Not everyone likes to keep up with the latest tech (who needs a smart fridge?), but there are still so many cool gadgets on the market worth gifting. Even your tech-illiterate loved ones will love having a bird feeder that identifies birds or a mug that keeps their tea hot.
1. An ultra-slim power bank that reviewers say beats anything Apple has put out. Despite its dainty size, the magnetic charger delivers 5,000mAh of power — enough to charge a dead iPhone 17 to 25% in half an hour. Not that speed matters here: It's way less obstrusive than the bulky, brick-like ones, so it'll be like there's nothing there at all.
Promising review: "I love this portable charger. It's so convenient to carry in my purse and very useful. I have yet to use it to charge a completely dead phone, but I used it to charge it when it was less than 20%. It charged my phone to half way in about 6 minutes. The added bonus of the slimness is awesome; it feels great in my hands. It doesn't overheat. I am very happy with it." —Emily
Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (available in four colors).
2. A rechargeable lighter offering a safe way to light their candle, even if the wick is getting hard to reach. It's windproof, and it doesn't need lighter fluid, so they can feel like the Nikola Tesla of relaxing.
Uncommon Goods
Or check out this version with a bendy neck on Amazon for $9.99.
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $32 (available in two colors).
Ships in 2–3 business days — expedited shipping available.
3. A square LED phone light that's a little more subtle than a ring light (no reflecting circles onto their eyeballs) and can clip right onto their device. And with three different brightness intensities, they can up their selfie game, properly light their endless pet pics, or take profesh(-ish)-looking photos for that Depop career they've been meaning to start.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This selfie light is amazing, 10/10! The lighting it provides is perfect, with different brightness levels and tones to suit any situation. Whether you’re taking photos, video calling, or recording content, this light significantly enhances image quality. I ordered it, and my bestie loved it, so we ordered another one. Absolutely love it." —sof
Get it from Amazon for $25.99.
4. A one-button electric wine bottle opener they'll likely start using the second they unwrap it. Nothing worse than getting a cramped hand or cork in their wine after opening like, 10 bottles in a row at the holiday party. Bonus: The sleek, matte design makes it extra gifty.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I have had this wine bottle opener for over two years and I'm so happy with this purchase. I love the aesthetic and that I can leave it on the counter. When you receive the product, you just have to plug it in to charge, and then it’s ready to use. It’s convenient to have the foil cutter. It’s also still sharp after two years. In just a few seconds, the bottle is opened, and I’m ready to enjoy a glass of wine!" —Rebecca Anne
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors).
5. An HP Sprocket portable photo printer so they can move their favorite memories from the annoying """Cloud""" to the real, material world. They just need to download the free Sprocket app, connect it to their phone, and they'll be able to edit and print high-quality photos right away.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
You can even connect your app with your friends and family and send each other photos to print! Don't forget to grab some photo paper!
Check out a TikTok of the Sprocket printer in action.
Promising review: "I am so glad I got this! My main purpose was to have an affordable way to print photos for my baby book. I thought the photos would be too small, but they’re kind of the perfect size. Also the app has these cute 'stickers' and borders you can add to the photos (a lot related to baby stuff), and the best part is the sticky back. There really are no cons to this printer except sometimes the color is a little distorted. It depends on what your purpose for this printer is, but the quality really isn’t that bad. I would say out of 50 photos, maybe five I have wanted to reprint. I mean, they are going in my first child's baby album, it’s not like I’m putting crap quality in there. Definitely not a dealbreaker for everything else that is great about it." —McCleskeyFam
Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in nine colors and in bundles).
6. A personalized home LED ticker they can customize to display sports scores, quotes, stock prices, weather, and more. There are over 50 customizable apps to choose from, and — best of all — there's NO subscription fee.
Uncommon Goods
Promising review: "My husband never wants anything for his birthday/Christmas, but he loves this! It's super unique and works very well. He loves the customizable aspects. Easy to set up and very vibrant colors. My dad already wants one as well." —Surely Steph
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $160+ (available in three sizes).
Ships in 2–3 business days — expedited shipping available.
7. A handy device ready to help them make ice cream at home. Folks: ice cream. At home. This particular machine is easy to use, fast (ice cream and sorbet in 20 minutes!), and makes up to 1.5 quarts of frozen goodness. The transparent lid even has a spout, so they can add ingredients as they go. Most interestingly, they can also use it to make frozen cocktails. 👀 👀 👀
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
My favorite TikTok account uses this ice cream maker! See it in action here.
