For Health Nuts: Fitbit Inspire 2
You’d be surprised how much more interested you are in keeping track of your health when you have a fitness tracker on your wrist. Fitbit’s Inspire 2 tracker can track your daily steps, calories burned, heart rate, and more. And it’s water-resistant up to 50 meters, so you can wear it in the pool if swimming is your exercise of choice.
It’ll even track your sleep to let you know how much time you spend in light, deep, and REM sleep; understanding more about your sleep patterns will help you improve your quality of sleep. You can expect it to last about 10 days in between charges.

For a Modern Aesthetic: Govee Smart LED Light Bars
Although the main reason you’d get Govee’s Light Bars is for the aesthetic, they do provide some quality light for the room. Plus, they’re smart, working with Alexa or Google Assistant voice commands and syncing up to your music.
There are 16 million different colors to make the light bars perfect for you (or you can choose from 12 preset modes if you’re lazy but still want something cool). There’s an intelligent camera inside that detects the colors on your TV screen (if that’s what you choose to connect the light bars to) and automatically matches them to the bars and syncs with the music.
If you want smart LED lights specifically for your TV, you might also consider Govee’s Immersion, which is equally easy to install and adds a neat, modern element to the room.

Inside, there’s 32GB of storage—plenty if you only plan to download a few of your favorite apps—though you can also opt to add up to 1TB of extra storage with a microSD card. On a full charge, you’ll get about 12 hours of use out of it, making it great for daily use; it’ll only take about five hours to fully charge it via a USB-C.

For the Reader: Amazon Kindle
Although nothing can truly replace the feeling of reading a physical book, there’s so much to love about the Amazon Kindle that makes it worth the buy. If you don’t have the space or the money to create the physical library of your dreams in your home, a Kindle is the perfect place to grow your library digitally. The upside is that you can bring a small Kindle on your vacation instead of two or three heavy books.
With a 167 ppi glare-free display, it’s as easy to read as actual paper, even in direct sunlight. Inside, there’s 8GB of storage, which may not sound like a lot but translates to over a thousand books. And the battery doesn’t just last a day; it lasts for about a week!
Amazon Kindle
Amazon’s Kindle is fantastic if you love to read, but you don’t have the space for books in your home or on vacation.
For Coffee Lovers: Ember Smart Mug
Anyone who takes a while to finish a hot drink in a timely manner before it gets cold (or worse, lukewarm) needs this Ember Smart Mug. This smart mug will keep your coffee or tea at the perfect temperature until you’re finished with it, so you can take your time sipping it throughout the morning without feeling pressured to finish it.
Right out of the box, the mug is set to keep your beverage at a nice 135°F. You can easily change the temperature via the Ember app (Android/iOS), and the mug will remember the last temperature it was set to the next time you turn it on. On a full charge, it’ll last for about one and a half hours. Or, you can set it down on the charging coaster to use it all day.

For Smart Homes: Google Nest Hub

Then, of course, you can use Google Assistant to help you carry out routines, set appointments and reminders, and answer random questions. If you have multiple Google Nest speakers throughout your home, you can create groups and play the same audio across multiple rooms.
If you use Amazon’s smart products in your home, try out the Echo Show 5 for a Google Nest Hub equivalent.

Plus, they’re sweat- and water-resistant (IPX4), so you can have a worry-free workout with these in.

Although your favorite TV shows and movies will sound better on your TV with the soundbar, you can hook up your phone via Bluetooth and stream your favorite songs on it, too. The Alto 6 is also super easy to set up, using either Bluetooth or a direct connection via HDMI, USB, AUX, or optical.

Any of these controllers can be used via Bluetooth with a PC as well, which makes certain games a lot easier to play (rather than using a mouse and keyboard).
For More Game Choices: Video Games Subscriptions
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the gaming subscription service that gets you the most bang for your buck right now.
A gaming subscription is the perfect buy if you’re constantly finding yourself at a loss for what game to play. For anyone who games on an Xbox or on their PC, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is a great value. You can play new games as they come out, as well as the awesome backlog of a ton of Xbox games.
Or, if you mainly play on a PlayStation, a PS Now subscription is definitely worth it for only $60 a year. Games rotate pretty consistently, giving you new games to play while leaving favorites on the service for quite a while. If you have a PS5, it’s certainly worth it to invest in a PS Plus subscription as well; this subscription gives PS5 players access to the PlayStation Classics Collection, which includes a ton of PS4 hits.
