Feeling like splurging on your audiophile? This Marshall Kilburn Speaker ($299) is the ultimate gift for any music junkie.
It’s vintage-inspired but updated for the 21st century. The
speaker connects via Bluetooth, ready to pump the jams.
If he’s always wanted a product like a hoverboard,
the MonoRover R2 ($199, originally $599) is what he
needs. It moves based on ankle and feet gestures and
almost looks like something from Back to the Future II.
Whether he’s an adventurer or just slightly clumsy, the
Juice Pack H2PRO ($130) for the iPhone 6s and 6 is
perfect for him. It doubles as both a waterproof case and
an extra battery.
Don’t you hate fumbling for bedside cables? Native
Union’s Night Cable ($40 for iPhone lightning or Android
micro USB) fixes that with its weighted knot that can anchor the cable to any flat surface. The cable is also over
nine feet long, so there’s no place it can’t reach. Plus, its
retro styling means that he’ll be happy to leave the Night
cable out on display.
R2 units are the ultimate helpers, and this R2D2 car charger ($30) is no exception. The charger
sits in a cup holder and plugs into a cigarette lighter. It can charge up to two USB devices at once,
and R2’s dome even rotates and lights up. When
power is connected, the bot will whistle and beep.
If a FitBit doesn’t suit his needs, maybe the Samsung
Gear Fit2 ($180) will. This is more than a fitness tracker,
as it also alerts you of any notifications on your phone.
Waking up to an alarm is so 2015. Instead, wake
up to the smells of a croissant or coffee with Sensorwake ($109, preorder). It’s an alarm clock
that wakes you with seven different scents.
Yes, the SuperStar BackFloat Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker ($100, originally $170) floats — perfect for when he’s lounging in the pool. The incredible sound can be connected via Bluetooth, so he
won’t miss any calls while sitting back on vacation. Not planning to be by a pool anytime soon?