Promising review: "I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this ice cream maker. I never purchase store-bought ice cream anymore. I make non-dairy ice cream. My children, husband, and everyone who tastes it can't believe I made it." —Saida
Get it from Amazon for $54.99.
For extra pizazz, throw in these cute ice cream bowls.
8. An affordable sunrise alarm clock they'll really appreciate when they have to wake up before the sun. The device has seven natural sounds and will gradually brighten to simulate a sunrise so they can pretend they're not waking up at an ungodly hour.
This can be programmed with seven different light settings, seven different calming "wake up" noises, and to start gradually lighting up at 30, 20, or 10 minutes before they wake.
Promising review: "I got this recommendation from TikTok and it really has helped, especially with Oregon winters where the sun is not out by the time the alarm rings. It has several peaceful alarm settings and even has night music to put you to sleep. The sunrise with the alarm piano is what I play to wake me up every morning, and it is a way better way than to wake up to an annoying phone alarm." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $31.92+ (available in two styles).
9. A neat lamp with a ferrofluid display that jumps and dances to the rhythm of their music, even if it's uhhh, music you would never dance to. The LED has an eight-hour battery life and comes with a magnet, so they can make their lil' blob groove even when there's no music playing.
Amazon
Reviewers note that this works best when displayed upright (as seen in the photos).
Promising review: "I bought this item for work. It works great and responds to voices and low sounds by jumping around. Larger sounds make the ferrofluid dance and turn into a star shape. It didn't take too long to charge this morning and has been fun to watch throughout the day. Its almost like having your own personal jellyfish aquarium." —Craig T.
Get it from Amazon for $99.99.
10. A birdfeeder with a built-in camera so they can spy on their feathered friends and make notes on the avian goings-on. The camera has an AI system that can identify over 6,000 bird species, so they'll never have to argue whether the bird that visited was a goldfinch or an Eastern meadowlark.
Amazon, www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
They can opt for notifications when birds come to visit (reviewers note that can be overwhelming if they have a lot of birds in the area) and save videos for later. The videos are high-def and have night vision so they can see every feather on that cardinal's head.
Promising review: "Got this for my 95-year-old dad. He loves watching the feed of the birds come to visit, and I get to watch his feed from my home, too. I recommend this for any bird lover." —Cathy W
Get it from Amazon for $139.99 (available in two colors and a solar AI feature).
11. Teenage Engineering's PO-12 Rhythm pocket operator, a stripped-down sequencer with 16 punch-in effects and pattern chains so your favorite musician or producer can make sick beats anywhere. Cutest of all, a little sewing machine animation plays as they compose.
Amazon
Promising review: "This is the quickest I've ever gotten up to speed on a synthesizer, and some of the most fun I've ever had with one...at the lowest price point! A great deal of quality, versatility, and spontaneity in a very small package. Worth adding to almost anyone's arsenal. Even as a more-fun-than-drudgery metronome, it's worth the price of admission. But once you start chaining sequences together and playing with FX automation, its flexibility and pizzazz start to shine." —David
Get it from Amazon for $59 (see more styles here).
12. An Aerflo System that lets them carbonate water *ON THE GO!* That means they can take a fizzy drink with you, and when they run out, they can refill at a water fountain and fizz it up for round two. Each refillable capsule makes four bottles' worth, so they're gonna be swimming in bubbles.
Aerflo
The kit comes with one 17-ounce bottle, four refillable capsules, a carbonation device, and a travel case that can hold up to three capsules.
Promising review: "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Love it! I’ve been using the Aerflo for a while now and absolutely love it! The refill process is quick and easy — no mess, no hassle. I really appreciate always having carbonated water on hand. It’s a game-changer for staying hydrated and has definitely helped me drink more water every day. The convenience and quality are top-notch. Highly recommend!" —John P.
Get it from Aerflo for $67.20 (originally $84).
Most orders will arrive between 5–7 business days.
13. A vintage-inspired Kodak half-frame film camera ready to take dreamy photos without requiring much skill or oodles of money. Reviewers love that it's lightweight and easy to use, so this will be perfect for people looking to dip their toe into photography.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
A half-frame camera means twice as many photos for each roll of film!
