Wired PR News.com – The recession has for many taken shopping on a budget this holiday season to a whole new level. Many have speculated that retailers are in for huge disappointments in sales due to a massive increase in a number of extreme penny pinchers expected to hit stores before Christmas. However, some electronics and techno-gadget providers are providing budget friendly gifts this season that those with tight wallets may still be able to afford.

As reported by the Associated Press, there are numerous tech-gifts that range anywhere from $8 to $100 or more available for retail sale before Christmas. These include a Sansa Slotmusic Player priced at $20, Flexible Mini Tripod available for $22, and a Roku Netflix player priced at $100. Gift givers can even give presents that are an outlet for creative expression, which anyone could appreciate, such as a Flickr Pro account for a year, which costs $25.
