34 Cool And Useful Gadget Gifts For The Person Who Basically Has Everything

'Cause they've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty...but not *these*.

Hey! While we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time for Christmas, shipping times are tricky and can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. Shop early, and be sure to double check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for the 25th!

1. A handheld milk foamer so they can practice their barista skills and add a professional touch to their morning cup of joe or evening hot chocolate. Plus, you get to reap the benefits when they're like, "Hey, want a latte?" every time you drop by for a visit. 😏

2. And an electric mug warmer if they're always moving around and doing so many things that their coffee goes cold before they can finish even one cup. With this electric warmer, they'll be able to happily enjoy their hot, caffeinated drink for hours.

A tip for your giftee: Reviewers suggest turning the heat down from high to medium once the drink gets down to about the halfway point so it stays a comfortable temperature!

Promising review: "My husband actually bought this for me, and I LOVE It. It keeps my coffee warm for hours so that I can enjoy it throughout the morning rather than trying to drink it quickly so that it doesn't get cold while I'm working. It has a couple of different settings. 10/10!! Great gift!" —Brittany Vogt

3. A reel viewer that'll deliver the ultimate nostalgia kick when they're able to pop in a reel and take a walk down memory lane, viewing snapshots of their life and loved ones the old-fashioned way. You can customize the photos on each reel, making this one truly precious keepsake.

4. A faaaancy automatic spice grinder with the coolest design. To use, they'll swap in interchangeable pods filled with spices for grinding directly into their food — especially helpful when the recipe calls for a *lot* of pepper. It'll give them that freshly ground flavor that tastes way better than out of the shaker!

5. An aroma diffuser that looks super elegant and will give their home the most peaceful vibes — perfect for the homebody who values their *relaxation* time, thank you very much! It even has seven soothing color options that look especially cool at night.

6. A small-but-mighty portable projector they can set up anywhere for watching sports, showing videos, or creating the most magical movie night (complete with comfy pillows and blankets, of course). Paired with a good screen, this gadget will let them take the good times to the backyard, on a camping trip, and anywhere they like.

7. An automatic pan stirrer for the person who's always cooking but also has, like, 10 other things going on at all times and no one around to help stir the sauce when they have to turn their back to the stove! It'll be the little kitchen assistant they desperately need and might just prevent a burned food catastrophe or two.

Promising review: "My husband loves to cook. We have two very small children, so while his meals are mostly yummy, they are also sometimes burnt. :) This was perfect for him. He's able to turn it on, run into the next room to save the day with a plastic bag and a washcloth for whatever blowout-esque mess I'm dealing with, forget he's cooking, run back into the kitchen frantically when he remembers, and arrive only to find the meal practically cooking itself. Best. Gift. Ever." —Jake the ChefturnedDaddy

Shipping info: Economy, standard, and express (1-2 business days) shipping options are offered. See full shipping info here

8. Lightsaber chopsticks to combine their love of Star Wars with their voracious appetite for sushi.

9. A 360-degree rotating Furbo camera so they can check in on their dog (or cat!) when they're at work, on a trip, or anywhere outside the home. They'll get push notifications when their pup is barking and be able to talk to them through the app to calm them — and even toss them a treat!

An optional add-on subscription — Furbo Dog Nanny — unlocks even more functionality with the camera, including tracking specific dog activities (like when they jump on furniture), alerting them when a person comes into view or smoke is detected, taking selfies when the dog is looking at the camera, and creating a 60-second doggie diary that shows the highlights of your dog's day. A 30-day free trial of this subscription is included!

Promising review: "Coolest gadget ever! This is probably the neatest, coolest, most helpful device I've ever bought! I need to see what my devil dog is doing when I leave and try to stop him from destroying the house! Not only does it follow your dog, you can talk to them, give them a treat and see what happens at night! It records any movement, so I can see what my teens are doing when they are finally up! Heeheehee! The treats have to be a certain size and need to be round. Mine are oblong shaped and get stuck every so often, so I'll have to get small round treats." —Karen Wilson

Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with one-day shipping; non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas. See Amazon's full shipping info here and check the product listing for estimated delivery dates.

10. A teensy pore vacuum that'll be their new favorite toy when they see how well it suctions out all of the gunk trapped inside their pores! Once you see how smooth and blackhead-free their nose is, you'll probably want to pick up one of these bad boys yourself.

11. A handy dandy liquid plastic melding tool if nothing gives them more joy than fixing little things around the home. This'll let them wield even more fixing power with things like frayed cords, cracked dishes, and broken glasses frames. ... They'll be *looking* for things to fix once they get going with this thing.

12. A critter catcher that'll come to their rescue next time a creepy-crawly appears and you're not around to remove it for them — they can grab the spider, roach, or whatever bug has become their unwanted visitor and safely dispose of them outside (while keeping them 4 feet away at *all* times).

13. A Fujifilm Instax instant film camera so they can flex their photography skills in a retro-style format and capture their favorite locations (and people) in instant prints — perfect for displaying on their fridge, along their wall, or at their desk so they can smile at the memories.

14. A phone light that clips right onto their phone so they can take A+ selfies no matter where they are or what time of day it is. Hey, one can't predict when that BeReal notification is gonna go off!

15. A soil-free AeroGarden Harvest if their green thumb never manifested but they've *always* wanted to try growing their own herbs. This'll take them back to the basics and makes it basically impossible to mess up (because it tells you when to feed and water), resulting in delicious herbs that'll kick their meals up a notch.

