(BPT) - You know those people who have their holiday shopping done before Thanksgiving? They have a secret tactic: A theme. One year, they get everyone cozy gifts like pajamas, slippers, soft throws, candles. The next it's kitchen stuff. This year, one of the hottest trends in holiday giving is technology, and the gizmos and gadgets on the market right now are fun, highly useful and surprisingly affordable. Why not take a page from those efficient holiday shoppers and find something tech-tastic for everyone on your list?

Here are five hot ideas for trendy tech gifts that won't break the bank.

The ultimate holiday bundle

Metro by T-Mobile is offering holiday bundles this year, and it doesn't get any easier than this to surprise your family and friends with affordable high-tech gifts. Bring your phone number to Metro and get the Samsung Galaxy A35 5G and Samsung Galaxy Watch FE 40mm for only $99.99 when signing up for Metro Flex Plus and adding a smartwatch line. And, you can also score a Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 5G for $49.99 when adding a tablet line at Metro by T-Mobile.

That's a phone, a smart watch and tablet, all in one place! Boom, shopping for your spouse or kids is done.

Tech accessory organizer

Working from anywhere is how we're doing it these days, but it's so easy to forget the cords, chargers and other accessories that make it possible. The Essential Tech Folio by Marks and Graham solves this frustrating problem beautifully. This sleek, leather organizer has room for your new Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 5G, a notebook, all of your cords and chargers, plus credit cards and keys. Pack it up and go!

Rate plans that keep on giving

What's better than giving the gift of an upgrade to your loved one's smartphone plan? At Metro, Metro Flex Plus customers get the best benefits in prepaid including an Amazon Prime membership (valued at $14.99/month) with fast, free delivery, nonstop streaming and exclusive member savings. Customers also get one-of-a-kind deals and freebies every week with T-Mobile Tuesdays, like discounts on Shell gas and $5 movie tickets; a free season-long subscription to MLB.TV and Scam Shield to identify and block spam and scam calls. And this is all on top of unlimited talk, text and 5G data on the nation's fastest prepaid network.

Photo prints on the go

Does your teen have thousands of photos on their phone but zero prints of those photos? How about you? The Canon Ivy 2 Mini Photo Printer is a handy, fun way to instantly print your selfies and dog photos directly from your new Galaxy smartphone. It uses no ink - huh? - but instead has colorful dye-based crystals embedded inside the paper. The photos come with a peel-and-stick backing, so you can place them anywhere. This is a perfect party accessory!

Turn the TV into a work of art

With all of the money you'll save with these affordable gifts, treat yourself to the Samsung Frame, which turns your blank TV screen into a work of art. Instead of just a black screen when you're not watching it, the Frame cycles artwork masterpieces or your own photos. Look for sales on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Technology gifts and gadgets are a fun, affordable way to surprise and delight your loved ones this holiday season, and get your shopping done quickly so you can relax and actually enjoy the festivities.
