Hey friends!
I’m Tasia and this video features my top tech accessories under $50.

Come on, let’s get after it!
Full disclosure: I am not paid to promote any of these gadgets.
I use them and I love them and I want to share the love with you.
I will post Amazon Affiliate links below, so if you buy something using one of those

Alright enough babbling, let’s start with some smart home gadgets.
First up, is one of my favorite smart speakers and home assistants, the Echo Dot.
The Echo Dot is an affordable voice-controlled smart speaker that uses Alexa to do anything
from play your favorite tunes, to controlling smart home devices, to reading the news and
setting alarms.
The list goes on and on.
I also have to shout out Google Home Mini.
It’s the same price and does the same things, so it’s really your Operating system preference.
If you’re going to have a smart home assistant then you’re going to want a smart plug,
so you can control lights and accessories with your voice.
One of my favorite smart technology brands is Wemo.
The Wemo Mini Smart Plug uses your Wi-Fi network to enable wireless control of anything that’s
plugged into it.
Of course, the Wemo Mini smart plug works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, so
you can control your devices using an app or simply by asking your smart home assistant
to do the work for you.

Moving into smartphone accessories, let’s talk phone cases.
I’ve mentioned my love for Rokform before, but I’ll say it again.
Rokform makes my favorite case in the whole world.
Rokform makes cases for Apple’s entire lineup, and Samsung and Google devices too.
Not only does this case actually work to protect your device, it also comes with a built-in
magnet and another magnet you can stick to your car or bike or just about anywhere you
want to mount your phone.
Bonus: it also has a twist lock mounting system.
Up next, is something I use every single day and I have a bunch of different ones - a phone
stand.
One I really like is the Lamicall brand - they come in different colors, some are adjustable
and they’ve got a hole in the back to feed a charging cable through.
Moving on to computer accessories and sticking with stands, I strongly recommend a laptop
stand, so you’re not kinking your neck all day.
My favorite is the Belkin Aluminum Stand and Loft.
It’s got rubber grips so your laptop stays in place, it’s open design is optimized
for airflow, and it has a cable management ring so all your cables stay neatly organized.
Now I really think one of the best, most heavily used accessories you can have is a USB hub.
I’m not talking just any regular old hub though.
This Cateck one not only has 3 USB ports, but it’s got SD and microSD card readers.
It’s more often than not, I have multiple external hard drives in use, so this port
s key.
Speaking of external hard drives, there are some great 1TB options out there for under
$50,
I use a few brands like Seagate and Western Digital, and Western Digital has a great 1
terabyte My Passport External Hard Drive.
Now is a perfect time for a PSA: backup your computer on a regular basis!
So there are a ton of options when it comes to selecting a wireless mouse, but with prices
so cheap, there is no excuse.
For everyday use, this Logitech wireless mouse is where it’s at.
It’s light, has responsive scrolling, is available in over 20 different colors, and
it has a unifying receiver.
Which brings me to my very last and maybe most favorite accessory.
The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard.
The one I have is designed for Mac and - don’t be mad - is $52.
I know, I know, this is an under 50 list.
But I love it so much I have 2 of them.
Plus, if you’re a windows user, this same keyboard is available for under $42.
See?
It counts!
The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard is light powered, and yes it works great indoors.
Half the time I don’t even have my lights on.
It’s got feet so it can be raised up and down, and most importantly, since it works
off a unifying receiver like the mouse, you can connect all your Logitech accessories
via one receiver.
Now I want to hear from you.
