it our favorite iPadand it is sold. The 10th generation Apple iPad (7/10, WIRED Review) offers better value at a discount, and it (theoretically) comes in lots of fun colors. It has a modern design, USB-C charging, and tons of compatibility accessories. It’s fast and has decent cameras, and best of all, it’s easy to use.
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra (9/10, Recommended by WIRED) top our list of Best Noise-Canceling Headphones. They have really good noise cancellation, plus good call quality. Overall, the sound is sparkling and punchy, and the design is sleek while remaining comfortable. We wish the battery life was better, but overall it’s hard to go wrong here, especially at this price.
This little MagSafe charger is an honorable mention of ours MagSafe Power Bank Buying Guide. It works well, and the 5,000-mAh capacity can charge most phones from dead to full at least once. The power bank is on the chunky side, and it works with non-MagSafe phones thanks to the included attachment. Anyone on your list could probably benefit from a phone charger.

The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is our favorite streaming stick for most people. It’s fast and easy to set up—just plug it into your TV’s HDMI port. This model includes a voice remote so you can hold the microphone button and say what you want over the air. Roku’s interface is easy to navigate, even if your gift isn’t the most tech-savvy. And there are many free channels so they can do it all Antiques Roadshows or How It’s Made. Or Mr. Beast videos, if that’s their thing.
The Apple Watch Series 10 (8/10, Recommended by WIRED) is the Best Apple Watchtime. We really wish it had blood oxygen sensing like most other fitness trackers. But it has a suite of health metric tracking and smart features, including basics like steps and exercises to Breathing Disturbances tracking that helps detect sleep apnea. It also has Fall Detection and the new Vitals app. If you’re on a tighter budget, you can also save on the second generation Apple Watch SE for $229 ($50 off) which is a bargain a good buy at this price.
The Dyson Airwrap (8/10, Recommended by WIRED) is an excellent multifunctional hair tool featured in our Curling Irons Buying Guide. This gift bundle comes in a beautiful blush Strawberry Bronze color that doesn’t go on sale often. It has various attachments and accessories, including two barrels, three round brushes, a smoothing dryer, a carrying case, etc.

Dyson’s V15 Detect is exactly that best Dyson vacuum. It weighs less than 7 pounds and is easy to maneuver into tight corners and various corners of your home. It can run for 60 minutes at a time and has a sensor that automatically adjusts the suction level based on the current cleaning task. This model also has a neat neon-green laser that helps you find lost dust particles, making it a better vacuum for people with allergies.
The Ninja Creami (6/10, WIRED Review) is one of the our favorite gifts for the home chefand this price is even better than what we saw on Cyber Monday. Your giftee can make all kinds of homemade ice cream, gelato, and sorbet, but this machine can also make protein-rich foods as shown in subreddit full of creative recipes. It is on the large side, but everything that is made at home resists the space it needs.
The Pro X 2 is best wireless gaming headset we tried. And we’ve tried many! Over-hear headphones can use Logitech Lightspeed for ultrafast wireless audio, but they can also be paired via Bluetooth. They are compatible with computers, phones, and consoles. There is even the option for a wired connection. The sound quality is good, the sound quality is good, and the fit is good. The price could be reasonably higher, but luckily it’s not – especially thanks to this discount.
