Google Chromecast | $20 | Amazon
Even though every new TV in the last several years has a smart interface built-in, these can be great as a quick, inexpensive way to upgrade an older model. Maybe you have a small bedroom TV or one in a spare room somewhere. That’s where the Chromecast shines. My parents for example have a 60" Sony TV from probably 2012. Their thought process is “we don’t need a bigger one, so what’s the point of replacing it?” not realizing the array of spec improvements we’ve seen in 10 years. They can’t even get Netflix on it. This $20 solution was the perfect gift.
