The microfiber pad mentioned above is handy for removing smudges from the screen of a laptop, a tablet, a smartphone, or any other gadget. On the other hand, the brush makes cleaning a keyboard fast and effortless.

Completing the personalized sound setup will allow you or the giftee to discover your favorite music in a whole new dimension.

The Coway Airmega 100 is one of today’s best budget-friendly HEPA air purifiers and a great option for small spaces. It has an elegant and minimalist design and a sophisticated air-filtration setup with a real-time air quality indicator, all at an agreeable price.
Available in blue or white, the Airmega 100 has a compact footprint and intuitive controls. Another bit we like about the device is its silent operation. Most of the time, you won't notice there's such an appliance in the room.
5. Beats Studio Buds + Wireless Earbuds
The Beats Studio Buds + true wireless earbuds are our new favorite in this crowded product category, thanks to their timelessly cool design, comfy fit with clicky button controls, great sound quality, strong noise cancellation, and long battery life, all at a reasonable price. The Buds + are also equally easy to link with Apple or Android devices and, therefore, super giftable.
The earphones’ 9-hour battery life is longer than their predecessor , which is another reason to upgrade. You can order the Studio Buds + in black, ivory, and transparent finishes.
6. Klipsch The One Plus Bluetooth Speaker
The Soundcore Motion X600 Bluetooth speaker is one of the best in its product category. Its multi-driver audio setup delivers a sonic experience that's nothing short of excellent.

The Soundcore AeroFit 2 open-ear earphones are the best new arrival worth your attention. Available in several colors, the product has a sleek and durable design, comfy fit, top-tier sound that’s customizable via an app, and up to 10 hours of battery life, all at a great price.

Impressively, they can reliably block ambient noise without the need for active noise cancellation. Of course, their excellent companion app offers a wide selection of ambient sounds to help you fall asleep.
The lightweight buds have a clever design that's suitable for side sleepers. Their battery can deliver up to 14 hours worth of ambient sounds on a charge — enough for a good night's rest.
12. Pelican Pelican Marine AirTag Holder
The Marine Holder by Pelican is the most rugged and dependable AirTag accessory worth your attention. The accessory has a shock-resistant exterior with Dupont Kevlar — an impossibly lightweight and tough material — used in its making. It’s also water- and dustproof with an IP68 rating, guaranteeing that your tracker will become practically impervious to damage.
We like that the fully sealed Pelican case is as discreet as it is tough. The product is compatible with keychains, and it comes bundled with a carabiner for attaching it to items.
13. Beats Solo 4 Wireless Headphones
The Beats Solo 4 wireless on-ear headphones are a follow-up to a legendary product that's been on the shelves for almost a decade. The new iteration brings welcome sound improvements, headlined by support for immersive spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, as well as longer battery life (up to 50 hours).

16. Satechi 2-in-1 Foldable Qi2 Wireless Charging Stand
This freshly launched 2-in-1 MagSafe charging stand by Satechi became an instant favorite of ours for its design, versatility, and fast charging speeds. Featuring an exterior made from aluminum and vegan leather, the accessory is a perfect match for any Apple setup. Its iPhone dock has adjustable viewing angles, while its base has a slot for charging AirPods or other compatible earbuds.
The charging stand supports the latest Qi2 wireless charging standard, so it's fast and futureproof. We love that it folds completely flat for easy storage. A slightly pricier version with a retractable Apple Watch dock is also available.
17. Rokform Twist Lock Sport MagSafe Grip
The Rokform Twist Lock Sport is one of the best MagSafe grips and a must-have for iPhone owners who are constantly glued to their phones. The nifty accessory has a sleek and sturdy metal build made of aluminum and stainless steel. Its magnet is the strongest in its class, ensuring the grip will consistently stay in place.
The accessory’s ring can rotate 360 degrees, ensuring a perfect grip and viewing angle when used as a kickstand. Rokform backs the product with a two-year warranty.