Promising review: "I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend's sister-in-law who lamented not having a green thumb. I was somewhat apprehensive, having read a few reviews that mentioned pods not sprouting. However, in the two months that the sis-in-law has had the AeroGarden, the growth has been tremendous. I'm constantly in awe when she sends me pics of the new growth. Only one pod failed to spout, but she reached out to customer service, and they are sending a replacement for that particular pod. All the others have grown quite large, and last night I received a picture of their dinner using herbs grown with the AeroGarden. Impressive!" —Mary A. Walls

Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with one-day shipping; non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas. See Amazon's full shipping info here and check the product listing for estimated delivery dates.

Get it from Amazon for $99+ (available in four colors and three styles).

16. A Deeper smart sonar that will be *extremely* helpful to a very specific person in your life: the person who's out on the lake fishing any chance they get. This clever gadget scans a wide area of water to help them see fish and vegetation, check the depth and temperature, and get all the data they need to reel in a big one.

17. A salt shooter if they're really just a big kid at heart — they'll have a blast sniping Enemy No. 1 of any household: flies. They might already have everything, but chances are they don't have this in their arsenal yet.

18. A CleanKey because touching public surfaces like door handles, store checkout touchscreens, and ATM keys feels grosser than ever nowadays. If they're constantly wiping down dirty surfaces and applying hand sanitizer, they'll love having this little tool to carry around, too.

19. Super strong magnetic strips they can peel and stick to the fridge ceiling to store bottled drinks in the most space-efficient way and free up space for other items below. No more shoving things around and stacking things to make room for a new six-pack.

20. A portable solar-powered light and charger perfect for outdoor adventures and late-night chats under the stars. It has four light modes *and* a USB port for two-way charging so they can juice up their phone and keep the tunes going all night, too.

21. A HyperChiller if iced coffee is their go-to 365 days a year — now, they can enjoy it without having to put on pants and leave the house (AND they'll be saving money on Starbucks trips). It can take a hot cup of coffee and chill it by 130 degrees in less than a minute!

22. A portable, all-in-one golf cleaner that comes with everything they need to clean their clubs while out on the green (instead of having to lug everything inside the house afterward when they just want to plop down on the couch and rest).

23. A towel warmer so they'll always have a steaming hot towel at the ready when they get out of the shower on a frigid morning. Their body won't even have the CHANCE to get cold.

24. A stainless steel wine chiller that'll keep their rosé, chardonnay, or sparkling wine perfectly chilled while lounging in the park or by the pool — because they deserve better than sipping from a warm drink (ugh).

25. Comfy wireless sleep headphones so they can play white noise (or whatever else helps them catch some Z's) without the discomfort of regular earbuds or earplugs. The loved one with a partner who snores will weep tears of happiness when you explain what this does!

26. A Waterpik water flosser — because they *might* already own an electric toothbrush, but we're betting a water flosser hasn't crossed their path yet. It'll make both their gums and their dentist happy, since it's up to 50% more effective than regular floss. Plaque doesn't even stand a chance.

27. A Foreo facial cleansing brush that'll remove makeup, deeply cleanse, and massage their face all at the same time, leaving their skin soft and smooth (ready for all their serums and moisturizers) afterward. It's basically an at-home facial, and just think about how much *those* cost.

28. A Garmin Forerunner 35 GPS running watch if they still haven't jumped on the smartwatch train, but they're big into running and fitness. This has GPS built in to track their distance, speed, and location as well as heart rate and other metrics — that way, they'll be able to really track their progress over time. (Plus, it's a fraction of the price of an Apple Watch.)

29. A mini beauty fridge, one of those items that's on pretty much every skincare lover's wishlist. It'll keep their serums, rollers, creams, and sheet masks refreshingly cool *and* fresh for longer (plus, they could hide snacks in there as well 👀).

30. A bag re-sealer that'll keep their half-eaten bag of chips or granola bar from going stale in between snacking sessions by sealing the bag shut at the end. Finally, they can snack *efficiently* without any waste.

31. A brush spinner because chances are, it's been a while since their makeup brushes were deeply cleaned (we're all guilty of this!). This powerful spinner can clean, rinse, and dry their brushes in half the time — and make the task more fun, too.

32. A rechargeable, waterproof cooler light for their bonfires, camping trips, and outdoor get-togethers, especially with the sun setting early during the winter. Now, they won't have to whip out their phone flashlight every time they get up to go for another drink.

33. A set of three fermentation lids if they're of the opinion that most things taste better pickled (because hard agree) or just like trying new things in the kitchen. From carrots and cucumbers to tomatoes and cabbage, the options for pickling are endless, and they'll have some tasty snacks and meal toppers when they're ready.

The set comes with three lids and one pump (jars not included). 

Promising review: "I am a first-time fermenter and was very pleased with this kit. I made dill pickles and some mixed veggies (cauliflower, carrots, onions, and green beans). They all turned out yummy. I used half gallon jars and the glass weights, and didn't have any mold problems! I was not prepared for the smells though. Love this product as it makes it so easy to get some tasty probiotics into your gut." —Claudia Turner

34. A set of in-sync lamps for the loved one who lives far away or has a long-distance S.O. Each lamp is connected to Wi-Fi, and when one person touches theirs, the other person will see their lamp light up — a sweet reminder that you're in each other's thoughts.
