    33 Futuristic Gifts That’ll Make Them Feel Like They're Living In 3021

    Wireless chargers, automatic pan stirrers, avant-garde lighting, and other cool gifts that'll make them feel like they just stepped out of a time machine.

    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 light saber umbrella —now they can use the Force to fend off the rain.

    2. A rechargeable sonic facial-cleansing brush that gives off sonic pulsations to remove up to 99.5% of dirt, oil, makeup, and dead skin cells while providing gentle exfoliation.

    3. A TikTok-famous bagless, touchless stationary vacuum to make them wonder why they ever owned a regular dustpan. No more bending over and transporting their filth to the trash can — now they can just sweep directly over to this ingenious device and watch it slurp up every last crumb.

    4. An incredibly detailed, dual color moon-shaped light in case they want to feel like a space giant lurking in our solar system. They can leave on its perch or carry it around with them to make their space feel extra cozy. One thing's for sure, they'll definitely be ~over the moon~ for this gift!

    Promising review: "I originally bought the 7-inch moon for my husband as a gift of 'I love you to the moon and back' for our anniversary... Well, I loved his moon so much that I kept stealing it from our bedroom and taking it to the living room. So I bought myself the 5.9-inch moon to compare sizes and have one to call my own. As it turns out, the slightly smaller 5.9-inch one is just as amazing as the seven-inch.

    These moons charge up fast with a cord (with a cool 'blue moon' color when charging) and then once charged, they are completely free from cords or any connection dependence. They light up with a very detailed real moon surface design in white or yellow, and it will totally mesmerize you. You can literally 'hold the whole moon in your hand' and use it as a cordless and battery-free lamp, a nightlight, a lantern or quasi-candle in the dark. The wood stand is sleek and super easy to assemble, and is a perfect accent to any room décor. These moons are the best gift for friends, family, co-workers, kids, pets and spouses." —Amazon Customer

    5. A smart–reusable notebook — it'll blast their handwritten notes and doodles straight to their preferred cloud service so they can save them forever. And once it's full, they can just throw it *in the microwave* to erase all of the pages at once so they can start fresh without constantly having to buy a new notebook!

    6. A very cool mini Bluetooth speaker that has no business sounding as incredible as it somehow does.

    7. A super slim wireless charger to make their desktop look way fancier.

    8. Or a handmade wood wireless charger for anyone who likes combining their tech products with a more naturalistic aesthetic.

    9. A trending rotating digital alarm clock / device charger they've probably seen on TikTok because everyone is *obsessed* with it. The cool mirrored screen features an extra-large LED display that makes it easy to catch a quick glance of the time even from a distance *and* it will auto-dim during their sleep time (although it's manually dimmable too)!  Plus, it has two charging ports so they can charge the clock *and* their other devices simultaneously.

    It's also got a big ol' snooze button so they can quickly and easily silence the numerous alarms they set before the one that actually means it's time to wake up.

    You can check out the TikTok featuring the mirrored digital alarm clock to see it in action!

    Promising review: "Love love love this clock...sleek and definitely a statement piece. Alarm is subtle — it will definitely wake you up however it will not scare the B-Jesus out of you. Love the extra ports on the side to charge other things with it." —Meika B.

    Get it from Amazon for $20.59+ (available in five colors).

    10. A smart-bottle attachment that'll be their little hydration helper by tracking when they take a sip of water and blinking to remind them when it's time to drink more to avoid the dreaded dehydration headache.

    11. A magic-looking automatic pan stirrer ingeniously designed so they can stop avoiding those recipes that call for lengthy continuous stirring. It even has a built-in timer, so they can let it take over at the stove while they bask in the glory of their newfound free time.

    12. Or a hands-free pot stirrer because spending a half hour stirring a pot of soup doesn't sound like the best use of their time when they could just let this magic device take over.

    13. A magnetic balance light that looks like it was brought back in a time machine.

    14. A cold brew coffee maker so they can stop overpaying for their fave daily beverage. Just add coffee to the brewer and water to the coffee maker, shake it up, then put it in the fridge overnight and that's it! This awesome device features an airtight lid and stainless-steel filter to keep coffee fresh for up to two weeks!

    Promising review: "I have been drinking caffeinated beverages every day for half my life. Usually brewing hot then cooling it down with ice was quite a process to do every morning. Then I came across this cold brew pitcher and thought I'd give it a try. It's great, easy to use and clean, very convenient, lasts for a couple weeks, I love it! Making a pitcher of coffee take less time than a normal brewer and makes enough for at least one cup a day for about a week, depending on how much coffee concentrate is used. I haven't used my normal coffee or espresso machine since I got this cold brew system. The coffee seems to taste better as well, not a huge difference but it's somewhat noticeable." —Birnbaum

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with next day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

    15. A bidet because the time has come to ~bidet~ sincere farewell to fully relying on toilet paper. This attachment is easy to install (no plumber needed!), will help them cut down your TP usage, and will make them feel so much cleaner and refreshed after going #2. It's a bold gift, sure, but before you ~poo poo~ it, consider how much they might actually appreciate it!

