It is our favorite iPadand it’s on sale. The 10th generation Apple iPad (7/10, WIRED Review) offers even better value at a discounted price and is (theoretically) available in lots of fun colors. It has a modern design, USB-C charging, and tons of compatibility accessories. It’s snappy, has decent cameras, and most importantly, it’s readily available.
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra (9/10, WIRED recommends) tops our list of Best noise-cancelling headphones. They offer excellent noise cancellation and excellent call quality. Overall, the sound is fizzy and punchy, and the design is sleek while maintaining a comfortable fit. We wish the battery life was a little better, but overall it’s hard to go wrong here, especially at this price.
This little MagSafe charger is an honorable mention in our MagSafe Power Bank Buying Guide. It works well and the 5,000 mAh capacity can fill most phones from death to full at least once. The power bank is rather bulky and 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 key for most people. It’s quick and easy to set up: just plug it into the HDMI port on your TV. This model includes a voice remote control that allows you to hold down the microphone button and speak your wishes into the ether. The Roku interface is easy to navigate, even if your giftee isn’t the most tech-savvy. And there are plenty of free channels so they can binge on everything Antiques crawl Or How it’s done. Or Mr. Beast videos, if that’s their thing.
The Apple Watch Series 10 (8/10, WIRED recommends) is the Best Apple Watchperiod. We really wish it had blood oxygen detection like most other fitness trackers. But it has a suite of health metrics and smart features, including basics like steps and workouts to tracking breathing disorders that can help detect sleep apnea. It also has fall detection and the new Vitals app. If your budget is tighter, you can also save on the second generation Apple Watch SE for $229 ($50 off), which is very a great buy at this price.
The Dyson Airwrap (8/10, WIRED recommends) is an excellent multifunctional hair tool featured in our Curling iron buying guide. This gift set comes in the lovely blush colored Strawberry Bronze which doesn’t come on sale very often. It comes with a variety of attachments and accessories, including two barrels, three round brushes, a straightening dryer, a carrying case, and much more.

The Dyson V15 Detect is the best Dyson vacuum cleaner. It weighs less than 7 pounds and is easy to maneuver around tight corners and different nooks and crannies in your home. It can run for 60 minutes at a time and there is a sensor that automatically adjusts suction levels based on the cleaning task at hand. This model also has a neon green laser that can help you spot missed dust particles, making it a particularly suitable vacuum for allergy sufferers.
The Ninja Creami (6/10, WIRED Review) is one of our favorite gifts for the home chefand this price is even better than what we saw on Cyber ​​Monday. Your giftee will be able to make all kinds of homemade gelato, gelato and sorbet, but this machine is also capable of making protein-rich treats, as evidenced by the subreddit full of creative recipes. It’s pretty big, but all that homemade goodness will make up for the space it takes up.
The Pro X 2 is the best wireless gaming headset we tried. And we tried several! The headphones can use Logitech Lightspeed for super-fast wireless audio, but they can also pair via Bluetooth. They are compatible with computers, phones and consoles. There is even the possibility of a wired connection. The sound quality is good, the voice quality is good, and the fit is good. The price could rightly be higher, but fortunately that is not the case, especially thanks to this discount.
