Everyone has someone on their list who is incredibly hard to buy for, and it can be even worse if they are a tech guru with all of the expensive gadgets. Whether your difficult giftee is into smartphones or you’re looking for a fun accessory to gift along with a smartphone, check out these 5 cool smartphone gadgets this holiday season:

All Ur Bass Bluetooth Capsule Speaker – $30

Roughly the size of a tennis ball, this Bluetooth speaker has some pretty good sound for those bass beat songs and it’s portable! Also, it looks kind of cool, which is never a bad thing. It comes with an optional wire if your Bluetooth is acting up, and you can even play speakerphone calls over this baby, so that everyone can hear!

Wrapster Cord Organizer & Smartphone Stand – $2.99

If you are one of those people who constantly find your headphones in a triple knot of doom, then this cord organizer is a must have. This oddly-shaped piece of plastic not only allows you to throw your headphones in your pocket without a care, but doubles as a stand for your phone so you can watch YouTube videos hands-free. And, at $3, you really can’t go wrong. It comes in four colors: white, black, purple and blue.

Fuel Can Micro Portable Charger – $24.99

So, this tiny little fuel can is probably the most adorable phone charger ever. This tiny battery plugs into the charging port on your Android cell phone and will help give you a boost of power until you can get your phone to a plug in. It is rechargable, and has a keychain loop so you can keep it with you. Did I mention it’s adorable?

Bluetooth Handset Gloves – $39.99 – $59.99

Everyone has used the pinky and thumb gesture to mime calling someone. Now, with these gloves, you can actually use your glove in place of a handset. Using Bluetooth technology, these gloves sync with your phone and allow you to receive phone calls through a tiny speaker and microphone sewn in the pinky and thumb of the glove. So extend that hand and talk away! Are you going to look a little silly talking to your hand? Absolutely. But, that’s part of the charm. The gloves come in knit and leather (hence the price range) and while I doubt the sound quality is the greatest, the idea was way too fun to not pass along.

Motorola Keylink Phone and Key Finder – $24.99

For that forgetful person in your life, the Motorola Keylink is there to help keep track of things. As the name cleverly suggests, this little key fob links your phone and keys so you won’t ever leave one somewhere. You can make them both chirrup or ring and generally just keep track of these items. You could even put the keyfinder on a purse, bag, or anything you’re prone to lose. Not quite as fun as the other gifts, but definitely more useful.

Honorable Mention: Ditto – $29

While this little guy won’t actually be available for the holiday season (shipments are expected Q1 2015, which is somewhere between January and the end of March, although it looks like they’re a little bit behind schedule) Ditto is a crazy cool gadget designed for smartphone addicts or people tired of staring at that tiny screen all the time. This simple little device works through Bluetooth and the use of an app, allowing you to sync the device with your phone. Ditto it will vibrate whenever you receive an important text, call or email from specified contacts, alerting you discretely. This way you can stop worrying about missing a call and put away the cell phone to focus on the people around you. It’s small, discrete, affordable, and pretty ingenious. It’s definitely on my list this year.
