1. Say goodbye to sleep problems
Give the gift of better sleep. The Philips SmartSleep sleep and wakeup light simulates the sunrise or sunset, making a huge difference in the dead of winter. It’s totally customizable, with 25 brightness settings. It can also display the time and connect with your phone. That means you can stream music or radio shows. It’s everything you’d want in an alarm clock.
Promising review: “Bought this after reading a Runner’s World article about it – LOVE IT! I struggle to fall asleep at night and wake up every morning. I dread the alarm, hit snooze constantly, and always seem to be running late. This alarm is totally customizable and wakes me up when I need to be up, helps me fall asleep at night, and has a unique attractive appearance on my night stand. Best money spent on any sleep-related device!”
2. Got an artist in the family?
The Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic looks like an old-school film camera and is a little smarter than the Polaroid camera you used back in the day. It detects brightness and adjusts the flash and shutter speed and even has a macro lens for close photography. You can get it for under $120.
Promising review: “Love the design and the quality. Extremely high quality. I’ve had it now for 2 years and its still as good as when I took it out the box. Would recommend to anyone and also a great gift idea. I’ve had great memories with it and will continue to make great memories as well.”
