If you postpone shopping or just want to pick a beautiful gift at the last minute for someone who has an Android phone or loves Google products, we can meet your needs. Here are some of the best gifts you can get for Android users. These gifts can be shipped quickly or purchased locally for less than $100.

There are good reasons why true wireless earbuds have taken the world by storm-they are very useful! Although Google's Pixel Buds A series do not have any other leading advantages other than smart, they are a very comprehensive choice and are suitable for almost any Android user.

The Pixel Buds A series utilize Google's quick pairing function to achieve quick pairing and better integration with almost all modern Android smartphones. The earbuds themselves can run for about 5 hours on a single charge, and the attached case can run for up to 24 hours, and can be charged via USB-C. The earbuds can also be found through the "Find My Device" app on Android.

As far as its audio function is concerned, Google uses custom drivers to provide better sound quality than most products at the same price, and the special design allows sound from the outside world to pass through, so you will not be completely isolated from these products. Very suitable for walking in the city. Google Assistant is integrated and ready for the "Hey Google" command, and notifications can be sent to the earbuds and can be quickly responded to. The Pixel Buds A series can also easily adapt to your surroundings and adjust the volume to match, as well as respond to the sound of a baby crying or the sound of an emergency alarm.

The Pixel Buds A series is a great gift for Android users. It costs $100 and is a good choice. The Google Store will offer the Pixel Buds A series during Christmas, and use the coupon code 2DAYHOLIDAY at checkout for two days of free shipping. Or, you can pick up your products locally from Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and other retailers.

Or, the pair of earplugs we recently had the opportunity to use is a great alternative to ColorBuds 2, and they are alternatives to the Pixel Buds A series. The sound quality of this $80 earplug is similar to Google's bud, and it adds active noise reduction, Qi wireless charging, and more.

They lack many of the smart features that make the Pixel Buds A series so great, but if you want to take advantage of Amazon’s shipping speed to receive gifts for people using Android in time, they are a good holiday choice (as a bonus, they can also be on the iPhone Work).

Smart speakers have countless utilities, which makes them very useful for everything from controlling smart home products to setting timers in the kitchen. Also, in most cases, it doesn't hurt to have more than one, which makes them a great gift. What makes Nest Mini and Hub very suitable for Android users is the Google Assistant integration, which means their new smart gift can pass information from the speaker to the phone, and vice versa, among other integrations. For example, "Hey Google, what about my phone" on the smart speaker will start ringing on your phone.

Google's Nest Mini is in the field of impulse buying, with a price of US$50, usually less than US$30 when discounted. It offers all the common features you get from Google Assistant speakers, as well as stunning sound quality given its size and price. You can buy it from the Google Store (use coupon code 2DAYHOLIDAY for two days of free shipping) and most local retailers that sell electronic products. Recently, its price is as low as $25.

Or, Google’s Nest Hub provides the same functionality or even more. The smart display can play videos, display your photos from Google Photos, and even track your sleep as needed, and it costs less than $100. In fact, it sells for as low as $60 before and after the holidays.

Or, Lenovo Smart Clock 2 costs less than US$100 and offers a Google Assistant experience tailored to the bedroom. In addition to the frequently used commands and functions of the speaker, Smart Clock 2 also has functions such as shortcuts for setting alarms, tapping on the device to pause the alarms and so on. It also bundles a special base for wireless charging and an additional USB port to charge accessories at night.

A streaming device is an easy gift, and with all the shuffles that transfer countless shows and movies to the new service, Google TV may be one of the best ways to handle content. As we detailed in our review last year, Google TV can easily show you which services include which shows or movies, and this support has continued to increase over time.

Although you can find Google TV on some TVs, the best way is to buy Google’s affordable Chromecast. At $50-currently down to $40-streaming media is a bit limited in terms of storage, but it works very well for streaming from a few apps and playing games on Stadia. Because it is also based on the Android TV operating system, it is a good gift for those who have an Android phone, because it has a phone-based remote option and syncs with various Android apps. You can even play some games you bought for your phone on Android TV!

Chromecast with Google TV is available on the Google Store. If you use the coupon code 2DAYHOLIDAY at checkout, it can be shipped within two days, but you can also buy it from almost all major local retailers.

On the other hand, if you want something more affordable, Walmart's Android TV streaming device is a good choice. Although they use the older Android TV interface, these devices can use the same applications and services as Chromecast at less than half the cost.

Wal-Mart currently sells its 4K Android TV box for US$20 and its 1080p streaming media stick for only US$15. They are very cheap, but very good. The retailer stated that orders placed before December 20th will arrive before the 25th, and you are likely to find local inventory on these devices.

Wireless charging has become the standard configuration of almost all flagship phones today, and my personal favorite comes from Nomad. The base station bracket fixes your phone at a nearly vertical angle and charges it with 10W power. The box also includes an 18W charger and a high-quality USB-C cable.

What are the benefits of buying such an expensive charger? It really boils down to quality. The metal and leather structure designed by Nomad is very gorgeous and may last for several years. So it is expensive, but it is a thoughtful, beautiful and practical gift for less than $100.

Currently, the Base Station Stand is only available on Nomad's official website. Orders placed before December 17 should arrive on time during the holidays.

If you are not using a $100 wireless charger, trust me, I understand. There are countless other affordable wireless chargers that can do the job without any special decorations. This Anker charger is only $16 (usually discounted to $10) and offers the same 10W speed as the Nomad charger.

However, it does not include charging bricks, so I recommend using the same brand of 30W bricks. Anker Nano II is my personal favorite 33W USB-C PD, which can quickly charge almost any modern Android phone. PowerPort Slim III provides 30W speed in different forms, and the price is about US$20. Any kind of charging brick can provide enough power to use a wireless charger to charge wired or wireless mobile phones.

In this day and age, a little extra security will not be harmed, and an easy way to increase security is to install a home security camera. Google’s Nest Cam now starts at less than $100, provides basic functions without a subscription (although we strongly recommend you to buy it), and can monitor your home well. It may still need some software updates to catch up with the old model, but if you are just starting the home safety setup, it will meet your needs well.

The Nest Cam is shipped from the Google Store. Use the code 2DAYHOLIDAY at checkout to ship within two days. It can also be purchased from major local retailers. It is now even sold for $80 in most places.

Or, there are some ultra-cheap home security cameras that work well with Google’s ecosystem. The TP-Link Kasa Pan that we introduced in the last issue of Google Home Essentials provides local SD storage and a motor that can turn the camera to view the entire room at a cost of only $30-40.
