Bluetooth Beanie

Combining style and technology – the Bluetooth beanie is a super cool holiday present. With a Bluetooth beanie, the person will be able to listen to their favorite music while working or playing outdoors in the winter. These beanies have Bluetooth headphones built into the fabric so connecting to the smartphone and listening to music, podcasts, or a phone call is super convenient with these.

Bluetooth beanies are available in many different colors and styles, ensuring that you find the right hat to match the style of your loved ones.

Mobile device case with ultraviolet light sanitizer

Still bearing the impact of Covid-19, can we be any more careful?

Well, Shaul says yes and so does his patented invention of a Mobile device case with ultraviolet light sanitizer!

Granted in 2018, the patent (US20170080251A1) has been commercialized for the best.

As per the patent – the device has a protective case for mobile electronics. The case emits electromagnetic radiation in the range of UV-C light for sanitizing contaminated surfaces. The case also includes additional LEDs that emit light at wavelengths known to have a therapeutic effect such as a blue light for treating the seasonal affective disorder. 

This seems like a perfect gift for a germophobe friend or everyone, considering the pandemic. Don’t you agree?

3D Doodler: 3D Printing Pen

Turning your imagination to reality isn’t so difficult now – thanks to a 3D Printing pen. The 3D Doodler works by extruding heated plastic that cools almost instantly into a solid, stable structure, allowing for the free-hand creation of three-dimensional objects. 

This means one can create anything from colorful spectacle frames to a replica of the Eiffel tower. Basically, anything you want, given a steady hand and some concentration. 2D art is so 19th century. Gift your creative friends and family this amazing pen, so that they could lift their imagination off the page.

The best gift for anyone who loves to doodle – Available for purchase here.

Bluetooth Sleeping Eye Mask 

Another Bluetooth device in the list- yes that settles I am in love with music and I can’t deny it. 

This next device can make a great gift for someone who is a music lover or maybe just finds it difficult to sleep without music. Also, sometimes wearing a pair of headphones or earbuds is a great way to block the noise out that may hamper your sleep, but headphones and earbuds can fall off easily during the night.

Eye-mask headphones solve this problem in one of the most ingenious ways I’ve seen. A combination of headphones with an eye mask, not block out extraneous noise, they also block out light. 

Harvest Elite  

As we adopt our latest quarantine hobbies, many are trying their hands at gardening— a hobby that fits our lifestyle, whether it’s in a landless city apartment or a suburban home with an outdoor acre or more. For someone who wants to become a plant parent minus all the mud work- this patented smart planter is a tech solution that self-waters and doesn’t need soil! 

The patent (US20060272210A1) was assigned to Aerogrow International, Inc. in 2013.

The AeroGarden website says, “Most plants germinate within 7-14 days, are ready for harvesting in 4-6 weeks, and will keep producing continuous harvests for up to 6 months and longer.”

Your newly green-thumbed friends will never stop raving about this gift. Order this smart gardening solution from here.

Inflatable Gift Wrap

So far we have talked only ’bout various holiday/new year gifting options. But you also need a gift wrap and what if you could make even the wrap different? Interesting right?

I came across this intriguing inflatable gift wrap.

The patent invention (US7931402B1) was published in 2011. It describes an inflatable container formed in the shape of a cake, with a door on one side through which a gift is placed inside the container. Interesting isn’t it?

Since then the gift wrap is available in different forms with texts and shapes based on the occasion. I am for sure getting my hands on this.