Promising reviews: "I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, and this camera made everything so simple! I bought it for my trip to Portugal and could not be happier with the quality of the photos. The half-frame look really is so unique! Plus, you get double the photos, making film photography a slightly less expensive hobby. 10/10." —Amazon Customer
"I bought this camera for my daughter, and she loves it! She wanted a camera that she could carry around and snap quick, fun pictures in her dorm or outside on campus. She loves getting the pictures developed and the authentic feel of a real picture and not one on her phone! She loves the color and light weight. Reasonably priced and a great buy." —Just Jenny
Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in five colors). You can get some Kodak film to go with it, too!
14. A set of LED lightsaber chopsticks to make fights over the last dumpling extra dramatic. They can change colors (red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor), so your recipient can either make them match or change to red and blue to recreate The Duel on Cloud City.
Emma Lord / BuzzFeed, ChopSabers
Promising review: "The chopsticks are very durable, and the glow is bright. They're a bit bigger than I expected — but I'm very pleased nonetheless with the product because it serves the purpose and is entertaining for kids, right up to adult Star Wars nerds. It also made the perfect gift for my fellow Star Wars nerds. I've been too busy playing with them rather than using them to eat food — but hopefully, that will eventually happen before the batteries need changing." —Anthony
Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in two styles).
15. A splurgey mini TV that requires no apps or Wi-Fi to work. Just plug it in and bam! A random episode of The Simpsons from seasons 1–11.
KeyCreativeAus / Etsy
KeyCreativeAus is an Australian small business that sells mini TVs.
Promising review: "I had this sent to my brother for his birthday. We both grew up watching The Simpsons, and we only ever talk in quotes from like the first seven seasons. When he got it, he immediately sent me a video of him holding it in his hands and saying over and over 'THIS IS SO COOL! This is SO cool!' He raves and raves about it being THE BEST GIFT EVER!!! $200 ain't cheap for us, but to me it was worth EVERY PENNY!" —Robbi
Get it from KeyCreativeAus on Etsy for $205.68+ (available in two cord types).
Arrives in 2–3 weeks.
16. A magical 3D pen so their art can enter a NEW DIMENSION! The device is a cross between a 3D printer and hot glue gun — they just load one of the included colored plastic sticks, then press the button to release the moldable plastic.
3Doodler, www.amazon.com
The kit includes the pen, two refill packs, an activity guide, USB cable, and a doodle pad.
Promising review: "I will be the first to admit that I thought this was going to be a novelty toy that my kids used once (then it would fall by the wayside). I mean, it’s basically a glorified glue gun! To my amazement, my kids can’t get enough of it. They fight over it. They use it every single day. To be fair, there is no way a kid can make anything like the examples on the box. I realize their projects aren’t going to make it into a fine art gallery, but it keeps them busy and creative. They fix toys with the doodler and are convinced it is a magical tool that can solve any problem. I never imagined I’d be giving this 5 stars, but whoever thought of this device is a genius (and clearly knows kids better than me!)" —Casey C.
Get it from Amazon for $59.99.
17. A wireless, Bluetooth-enabled karaoke mic able to sync up with most devices, meaning their home is about to become a karaoke bar. When they're done belting their favorite show tunes, they can use it as a Bluetooth speaker by turning off the microphone function.
Promising review: "You don't understand — TikTok made me obsess over this microphone. As a 30+ year-old woman, I resisted purchasing it. I finally broke down and bought it because it was haunting me in my sleep. I'm so glad I did. When I am in a bad mood, I start karaoke in my house and am instantly better. It has 'ruined' my teenage son's life because my performances can be heard through his Xbox microphone. This is a must-have product." —Zane A. Undercoffer
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 14 colors).
18. A Mini photo and video camera keychain so they can take moody shots at a moment's notice. Sure, their phone is serviceable, but sometimes you need a little grit, right?
Urban Outfitters
Promising review: "This thing is so cute. I’d buy it even if it wasn’t a functioning camera, but it is, and that just makes it that much cooler. Footage gives '90s/'00s vibes, perfect for casual hangs with friends. Gonna be carrying around with me everywhere this summer." —TiffanyM90
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $49+ (available in three colors and with an SD card) or something similar from Amazon for $35.99 (available in two colors).
Ships from Urban Outfitters in 3–5 business days.