Crafted from aluminum and vegan leather, the sleek accessory includes a MagSafe charger (great for iPhone and AirPods charging) and an Apple Watch dock that can juice up the timepiece flat or in nightstand mode. When not in use, the Butterfly folds into a metal puck that's easy to stash anywhere — from a bag to a jacket or jeans pocket.
I tip my hat to Twelve South for including a travel adapter with swappable AC plugs with the Butterfly. The bundled accessories are handy for international travelers.
19. Anker AnkerMake M5 3D Printer
The AnkerMake M5 is our top 3D printer recommendation for most consumers because it can crank out complex objects at best-in-class speed, including elaborate ones that use multiple filament materials. The splurgeworthy product is also elegant and easy to operate via a touchscreen and a companion app.
Other noteworthy features of the AnkerMake M5 include a built-in camera for keeping an eye on the progress of your prints and a die-cast aluminum structure that’s sleek and sturdy in equal measure.
20. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds
The Nothing Ear (a) true wireless earbuds are the best AirPods Pro alternative with a two-digit price tag, offering elegant design, durable build, impeccable ergonomics, great sound, and reliable noise cancellation. When linked to an Android phone, the Nothing Ear (a) can stream lossless audio from Apple Music and Tidal, among other services.
Featuring transparent stems with contrasting black, white, or yellow color accents, the earphones also look like they belong in a higher price tier. The same goes for their 10-hour maximum battery life. Their charging case is just as characterful.
21. Native Union Active Magnetic Band for Apple Watch
This reasonably priced Apple Watch band by Native Union is an exciting new addition to a super crowded product category. The dual-color accessory sets itself apart by offering a reversible design to go with a magnetic attachment setup. The latter is vastly more convenient than dealing with a pin or a buckle.
The lightweight strap is manufactured from durable silicone. It's water-resistant and ready for workouts or outdoor adventures. You can order it in several colors for all Apple Watch sizes.
22. Keychron K3 Max Low-Profile Wireless Mechanical Keyboard
The Keychron K3 Max is a compact and reasonably priced wireless (or wired USB-C) keyboard that should be on your radar if you’re shopping for an upgrade. It has a minimalist design and a low profile, mechanical keys with exceptional tactility, and onboard illumination. You can choose between two types of keys, ranging from quiet to clicky.
The accessory is compatible with PCs and Macs. Switching between the platforms happens via a dedicated switch, and the retail package includes a swappable Windows and Command key. It can last for days between battery charges.
23. JBL Tune 310C Wired USB-C Earbuds
JBL’s Tune 310C wired earbuds present an incredibly rare combination of great sound with a trio of easy-to-access modes, a versatile USB-C connector that works with the latest iPhones and any Android, and flawless brand credentials, all at an unbelievably low price. The buds’ onboard remote has clicky buttons that are super easy to operate on the go.
I’d take the JBL Tune 310C over the Apple EarPods and any other rival in their price category (and beyond). You can grab a set in black or white.
24. Petcube Bites 2 Pet Camera with Treat Dispenser
This is by far the coolest gadget out there for pet owners. The sleek Petcube Bites 2 camera allows you to keep an eye on your pet while you're not home through Wi-Fi connectivity and can even deploy a treat for them right from your smartphone.
Other key features of the Petcube Bites 2 include two-way audio connectivity, compatibility with Amazon Alexa voice commands, as well as the ability to send sound and motion alerts. We also like that there's an option to use the product to connect to a veterinarian.
25. HOTO Flashlight Lite
This compact flashlight became an instant favorite of ours by offering an elegant aluminum build, incredible versatility, excellent battery life, and a USB-C connector for recharging it. Thanks to a bundled light diffuser, the handy gadget can quickly transform from a high-powered flashlight with stellar zoom capabilities to a lamp to use while camping or on the road.
We like the flashlight’s integrated hook for attaching it to items. Its intuitive button controls include an SOS button for use during emergencies.
