With the Renpho smart jump rope, your fitness friends and family can track all their jump roping, and it can also help them reach their fitness goals. Connect it to the app (iOS and Android) to track reps, calories burned and the duration of your workout. An LCD screen on the handle lets you read your skip time and total number of skips even when you aren’t using the app.

This wall-crawling gecko is a hit with both kids and adults. Use the remote from up to 25 feet away to make the delightfully creepy lizard scale walls and flat surfaces or do spin tricks. CNET’s Bridget Carey says it’s her favorite indoor toy for 2024, “both as a mom and as someone who delights in making my co-workers squirm.”

When temperatures drop, this Bluetooth beanie hat will be a lifesaver for those you know who are always on their phone or listening to music. Whether they’re going for a run, commuting to work or on vacation in a cold climate, the hat will keep not only their head warm, but their hands, too. Plus, it’s unisex and comes in a variety of colors.

This silicone popcorn maker not only comes with handles (which means no more burning your fingers on a glass one), but it also comes in a wide variety of fun colors. It’s easy to use, and it’s collapsible for convenient storage.

An AirTag would make a great gift for any Apple fan in your life, especially those who tend to lose track of where they put things. These little item trackers can be slipped into luggage, backpacks and wallets or attached to keys, bikes and more. (Here are some other creative ways to use AirTags.)

No one likes a warm beer or seltzer, right? BrüMate has a whole line of insulated koozies that are designed to keep your favorite beverages colder longer, so you don’t need to rush through drinking them or risk them getting warm. You can find ones that work for slim cans (like White Claw and Bud Light), bottles, mixed drinks, pint cans and more.

Who doesn’t need a durable travel mug that comes from a renowned brand in a wide array of fun colors and sizes? The 20-ounce Rambler mugs are vacuum insulated and double-walled and also have a MagSlider lid for when you want to take a sip of your hot (or cold) beverage. Plus, the Yeti Rambler also made our list of best travel coffee mugs, so that’s something to sip on.

Gift the artist in your life a set of these premium colored pencils. Great for school, or just for doodling.

Whether you know someone who just moved into a new home or have some friends who are always hosting parties, a charcuterie platter is a great gift. This one has slots for crackers and nuts and an area for the fruit and cheese. It also comes with four little stainless steel knives that hide away when they aren’t in use.

Still have that relative who hasn’t signed up for Netflix because they don’t have any way to watch it on their TV? Or maybe their smart TV interface is so bad that they want to throw their remote at it — we get it. Gift them this. The Roku Express 4K Plus made our pick for best streaming device overall, and for good reason. It has a large library of apps and a friendly interface that’s easy to navigate. In fact, your giftee can simply ask the remote to find the shows or movies they want.

This French press is not only eye-catching with its sleek glass carafe and polished stainless steel, but it’s also a CNET best French press pick. It earned that title for brewing strong, richly flavored coffee. Plus, it comes in an array of colors, from black to copper to gold.

This is a great game for all ages (even younger players). Each player’s monster (like Godzilla or King Kong) tries to gain control of Tokyo through dice rolling and a whole lot of high-jinks. It’s a high-paced hilarious game that’s fun for everyone. Plus, it made our pick for CNET’s best family game overall.

This one is for the cookie lovers. With this soft flannel blanket, they can envelope themselves in a gigantic chocolate chip cookie that looks good enough to eat. The only problem is it may make them crave cookies so perhaps include a mix when gifting. If they’re more a savory type of person, the blanket also comes as a pizza and tamale. And if the person tends to run cold in general, check out our picks for the best gifts for sleeping cozy.

For a one-of-a-kind gift, why not turn your favorite person or bestie into a Funko Pop figurine? It takes less than 5 minutes to do so and prices start at $30. Creating a Funko Pop character is so easy and fun that after you might want one, too.

Stanley Tumblers are all over the internet — and are a bit of a hit among teens, too — but does that mean they’re as legit and functional as they sound? We respond with a resounding yes. And the all-new Holiday Quencher just came out, available in fun Gilded Sugar, Pomegranate and Celadon colors.

Overall, Stanley tumblers are not only nice to look at, but do their job pretty darn well — and the built-in straw and handle are also nice touches. CNET’s Abrar Al-Heeti recently became a Stanley Tumbler convert, after not being sure if she should give in to all the hype. But once she did, it’s now become her go-to water bottle — and it’ll probably become your giftee’s as well. And if you’re in need of more teen gifts, we have plenty of ideas.

There are two types of people in the world — those who can easily open a bottle of wine and those who have a bit more trouble. If your gift recipient falls into the latter category, this electric wine opener is for them. CNET’s Macy Meyer loves the Rabbit Electric Wine Opener because of how easy it is to use. “I mean, all you really do is fit the electric corkscrew onto the top of your wine bottle, hold down the lower button until it stops making a noise, then you simply hold down the upper button until it again stops making noise and voila!” Plus, one charge can open more than 30 bottles of wine. Speaking of which, you can always add some additional wine gifts to this present or enroll them in a wine club so they can get a lot of practice using their new Rabbit opener.

This nifty 3D printing pen is one of our favorite STEM toys for kids. The 3Doodler Start Plus pen lets kids ages 6 and up create anything they could possibly imagine out of plastic filaments. Not only is it totally fun to play with (adults will enjoy trying it out, too), but it also introduces young minds to the world of 3D printing.

This tan leather wallet has a classic look and a minimalistic design with enough room for eight cards. It has three card slots as well as a large inner pocket. And because it’s so thin, it won’t bulge out of someone’s pocket. 

For your friend, family member or coworker who is into beer — and also DIY — this IPA beer brewing kit will be a hit.

And if your friend is not a DIY person, you can always check out our pick for the best beer subscription boxes.
