5 cool gadgets you can buy under Tk. 2000

Sending gifts to your loved ones can often be an excellent way to show them how much you care. With Eid coming soon, you might find the need to give gifts to your friends and families, but if you are on a tight budget, doing so might be easier said than done. However, it is important to keep in mind that the price of a gift isn't what matters most - it's the thought that counts. As such, here are some cool gadgets under the Tk. 2,000 price tag that you can gift your loved ones. 

LED keyring

LED keyring

Price: Tk. 500 - 700

A keyring is something anyone needs - especially those who have to lock their houses and/or commute every day. Sometimes, it can be frustrating to unlock doors in the dark, and of course, keyrings always run the risk of suddenly getting lost. To avoid these pesky problems, consider giving your loved ones a LED keychain. These LED keychains are made of aluminium alloy, making them durable despite their minute size, and come equipped with a bright LED light that can switch between different modes with differing degrees of brightness. The buckle design allows it to be portable, which means you can hang it on backpacks and belts as well. 

Mini camera for kids

Price: Tk. 1,200 - 1,500

Sometimes, it can be frustrating to find the right gift for a kid. Some parents don't like toys, and clothes require specific sizes and fittings. An alternate route you could go for is to give gifts that inspire creativity and provide a fun pastime to a child. Such an option can be a mini camera for both photos and videos, which are easy to use and usually come with at least 32 GB of memory card support and 720p picture quality. If you want to transfer the photos, you can do so as well with these cameras' USB 2.0 PC interface. With a 2-inch liquid crystal screen, 400 mAh battery and about 2 hours of charging time for most of these regular kid camera models, you can ensure your recipient will have the time of their lives with this gift.

Mini printer

Price: Around Tk. 1,700

Continuing fun gift ideas for kids are mini printers with easy-to-use Bluetooth support. Typical mini printers of these varieties produce prints using thermal technology, thus not requiring ink or toner cartridges but still producing crisp and clear graphics. Other features of these mini printers include 200 DPI printing, 90 mm per second print speed, 1000 mAH battery and USB and Android interface support. These printers normally use 57x30 mm pages, which you would need to buy separately for replacement. Do keep in mind that these printers will only produce black and white prints. Nonetheless, they can be a great pastime for art projects, print tickets and receipts or make stickers for a variety of purposes. 

Microwave-erasable notebook

Microwave-erasable notebook

Price: Around Tk. 1,600

While smart tablets can be a great gift for loved ones if you have the budget to spare, giving a digital tablet in the form of an erasable notebook might be a good, more affordable alternative. Measuring around 17 cm in width and 25 cm in length, these handy notebooks have an interesting feature. When you microwave the book, anything you have written on it will be wiped off. You can do the same with a hair drier or a damp cloth or wet tissue as well. The notebook can be written using a specialised touch pen, and you can also use dedicated apps to scan and store the notes you have written on your Android and iOS devices. The digital notebook also supports Google Drive, OneDrive and DropBox, so if you need to take notes on the go, this is a handy companion. 

LED mask

LED face mask

Price: Tk. 1,200 - 1,600

Ever since the pandemic, customised masks have become a popular gift for cheaper budget options. One fun option in this category can be LED face masks, which come with lightweight USB rechargeable batteries that light up a LED matrix panel installed into the mask. These lights last up to 8 to 10 hours in one go, and can definitely turn heads during a party or a concert. LED masks of these types are usually app-controlled, which means you would need to download an external app with which you can not only turn on and off the lights, but also change the pattern and adjust them to specific texts to your liking. Despite having lights and batteries installed into it, the mask is still safe and easy to use and will serve the typical protection purpose of any face mask.
