Amazon Echo Show 5
$34.99, originally $84.99 on Amazon
The Amazon Echo Show was my teen daughter’s favorite gift last year and she still uses it nearly every night to stream Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. When a gift is still being used after a year and not stuffed in a closet, you know you have a winner!
The Second-Generation includes a 2 MP camera for video calling and excellent sound quality. Plus, can we talk about that trendy Deep Sea Blue color?
Enabot Ebo Air Home Security Pet Camera
$299 On Amazon
Are you looking to keep an eye on your home while you’re away? The Enabot EBO Air Home Security Pet Camera rolls around your home making a charming “Eboooo…” noise while he (or she, or it, or they?) does it. We aren’t sure what to call the little dude around our house, but we love it. One of our cats has also befriended the bot. She seeks him out at his charging station and bats at the silicone feather on his head until we bring him out to play.
Apart from being a fun, albeit expensive, cat toy, the Enabot EBO has a ton of home security features. Using the smartphone app you can check in around your home through the built-in camera, use two-way to talk to speaker, and control the robots direction. You can also take screen captures to create the cutest cat pics you’ll ever find. EBO has a 118-degree viewing angle and night vision capabilities, making him a pretty handy little device.

The bone conduction technology provides great sound quality while leaving your eardrums open to hear external sounds.
Sturdy and comfortable, these provide eight hours of music and calls before needing to be recharged. You can also use the 10-minute quick charge feature to power up your headphones for an extra two hours of listening.
Ninja CREAMi Ice Cream Maker
$184.99 on Amazon, originally $199
One of the season’s hottest kitchen appliances, the Ninja CREAMi ice cream maker is a fun new way to make ice cream, gelato, shakes and smoothies at home.
You might not think of home-made ice cream as part of the latest health craze, but plenty of people are using the Ninja CREAMi ice cream maker to make dairy-free or sugar-free treats to meet their dietary needs.
We test drove one in my family’s keto-friendly kitchen, using a blend of heavy cream and almond milk plus monk fruit as sweetener and the chocolate chip ice cream was a hit with the whole family. Additionally, we’re looking forward to many years of sweet treats, since Ninja appliances are built to last.
OCOOPA Rechargeable Handwarmer with USB
$32.99 on Amazon
If you’re looking for a gift for sports fans, soccer moms, or anyone who works outdoors, the OCOOPA rechargeable handwarmer is the perfect last-minute gift idea.
It provides heat for your hands for up to 15 hours, with three temperatures to keep your hands cozy with or without gloves. The 10,000mAH battery inside is easily recharged and powers the handwarmer itself, or another device like a smartphone.
House of Marley Stir It UP Wireless Turntable
$229, originally $249 on Amazon
Audiophiles, DJs and teens who want to collect the Taylor Swift Midnights collection on vinyl will love this wireless turntable. When my 14-year-old put a turntable on her last-minute Christmas list (you know, the one the kids share after you’re done shopping, which includes nothing you already bought!) I knew where to go!
The Stir It Up Wireless turntable uses a modular Audio-Technica cartridge and built-in preamp for high quality sound. You can connect it to Bluetooth speakers or earbuds to play 33 or 45 RMP records. The turntable is eco-friendly, made from bamboo and recycled components.
House of Marley Redemption ANC 2 Wireless Earbuds
$145 on Amazon
Pair your House of Marley turntable with the House of Marley Redemption ANC 2 wireless earbuds for excellent sound. With a choice of noise cancelation or an ambient mode, you can choose from an immersive listening experience or let in outside sounds for safety. The earbuds provide six hours of audio on a single charge and the case provides three additional charges Quick-charging offers an additional two hours of listening in just 15-minutes as well.
The earbuds are made from sustainable materials and sold in 100% recyclable packaging, making this a gift you can feel good about giving. My husband snagged these before I could put them under the tree and loves the sound quality and quick-charging capabilities.
SITKA Gear Women’s Hunting Hoodie
$199 on Amazon
This five-star rated fleece hoodie is super comfortable and ideal for hunting, camping, winter sports, or just everyday wear for women (like me) who are always cold. It's super-warm but also slim to fit comfortably under a winter coat or wear on its own. The flip-over hand mitts and integrated thumb hole are both warm and convenient.
Amazon reviewers call it “warm and wind resistant,” “on fleek,” and stated that it is “extremely warm, but it doesn’t cause sweating.” I usually wear a size small but sized up to medium for a less form-fitting look.
Fitbit Versa 4
$159, originally $229 on Amazon
Fitbits were one of the hottest sellers during cyber-weekend. Fortunately, the sales are still going on, making a new Fitbit the perfect last-minute gift. The Versa 4 is the newest model smartwatch for 2022, offering a built-in GPS and workout intensity map, a Daily Readiness Score, Stress Management and Sleep scores, and a host of other features to help you track your health and fitness.
Ember Mug
$149 at Amazon
How many times have you poured your morning coffee, gotten involved in a task at work, and left your coffee on your desk to get cold? For me, this was my daily routine. Then I got an Ember temperature control mug. Now I can enjoy my first cup of piping hot coffee at noon if that’s how my day is going.
Ember says that it keeps your beverage hot for up to 1.5 hours with the 10 ounce mug, but I’ve found it maintains a drinkable temperature for a while after that, especially if you drink it black like I do.
Essentially it's a smart mug that allows you to set an exact drinking temperature through your smartphone. Your phone will alert you when your beverage is at the ideal temperature. Plus, your coffee tastes the same even after an hour or more—it never tastes burnt.
