Samsung T5 Portable SSD
These day everyone could do with a little more storage space for their computers to hold all your photos, movies, music, whatever. Get your friends and family the best of the best. The Samsung T5 SSD is just that. This is the latest generation in Solid State technology, meaning no more noisy hard drive that risks losing all your data if you bump into it. This guy is shock resistant, and it is small – a little less than 2 ounces.

Hiku Shopping Button
If I had to think of a product I’ve bought recently that has most improved my life, the Hiku Shopping Button would be one of the first to come to mind. We all know how annoying it is to do a mental checklist of the items you need at the grocery store, write them down, and then go find them. This solves that problem. Use the Hiku to scan the item you want to remember to buy, and it will start making a list for you. Then when it’s time to go to the store, you have everything you scanned neatly organized. The Hiku recognizes for voice to make to add items to the list with your voice, it sticks to your fridge with a magnet, and it connects to any online store to make shopping even easier. I wish I had one of these years ago.
Tile Mate and Tile Slim Pack
The Tile Mate and Slim combo packs makes the perfect gift, or perfect stocking stuffer. Not only for forgetful people, but just about anyone would benefit from having the Tile. In the combo pack you get two Tile Slims, and two Tile Mate. That way you can have one in your wallet, one in your laptop back, one on your keys, just about anything you want to keep track of! You pair them with the Tile app, and if you ever misplace your items, you just ping it on the app and the Tile beeps and the app shows you were the item is on a map. How smart is that?
