If you love Chromecast, the simple and affordable device that lets you stream anything to your TV, then you'll be excited to get your hands on the just-announced Chromecast Audio. The new, sleek device essentially turns any home speaker into a Bluetooth-enabled device. And it's only $35. Awesome.

Once again, Google is helping to keep our older devices relevant. Maybe you splurged on some high-end speakers or bought a portable set that became useless once you got a new phone. Well, now you can just plug in a Chromecast Audio into the audio port and be back in business. Other highlights: it's really easy to set up, will stream from your Chrome browser tabs or apps including Spotify, and has a sleek design of concentric grooves reminiscent of vinyl records. Also coming soon: multiroom streaming, so you can play the same music across any speakers that have the device. With such a great price, you don't even have to wait for Santa to bring you this hot new gadget.
