Looking to boost your tech without emptying your wallet? Amazon’s Big Spring Sale (March 25-31) presents a golden opportunity to snag useful gadgets and everyday essentials – all for under $50. Early deals are already appearing, so now is the time to find those unexpected products you didn’t know you needed. Whether you aim to improve home security on a budget or upgrade your entertainment setup, this sale offers something for everyone.
Video Doorbell Deals Under $50
The Blink Video Doorbell + Sync Module 2 is a solid, budget-friendly option for keeping an eye on your front door, letting you monitor who’s coming and going. Installation is simple, and you get a crisp 1080p video quality both day and night. “We also like the option to set it up in a wired or wireless configuration, as well as the ability to store recordings both locally and in the cloud,” noted our home security editor John R. Delaney in his review. It also works seamlessly with Alexa, letting you check feeds on Echo devices or set up routines. It isn’t the most feature-packed, and some perks require a subscription. However, with a significant discount, it is definitely worth considering.
Security Camera Deals Under $50
The TP-Link Tapo C120 is an outstanding value, available for under $30. This small camera offers impressive features for its price, including sharp 2K video, color night vision, and built-in spotlights that illuminate your yard when motion is detected. It’s weatherproof, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, and the setup is a breeze. Its smart motion detection differentiates between people, pets, and vehicles to minimize false alerts. Our expert pointed out in the TP-Link Tapo C120 review that the camera “is loaded with features usually only found on more expensive models.” This product earned an “Outstanding” rating and the Editors’ Choice award, showcasing its value.
Mouse Deals Under $50
The Logitech POP is a wireless mouse available in fun colors like “Heartbreaker Rose” and “Daydream Mint,” providing a more exciting alternative to the standard black or beige options (though those are available too). You can assign your favorite emoji to a shortcut button through its software, adding a personalized touch. It’s comfortable to use, lasts up to two years on a single battery, and allows easy device switching among three devices. Reviewer and analyst Zackery Cuevas says, “It’s a surprisingly versatile device that hops between multiple connections with ease and offers some light customization,” awarding it a “Good” rating in our Logitech POP Mouse review. Currently at $25, it offers a great value if you want a mouse with looks and function.
Streaming Device Deals Under $50
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is a terrific upgrade for older TVs if you want smooth, fast streaming without spending a fortune. It provides snappy performance, responds quickly to Alexa commands, and offers a wide range of apps, all priced at about $30. Wi-Fi 6 ensures more stable connections, especially in homes with many devices. Navigating and switching between apps is nearly instant. Our resident expert, Will Greenwald, said, “Everything I watched, from Prime Video to Crunchyroll to Twitch, played within seconds and looked crisp and vibrant.” Also receiving an “Outstanding” rating and the Editors’ Choice award in our Fire TV Stick 4K review, it’s an easy recommendation.
Tablet Deals Under $50
The new Amazon Fire 7 tablet has received its first-ever discount, now marked at only $45. While it isn’t the fastest tablet on the market, it is a considerable upgrade from the older models. Battery life represents a major improvement, lasting nearly 10 hours during our tests. In our review, our expert calls it “An affordable gateway device to Amazon’s content and services” and rated it “Good.” This tablet is a strong choice if you’re already invested in Amazon’s ecosystem or if you’re seeking an affordable tablet for casual use, perhaps for your children.
