Sony PS4

There’s nothing better than unwrapping a new console, and the Sony PlayStation 4 is a great budget-friendly option for someone looking to swap from Xbox to PlayStation for the first time.

The PS4 is the predecessor of the latest Sony console, the PS5. Even though the PS4 isn’t the newest model, it’s still a fan-favourite console that many gamers swear by – especially those that don’t fancy paying premium prices.

Using a single-chip custom processor and offering 500GB and 1TB of storage, the PS4 makes a worthy addition to our list of tech gifts for Christmas and other occassions!

You’ll also note that the PS4 uses Dualshock 4 wireless controllers, the second newest range of Sony PlayStation controllers on the market made for the ultimate gaming experience.

What are you waiting for? Appease the gamer in your family with a refurbished PS4 on the musicMagpie Store!

Apple Macbook Air

Know someone in need of a new laptop? If they’re looking for something portable that will last for years, there’s no doubt the Apple MacBook Air is the go-to choice. Not only does Apple pride themselves on making the most modern and innovative tech, but their MacBook range offers multiple size options, with the smallest size sitting at just 13 inches.

With the MacBook Air, you’ll be able to edit and share photos and videos, create presentations, discover new apps, and enjoy music, books, movies, and more.

The MacBook Air is a slightly cheaper option when compared to Apple’s other MacBook models, but it still packs a mighty punch. With a slim, lightweight design and fast-running processor, you get great tech for what you pay!

Head to the musicMagpie Store to find refurbished MacBook Air models at amazingly low prices!

Microsoft Xbox One S

Know someone committed to the Xbox ecosystem? Whether it’s a family member, a friend or even yourself, the Xbox One S is a fantastic console and is included in our list of best tech gifts for Christmas and other occasions!

Since its release in 2016, the Xbox One S has remained a firm favourite for those that want a high-quality Xbox experience without a high price. The Xbox One S offers a vastly reduced physical footprint, 4K and HDR streaming/gaming, along with a slimmer, more compact look compared to both the Xbox One and Xbox X Series models.

As the Xbox One S is no longer the newest Xbox console, you’ll be able to buy it for a lot less than the Xbox X Series model. With the option of an all-digital console too, you can get the Xbox One S for a further reduced price, provided you don’t mind using digital-only games.

Apple Watch Series 6

Any Apple fan would love to unwrap an Apple Watch. If you have an Apple enthusiast in your family, why not give the gift of an Apple Watch this year?

The Apple Watch Series 6 is a fantastic gift choice, as it’s a fairly young model with lots of great features! It has the option of GPS only or GPS and cellular, with the former choice saving you an extra couple of pennies.

You’ll get a great range of health sensors and colour options, as well as an always-on display and a solid battery life. Plus, the Series 6 model comes with sleep tracking to help you get a better night’s sleep.

The only downside to the Apple Watch Series 6 is that it’s only compatible with iPhone models, which isn’t really an issue for Apple fans as they’ll likely own an iPhone.

Whether you want to work on your fitness, use your phone a little less or get a better sleep pattern, the Apple Watch Series 6 makes a great gift! Shop our refurbished Apple Watch devices to find the best deals around.

Beats Studio 3 Wireless

If you know someone who’s constantly listening to music, they’ll most likely enjoy it even more using Beats Studio 3 Wireless headphones! Beats are one of the coolest birthday and Christmas gadgets to give, as they’re such high quality and can be used and cherished by almost anyone.

The Beats Studio 3 Wireless headphones are over-ear headphones with a stylish and polished design. They have incredible noise cancellation and audio reproduction performance that automatically adapts to your environment for the best listening experience!

While these headphones were released in 2017, they’re still a well-loved gadget. Beats would make a great birthday or Christmas tech gift for anyone who loves listening to music at the gym, in the office, or on the go.

Head to the musicMagpie Store and look through our range of refurbished Beats Studio 3 headphones at amazingly low prices!
