The fun and useful Echo Dot 2nd generation is a voice-controlled speaker that Alexa uses to do tasks such as control smart home devices, play music, make calls, set timers and alarms, and much more. Amazon’s list price for the Echo Dot is normally listed for $39.99, but with the Black Friday sale it’s $19.99.

2. Fire HD 8 Tablet

Amazon’s popular tablet, the Fire HD 8 Tablet is definitely worth a glance. The device comes in black and includes an eight-inch high definition display and 16 GB of internal storage. The device normally lists for $79.99, but during the Black Friday promotion, it’s been marked down to $49.99

7. 43-Inch TCL 4K Roku TV

You can find fancy TVs at a cheaper price, and some of them may even be from TCL with Roku manufactured in, but this is the one you want, according to Wired. What’s also important is you can snag it for $320, and that’s $80 marked off the list price.

Here’s what the online technology magazine had to say about this find.

“The TCL 5 Series strikes a really good balance between beautiful picture quality and price. Since it has a Roku inside it, the interface and remote are easy to use and great for streaming out of the box.”

8. Echo Dot Kids Edition Bundle with Fire HD 10 Kids Edition

This Echo Dot designed with younger ears in mind is a good gift idea if you’re going to spend a little more money this year on the youngest members of your family.