    16. A makeup brush cleaner that'll do most of the work for them — and faster! It swirls brushes in soapy water until leftover makeup, dead skin cells, dirt, and debris are gone, and then spins the brush until it's dry.

    17. A germaphobe-approved smartphone sanitizer — it'll simultaneously sanitize *and* charge their phone so they can forget about trying to wipe down every crevice with different cleaners and anxiously wondering if it'll mess up their screen or seep into the headphone jack. Now they can just set their phone in this case, and the UV light will zap 99.99% of the uninvited germs clinging to their phone while the USB port gets them back to fully charged.

    18. An illuminated doodle pillowcase — they can use any light source (or the included light pen) to draw on the cartoon cloud or heart, and their scribble will glow for five minutes or longer before gradually fading to make room for their next creation!

    19. A rechargeable desk lamp with a built in pen holder *and* phone rest that'll take their desktop to the next level.

    Promising review: "I love this desk light!! It's one of my favorite purchases I have made in a long time! It is working exactly the way it said it was supposed to. I love that it has three different light settings and that you can change it to a yellow glow. It is lightweight and super bright when needed. I do nails as a hobby and wish I bought it sooner. I am extremely pleased with this light and would give a 10-star rating if it went that high! I will be ordering two more. I would suggest this for anyone that is looking for a light for reading in bed or for a desk lamp. You won't be disappointed!!" —Teresa

    20. An interactive magic cat ball if their feline friend never gives them a moment of peace. This smart toy will move around randomly, automatically change direction after colliding with something, and even has auto-shutoff after 30 minutes so their cat doesn't lose interest.

    Promising review: “My cat is lazy, and a bit overweight. I wanted to find a toy that would encourage her to run around the house and exercise, and this does just that. At first she was a little hesitant to play, but after watching it zoom around the house for a while she got the hang of it and now 'hunts' it. She will chase this toy all over the house with ease. This little toy never gets caught or stuck on anything. The battery lasts forever and doesn't take too long to charge either. It's a great toy for a picky cat.” —Amber Mobley

    Promising review: "I cannot say enough good things about this little portable charger. It isn’t bulky like other brick ones, doesn’t require a charging cable, charges so fast, is light as a feather, and is so easy to bring anywhere." —slkeane

    23. Some color-changing, self-adhesive LED light strips that make it easy to change the vibe of the room with their mood. They can switch the color and dim the lights via remote control. Plus, the strips are easy to cut and link together to get the size just right for their space.

    Promising review: "These lights are absolutely stunning! There are so many settings on the remote to attend to anyone’s needs! The lights can flicker, dim, become a disco room, and can also stay on one color of you’d like! My favorite thing is you can dim the light or you can make them brighter! 😍 very easy to install and very worth the money!" —Brittney

    Check out what BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord has to say about it:

    "People also swear by this for camping! It comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this was SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! I'm a big weenie about fire (LOL, self-preservation) so I've always stuck to extended arm gas lighters, but this is much better for the environment (plus cuter), so I feel a lot better about using it."

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in four colors).

    26. A rechargeable LED dog collar for anyone with a dark-colored dog that just loves to disappear into the night.

    27. A Chef IQ smart–pressure cooker they'll wanna use every time it's their turn to make dinner. They can connect it to their phone via the Chef IQ app to control and monitor the settings and discover guided recipes that'll send precise parameters straight to the cooker. It does most of the work, using a built-in scale, smartsensors, auto pressure release, 1,000+ presets, and more to make cooking a breeze!

    28. A pair of horizontal prism glasses ingeniously designed so they can comfortably recline without struggling to watch TV, read, or use their devices.

    Promising review: "These are great. A few years ago I bought a pair from a different company, and they were very heavy and hurt to wear. These glasses are MUCH lighter weight and don't smash my nose when I try to sit up. Five stars. They block all lights behind you when wearing these; the light reflects into the glasses." —customer

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with next day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Get them from Amazon for $17.99.

    29. A color-changing shower head to take their showering experience to the next level. It's super easy to install and is powered by running water so there's no need for batteries.

    30. A digital touchscreen photo frame — it connects to a unique email account so that any images sent to the email will show up on the screen. It's a fun way to connect with family and friends and it just might replace a group chat or two.

    It has 8 GB of storage, which is enough for 8,000+ photos!

    Promising review: "Fabulous! We moved to the US 10 years ago, so connection with family back home is vital. We bought this for my 86-year-old mother-in-law in the UK last Christmas, so that we could share moments with her across the miles. The whole family has embraced it and now she sees all those special photos. It is easy to use - she doesn’t have to do anything." —Anne-Marie W.

    Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon’s must-have TikTok videos and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn’t interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse and this technology has helped me get through the night easily👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" —Amazon Customer