19. A LittleHippo Mella alarm clock they can put in charge of bedtime. The new sleep buddy uses colors and facial expressions to help show little ones when it's time to sleep and wake up, has three alarm settings, and works as a night-light if needed.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: “Outstanding investment! We absolutely LOVE our Mella! I bought this for my 7-year-old son to teach him how to be responsible in the mornings and manage his time to get ready for school, and I could not be more pleased with this precious clock! He loves it, it has a pleasing sound, the light is not too bright, and it makes a perfect nightlight. We also adore the sweet little face on it!” —Shawn or James Northcutt
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in four colors).
20. A pair of Bluetooth long-distance touch bracelets that'll light up when touched, so you can ping your long-distance loved one throughout the day to let them know you're thinking about them. Personally, I like to send a bunch of emojis, but this method is way less annoying.
Amazon
Because this is light-based, you can make your own color codes, where blue could be "I miss you," pink might be "something just reminded me of you," purple could be "I love you" — you get the idea.
Promising review: "This bracelet is such a cute idea. It’s easy to set up and really does make you feel close to your person, even when you’re apart. The little 'touch' buzz is subtle but meaningful. Perfect gift for long-distance couples." —Brandy REVIEWS
Get a pair from Amazon for $138.
21. A wireless scanning pen perfect for your favorite pro notetaker. This futuristic device scans 3,000 characters per minute — basically a line of text in a second — so they can transfer text straight from their books to their computer faster than they can say, "Will there be extra credit?" It can also translate 40 languages and even read text back to them as it scans. What an A+ gift-giver you are!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The scanner works with any device that can connect to Bluetooth 4.0 or higher. See a TikTok of the scanning pen in action.
Promising review: "This is quite possibly the best product I have ever bought. It has cut my flashcard-making time down by at least half. I ordered it thinking it might be okay, but it worked way better than I ever expected it to. Once you learn how to use it (which doesn't take that much time) and scan at the right speed and angle, the mistakes will be minimal. There are still far fewer mistakes than when I just type it myself, and it is way faster than typing. This has completely changed my entire school experience. On top of that, the customer service is great. I got a new computer and couldn't find the product key to reinstall it. I sent them an email, and I got a new product key in a few hours. Anyone who makes flashcards on a computer needs to buy this product." —Josh
Get it from Amazon for $149.
22. A compact label maker so charming, they'll find themself labeling everything, down to individual Diet Coke cans. It connects to their phone through Bluetooth and lets them print out their own designs so their labels will look super cute even if they're possibly a bit passive aggressive.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
There are predesigned templates they can choose from or they can create their own all in the app with different symbols, frames, and font varieties.
Promising review: "I love how easy it is to use! You can customize your labels how you please on their app, or you can use their lite mode, and with those you can do simple labels. I really like how easy a quick it is. I think I'm going to label EVERYTHING in my house! LOL." —Stephanie Lopez
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors).
23. An eye-catching moonrise alarm clock for anyone who likes to be gently awoken like a lil' fawn rising with the sun instead of being rocketed out of bed with a blaring siren. Forgoing the usual irritating cacophony of noise, it'll gradually light up and play nature sounds. There's also a soothing night-light setting with shooting stars.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Touch the top of the clock to turn on the light. There are 10 soothing nature sounds and 12 volume levels for deeper sleepers. Check out a TikTok of the moonrise alarm clock in action.
Promising review: "This thing is the real deal. My daughters love it! They needed a way to wake up more naturally on school days — this alarm can be set to begin brightening 10 minutes before their alarm, and it’s helped a lot! Plus, they adore the beautiful moon nightlight with shooting stars — I do, too! This one seemed too good to be true when I ordered it, but it’s definitely lived up to the hype." —Emlefty11
Get it from Amazon for $37.99.
24. An Ember temperature-control smart mug to help extra-particular drinkers keep their coffee or tea at the exact right temperature. They can control the vessel through an app to ensure that their cuppa is consistently hot from the first sip to the last. There are even presets for specific drinks.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "I honestly went into this thinking that this product would not work as I envision it in my head, but, oh my god, it's unbelievable. I loved it so much that I bought the bigger 14oz. I find myself drinking my tea faster. What I love is that no matter what I am doing, even when I get super busy, I return and my tea is still nice and warm, the way I like it. Definitely a must if you are a tea or coffee drinker." —TS Jones
Get it from Amazon for $69.95+ (available in two sizes and 12 colors).
