When you think about it, stocking stuffers don’t really get the recognition they deserve. While most shoppers are laser-focused on the headliners that go under the tree, these palm-size gifts usually end up as afterthoughts. (Trust us, no one wants cracked candy canes and ill-fitting socks for the 10th year in a row.) If you’re still on the stocking stuffer gift hunt, this palm-size portable speaker is one of our favorite picks. It also helps that it’s waterproof, just $20 and arrives before Christmas!
Score extra points by playing their favorite holiday tune straight from their stocking on Christmas morn.
As far as portable speakers go, this one actually rings true to the category since it’s literally small enough to fit in your purse or even the palm of your hand. Where it truly shines, though, is in its sound performance. This little guy packs a punch thanks to its HD surround sound, which hits like a mid-sized boombox.
Speaking of portability, if you’re planning on taking this on the go, you want the battery to last. This Donerton speaker delivers, lasting up to 10 hours on a single charge. Other notable features include a waterproof rating (yep, it’s safe to use in the shower!), its deep bass and the easy-access instruction buttons located right at the top of the speaker. It also has a built-in mic and radio and supports dual stereo pairing. With all of these features, it’s a 10/10 gift for just about anyone, even if they already have a speaker or two.
Over 1,700 Amazon shoppers love this thing with several admitting that its powerful sound took them by surprise.

“Bought this for my daughter to use in her bathroom,” one fan wrote. “I can hear it on my side of the house, and it sounds great! She is thrilled with her gift.”
Some shoppers say it works perfectly as a radio: “This shower radio took me on a nostalgic trip to my youth when my siblings and I shared a bathroom with a boombox,” another reviewer wrote. “The memories of turning on the light and blasting music flooded back… It not only adds a retro touch to my showers but also turns into dance sessions.”
It attaches to most bathroom walls easily and doesn’t budge: “The suction is unbeatable!” wrote one shopper. “And the volume will go really loud.”
“I bought two of these for my daughter and [me] for Christmas,” one more fan said. “We had another brand, and the sound quality and battery life sucked. These were such a great improvement from what we had, and we are loving them!”

One shopper said that while the speaker itself is pretty great, the radio function could use some work: “It has FM radio, but there are no instructions as to how you can select a station,” the reviewer wrote. “The instruction guide only tells you how to scan through stations.”
