Check out Black Friday deals for every bestie in your life
STORIES
We made you a holiday gift game plan, so you can get back to shopping for yourself.
For your Slack soulmate:
Go 4
Office bestie gifts are tricky. You see each other every day, and you can finish each other’s sentences … at work. You’re close but not tickets to see Taylor close. So how do you spend a not-weird amount and still show you couldn’t do Mondays without them?
We recommend the Go 4. It delivers serious musical punch for its size—and it’s sub $50. It’s got fun features, like multiple-speaker pairing with Auracast™, and up to seven hours of playtime on a single charge. They’ll also appreciate that it’s waterproof and dustproof, so it can go anywhere they take it. Perhaps a beach day whenever you both make it friend-friend official?
For your friend that loses everything: Clip 5
We all have that one person in our life who can’t keep track of anything in theirs. You’re almost too nervous to get them a gift because there’s a good chance they’ll lose it.
The Clip 5 is your go-to here. It has all the quintessential JBL portable speaker features—delightfully long playtime, crystal-clear sound, everywhere durability. Then it’s got an integrated carabiner that’s big enough to clip to just about anything—backpacks, belt loops, suitcases. So when they lose their passport, at least they’ll have their playlists.
For your grandparents (hear us out!): Flip 7
You know how you somehow end up as the designated sound squire for every family barbecue your grandparents host?
That ends today. Instead of slippers, get them the Flip 7. It’s got AI Sound Boost, our exclusive tech that analyzes your music and adjusts the acoustics in real time to reduce distortion—even at max volumes. So you can fill more space, like cookouts and graduation parties, without sacrificing quality. And you can focus on your plate instead of audio patrol.
If you want bonus points, add a personalized touch with the JBLxME tool. Just hit the “Design your own” button, upload a family photo or a solo pic (you’re their favorite anyway, right?), and we’ll print it right onto the speaker. Boom. Two gifts in one.
For your day one who always plans ahead: Charge 6
You don’t even have to ask. They automatically have your back with an extra lip balm. Or they get the train tickets beforehand because you have to work late.
This Charge 6 pick goes out to them. It’s refreshingly practical and always down, just like they are. They’ll know exactly why you got it for them the second they see the built-in powerbank that lets them charge their (or your) mobile device while you jam out.
For your partner, who is also the moment: Partybox 520
The great thing about relationships is that you can combine your superpowers for good. It’s okay if you’re a spreadsheet enthusiast because they were born to entertain.
That’s why using your budgeting skills to get them this Partybox 520 is the only real option. The party is already everywhere they are. This speaker just makes it official. It’s got a telescopic handle, nice, rolly wheels for a smooth ride, and two XLR inputs, so they can connect to a mic, a guitar—even a DJ console.
Let’s be honest. It’s just as much a gift for you as it is for them.
