Here's our list of picks along with their starting price and why we think they're worth buying this year.
The big picture: These tech toys and tools make great gifts for lots of people on your list and maybe also for you.
Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses ($299): We've been big fans of these since the first version came out just for taking first-person photos and videos of kids and pets. The latest go-around improves the camera and speakers while adding a built-in AI assistant.
Oura Ring 4 ($349): This slim band offers a way to track your sleep without having to take a watch to bed, with some other health and fitness features as well.
Apple AirPods ($129): The basic set will suit many people just fine, especially with the latest upgrades, though there is now a pair with active noise cancellation for $179. That said, the $249 AirPods Pro has the added advantage of being able to act as both a hearing test and hearing aids for those who need them (and more of us need them than know it).
Infinity Game Board ($499): This tabletop game console allows for solo and family play of board, card and table games on a large screen with an intuitive multitouch interface. And this unit is more compact than the original table version we reviewed back in 2021.
PlugBug ($69.99): This family of power chargers can juice up multiple devices simultaneously and has the added benefit of built-in support for Apple's "Find My" network so you can easily locate the PlugBug (or track whatever bag it is in). The pricier travel versions include adapters for outlets around the world.
Anker MagGo ($74.99): Power banks are another must-have in the travel bag (carry-on only, of course). Anker's line of MagGo batteries can either wirelessly connect to an iPhone or to a broad range of devices via USB-C.
Belkin BoostCharge Plus ($69.99): If wireless charging isn't a priority, this PowerBank has built-in cords for both lightning and USB-C and can charge two devices at once.
