized sellers such as Digital Walker. You can also opt to buy it online at the official Lazada Mall page of Beyond The Box and the Marshall Authorized Store Shopee Mall.
Kindle
Price: P10,495
Since we already have (a ton of) options for the audiophiles, here's one for the bibliophiles. It's either they already have one and they want to upgrade or they have been saving up for it and it's been sitting in their carts for a while. Yup, it's the Amazon Kindle. It comes in different models, but the right in-between for someone who you're not sure already has one and is a Kindle newbie, the Paperwhite 5 is the one you can opt for. It comes in three colors: Agave Green, Black, and Demin, and starts at P10,495. Apart from ordering it on Amazon and waiting for it to get shipped directly to the Philippines, you can also try authorized resellers online like PixelPlay by DataBlitz on Shopee Mall and LazMall.