25. A portable Bluetooth speaker with a shocking amount of features: They can cast images from their phone, design their own pixel art, set timers, listen to the radio, and even play pixel games.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The TV-shaped speaker comes with over 100 display images, FM radio, a white noise setting, and over 15 mini-games. You can make pixel art to display with a corresponding app or access a pixel art gallery to check out what other artists are creating.
Promising review: "This is the cutest and most amazing Bluetooth speaker that I’ve ever had. But it’s more than that. It’s a clock; it has sleep sounds and alarms. You can find cool creations that people have made that you can set as your clock face. The look is absolutely amazing. It’s extremely easy to use. The sound quality is so good, and it’s so loud for such a small speaker! The build quality is amazing, and I’m telling you right now this speaker is definitely a must-have; it’s the perfect gift." —Tabitha
Get it from Amazon for $459.99+ (available in four colors).
26. A breakfast sandwich maker that cooks every part of the sandwich at once and then neatly stacks them together so they can skip the line at their local deli. A gift that keeps on giving.
Hamilton Beach
All the removable, nonstick parts on this sandwich maker are dishwasher safe.
Promising review: "My college daughter loves this sandwich maker! It's quick and simple and requires no more than an outlet, although I do recommend spraying non-stick on the plates once in a while or at least wiping with a touch of Crisco. This makes cleaning it easier, too. Makes sandwiches just like the fast food joint but at far less cost, and you can do it in your jammies!" —AZDonnamae
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in six colors).
27. A square magnet you can customize with a picture and sentimental song. Whether you're going with a sweet ballad for your partner or "Crazy Frog" for your weirdo best friend, they're probably gonna play it a lot.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
You can even record your own voice for something even more personal.
Promising review: "I just got this magnet in the mail today. I am blown away! The size is great, the picture turned out perfectly, and the song I chose for it was great. This is an anniversary gift for my son and his wife. They're going to love it!" —Tami
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in 17 colors).
28. A swanky-looking Ninja coffee maker boasting four different brewing styles (classic, rich, over ice, or specialty), a built-in frother, and the ability to work with pods or grounds. It's thin enough to fit on almost any counter, which is good because they'll want to show this beauty off.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "After owning another Ninja coffee maker a few years ago and having it leak and die on me, I had just about given up on the brand. But man, was I pleasantly surprised with the functionality and design of the grounds and pods machine. The pods side provides you with a good amount of sizing options( up to 12 ounces) and most of the style features, while the grounds sides give you endless options with serving sizes up to 24 ounces and the ability to use the specialty feature that makes cafe-style lattes and frappuccinos. The frother is another great feature that will whisk up milk and cream in no time for rich drinks and beverages. Also, this machine gets hot!! One thing I hate is a coffee maker that pours out lukewarm coffee and doesn't fully saturate the grounds. This one gets very hot very quickly and gives you the perfect temp for every serving size. Overall, I love the machine and was impressed with its features and brewing capabilities." —Persesphone2
Get it from Amazon for $99.95+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
29. A cleaning toy car that'll be as much a gift for the child as the parent; they'll be crowning you the champion gift giver when playtime becomes clean-the-floor time. The car can hold up to 160 pounds, so some adults can take a spin too!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Parents can fine-tune the driving experience with adjustable speed options, from 0–5 miles per hour. It comes with an attachable mop that they can add a Swiffer pad or reusable mop cover to.
Promising review: "If you are thinking of getting something for your kids, don't look any further. Absolutely worth every penny. Only vehicle I have found that goes 5 miles per hour (adjustable speed) in such a compact shape. Not only can it go faster than 99% of other brands, it's cheaper than most, comes with a storage compartment, is sleek to go around corners easily, and has an arm attachment to add a Swiffer to clean your floors. My niece, at under 2, could take corners around this thing at full speed. This thing can handle 140 pounds with no problem at full speed and has no issue holding two kids at once. Don't buy any other slow 1–2.5-mile per hour vehicle when you can get this one. It's a no-brainer. Show your kids how awesome a parent you are, or get it for you and speed around your home. Up to you." —Catalina
Get it from Amazon for $179.99 (available in three colors).
