During the holidays, it’s easy to shop for things you honestly don’t need. But now is actually the prime time to make worthwhile purchases on items that you’ll use constantly. If you’re unsure of where to start, this guide features six items you’ll likely use every single day.
From a sturdy, beautiful and affordable gooseneck electric kettle that Target shoppers absolutely love to a sleek and compact space heater that emits just the right amount of heat, these products will come in handy. And, best of all, you won’t feel guilty after buying them.
Take a look at the six best tech items you need — and will actually use every day — below.
This best-selling Bodum Gooseneck Electric Water Kettle will come in handy for your morning cups of tea or coffee. While standard bulkier electric kettles get the job done, gooseneck options are much sleeker, more compact and functional. In fact, the gooseneck spout gives you the perfect pour without those annoying splashes.
Investing in a quality soundbar is the secret to instantly upgrading your home theater setup — and it doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg. VIZIO is the leading soundbar brand in America, and its 2.0 Home Theater Soundbar With DTS:X is the perfect option for those who want a quality product while sticking to a strict budget.
Whether you’re binging a new show on Netflix or getting into a good movie, this soundbar is the perfect accessory to give you that movie theater experience at home. As a bonus, it’s also Bluetooth and voice assistant compatible and comes with a remote control.
The Apple TV streaming device is arguably one of the best on the market (if not the absolute best). Not only is it sleek and well designed, but it also comes with one of the most user-friendly interfaces of the bunch — think of iOS, but much grander.
Right now, the best-selling Amazon-recommended 2021 Apple TV HD is on sale for $139.95. You’ll surely use this every day to watch your favorite shows and movies from apps that are all available from the App Store, like YouTube TV, Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Disney+ and more.
If you’re a smartphone owner, investing in a wireless charger is a must. It makes charging your device so much easier and is much less time-consuming.
There seem to be a million and one wireless charging pads on the market, making it almost impossible to find one that works well and doesn’t break the bank. But over 130,000 shoppers say this one from Yootech is one of the best. Also, you won’t have to wait forever for your device to finish charging, as it features fast-charge technology.
The Yootech wireless charger is also compatible with the entire new iPhone 13 lineup and all Android wireless charging-enabled devices.
The Ring Doorbell is arguably one of the best-selling home tech gadgets of all time. Adding an extra layer of convenience and security to your home or apartment, this doorbell connects remotely to your smartphone and shows you who’s outside without you having to open your door.
With over 70,000 reviews on Amazon, it is, by far, one of the most trusted and widely used tech gadgets to date.
It’s officially time to crank out that space heater, but gone are the days of bulky, noisy and unreliable machines. The Dreo Oscillating Ceramic Space Heater is the perfect size for small to medium-sized rooms and is both compact and safe.
It also features a thermostat with four modes and a 12-hour timer, and it’s safe to use on the floor or a tabletop. Best of all, though, it’s extremely quiet, so you won’t be distracted if you’re using it while working from home or watching a movie. This one’s definitely a fall and winter must-have.

The Game Boy Color was released in 1998, a few years before the earliest and crudest smartphones had hit the market. Back then, the internet was still fairly new and the idea of carrying around a single device that could email people, search the web, send photos and stream live videos was years and years away. But if a canceled Game Boy Color accessory, the PageBoy, had seen the light of day, you might have been doing all that alongside Mario via a single add-on.
