Echo Dot smart speaker for $27.99
The Echo Dot Kids 5th generation (released in 2022) is hitting its lowest price yet at $27.99 (originally $59.99), according to price-checking tools. The kid's version comes with parental controls, has an owl design, and includes one year of Amazon Kids , a subscription for books, games, videos, and other educational content for kids. You can read more about the Echo Dot from PCMag's review here.
Kindle Scribe Bundle for $324
If your kids like to use pen and paper and enjoy reading as well, the Kindle Scribe might be a good addition to their school supplies. This Kindle Scribe Bundle comes with the 64GB (which usually costs $419.99), the Premium Pen, a leather cover, and an Amazon power adapter for $324 (originally $519.97). This is a good value bundle if you were considering getting the Scribe for your kid anyway.
Iniu chargers starting at $15.98
I've had an Iniu portable charger for a few years now, and it has saved my butt a couple of times from driving without Google Maps. It is a fast and reliable charger, and if your kid takes the bus back and forth to school, having a backup battery for their phone is always a good idea. According to Amazon, this Iniu Portable Charger 10000mAh power bank can charge most iPhones up to 78% in about an hour. Not bad for $17.99 (originally $29.99).
If your kid prefers a desk charger, the Iniu Wireless Charger also doubles as a prop for your phone. It is $15.98 (originally $26.98). It won't charge the phone as fast as the portable charger, but it is wireless.
HP printer for $59.99
The HP DeskJet 2755e is a budget HP printer that gets the job done. For $59.99 (originally $84.99), you're getting good value for your money with this printer. It can also make copies and scans, but it relies on a wifi connection and pushes you to get the HP+ ink subscription, which starts at $1.49 per month for certain features and to get better ink prices.
Sony headphones
When it comes to headphones, having a reliable pair with a long battery life is key. Sony made the WH-CH520 with those things in mind while keeping the price low, currently $35.99 (originally $79.99). The Sony WH-CH520 are on-ear headphones (the headphones rest on top of the ears) with a stylish design and 50 hours of playtime. They give you a multipoint connection so your kid can switch between their computer and cell phone quickly. (Only the cappuccino color has a 55% discount.)
The Echo Dot Kids 5th generation, with its parental controls and included Amazon Kids subscription, is a great addition to any family's back-to-school shopping, now available at a discounted price of $27.99. If your family is looking for a high-quality e-reader for school, the Kindle Scribe Bundle, which includes a premium pen and leather cover, is now discounted to $324.00.