30. A smart digital picture frame for the person who wants an endless stream of photos of loved ones. Using the corresponding app, they can create playlists of different photo albums and even invite family members to add their own. This handy gadget can sense when someone is nearby and turn on/off accordingly.
Amazon
Promising reviews: "Beautifully packaged, kinda like an Apple product. VERY easy setup. Added two friends via app, and now I'm receiving photos from across the county during social distancing! A must-have." —NHA4wine
"I was gifted this frame for Christmas and loved it so much I bought one for my mom for her birthday. It’s so easy to use and upload photos. She gets daily pics of the grandkids sent right to the frame." —hopeful but sad
Get it from Amazon for $118.99+ (available in two sizes).
31. An electric makeup brush cleaner that spins their brush and creates a mini vortex in their soapy water. The spinning helps clean and dry the bristles in record time.
Elizabeth Arnold / Via www.amazon.com
It comes with a brush spinner with three speeds, charging station, eight rubber collars, a glass bowl, manual, and cleaning solution.
Promising review: "This was even better than I expected! I picked this one for the USB recharging, which is wonderful. The quality is great and it works extremely well. My brushes are clean and dried in seconds. I went through all my brushes in less than 5 minutes, including the prep and easy cleanup. I gave this 5 stars for ease of use because it is awesome and much more efficient than the other method I used with a special mat and drying stand. That way wasted a lot of water and cleaner and was rough on my brushes." —Dawn Marie
Get it from Amazon for $33.99.
32. A kitchen s'mores maker that'll bring the best part of camping indoors, thus eliminating the need for camping at all. Indoor people, rejoice!
Promising review: "Amazing s’mores! My fiancé loves s’mores so I thought this would be a great birthday gift. We plugged it in and it works perfectly. Heats up fast and makes a perfect marshmallow." —Dakota N.
Get it from Amazon for $23.99.
33. A pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones just as cute and functional as AirPods Max, but at a price point so low, it'll seem like a clerical error. Despite the tiny price tag, they still boast cushion padding, a built-in mic, 10 hours of playtime per charge, and noise-cancelling capability.
Emma Lord/BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com
iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories.
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord says, "I own a pair of these, and because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point."
Promising review: "I went from using AirPod Pros to these. They’re honestly really good sound quality. I am surprised at how well they sound, considering I do audio engineering. Great replacement for Apple Airpod Maxes!!! Totally worth it — best purchase I’ve made in a while. PLUS!!! They’re so cute on. :)" —Hanna
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors).
34. A working claw machine they can fill with any tiny treats they'd like, from squishy toys to candy to...uhm...bones. Now they can say, "we have claw machine at home."
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The machine comes with fake coins to activate, but it also works with real quarters. Reviewers warn that it's pretty loud and burns through D batteries.
Promising review: "This game is awesome! So worth the purchase! I got it for my niece's 4th birthday and it was a hit! I read all the reviews prior to purchasing and I highly recommend doing that. I was able to buy smaller toys and figurines to throw in there as well as some bite size candy so I could have it ready for her to open and play with." —Chelsey
Get it from Amazon for $37.99.
35. And a 3-in-1 portable charger that opens up to charge their iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch all at the same time. When they're done, it folds into a little dollop of a device that's easy to throw in a bag for later. Fights over the outlet and tangled cords are just not something we have to worry about these days.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "These are fabulous for travel — they charge three devices from just one USB port, especially [helpful] when frequenting hotel rooms. The first one is now permanently stationed bedside to help clean up the clutter, and this will go into my briefcase for future excursions. Compact, and effective!" —see2xu

Why Trust BuzzFeed Shopping?
BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life. We center readers over revenue, recommend products with authenticity (using real experiences, not ad-speak), and reflect our diverse audience, inclusive of a variety of price points, people, and needs. We cut through fake deals, favor useful info over glossy fluff, and recommend both budget and splurge options with context so you can decide what’s right for you — and still have a little fun along the way.
Rebecca O'Connell is a BuzzFeed Shopping editor with over 10 years of experience finding and vetting new products. She's personally tested hundreds of products, sifted through tens of thousands of consumer reviews, and met with countless brands to expand her breadth of recommendations. Her work has been featured in prominent publications like Rolling Stone, Mental Floss, Encyclopedia Britannica, and Merriam-Webster.
Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
