40 Gadgets And Gizmos That'll Make You Feel Like You're Living In The Future
A solar-powered bird feeder with a built-in AI-powered camera that'll show you a live video of your new feathered friends as they snack away and promptly tell you what kind of species they are! Your productivity is about to go waaaaay down — but you'll learn so much about birds (which is more important than getting your laundry done, right?)
A portable HP photo printer that'll make you the most popular person at any party — it can connect to multiple devices, so your friends can easily print their pics while you're out having a good time. The printed photos have sticky backings that make them easy to display (or place around your pal's house as a prank 😉).
An alarm clock on wheels you'll quickly develop a complicated relationship with — it'll roll around, jump, shake, make robotic sounds and essentially just annoy you until you *finally* have to get out of bed, tackle it, and start your day.
A Bluetooth scrolling remote that'll take your laziness trait to the next level but leave you feeling smug at the same time for working smarter, not harder. You can set this bad boy up, get under your covers, and enjoy some seriously cozy, hands-free scrolling.
A Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced parents will be able to rely on to help them make their baby a bottle in a flash — which is *much* appreciated when they're screaming their head off because they've decided they're hungry. I've literally told every single parent or parent-to-be in my life that THIS machine is what's keeping me going — it is the light of my life (next to my kids, of course).
And a Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro, because why not add another gadget into the mix? This magical machine washes, sterilizes, AND dries bottles, breast pump parts, and other accessories with natural steam. Take it from someone who genuinely knows — this will save you SO much time so you can do one of the other million things on your to-do list instead of hangin' out with a bottle brush.
A compact Kindle for any lit lover with such a long TBR list that your nightstand simply can't contain it anymore — this option will let you continue to expand your shelf virtually and take your book on-the-go without taking up too much precious space in your bag that's already filled the brim with old receipts, hand sanitizer, mints, an old granola bar, the list goes on.
A self-adhesive SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher you'll likely want to buy for every single switch in your home (apologies) as you'll be able to use it to transform *any* device into a smart one! Once you set it up, you'll be able to use Google, Alexa, or an app on your phone to control it. Technology, man.
A toothbrush holder and dispenser, because mornings are hard enough to cope with so you might as well mount this bad boy and let it dispense your toothpaste for you. It's the little things!
A high-tech trash can you'll probably cry tears of joy over if you hate germs, because now you'll never have to physically touch the garbage can again.
A reusable smartnotebook to seamlessly combine your love of handwritten notes with the ease of taking them digitally (here's to you, Rocketbook app!). As you write in this seemingly magical notebook your notes will *also* be recorded in the app. Is it 2025 or 3025?
An undetectable laptop mouse jiggler that'll slide right into a USB port so you can sneak away to catch your breath and grab a coffee without anyone wondering why you've been offline for so long.
An electric potato peeler to transform spuds into mashed potatoes at record speed. If for some bizarre reason you *don't* want potatoes with every meal, it'll also work on other fruits 'n' veggies like like apples and kiwis.
Motorized custom shades that'll help you make even the sunniest of days into cozy ones fit for movie marathons — all you'll have to do is click your remote or ask Alexa or Google to lower them for you!
A chic Aura picture frame with the ability to display a seemingly endless number of photos that can be added by everyone in your family thanks to its easy-to-use app! Send everyone in your life an invite and grant them the ability to upload pics to your frame (if you dare).
A robotic vacuum, because you and I both know you don't want to spend a weekend morning trying to conquer all of the pet hair, debris, and other unexplainable messes that have found their way into your home. Kick your feet up, put on a podcast, and let this lil' gadget do its thing.
A dazzling candle warmer with a lampshade reminiscent of a high-end crystal chandelier you'd likely see in the middle of a ballroom on Bridgerton. More importantly, you won't need to keep a stash of matches on hand *and* your fave candle will last basically forever since it won't actually be burning down when you pair it with this gadget.
Or a cleverly designed rechargeable electric candle lighter with a flexible neck to light every candle in your house to create the *perfect* ambiance without concern you'll run out of lighter fluid.
A bagless, touchless stationary vacuum that'll fantastically suck up all the dust and debris you sweep its way — Rosie from The Jetsons is shaking!!!
An Emeril Lagasse dual zone air fryer over combo with precise temperature for both sides so you can cook two very different items at once (and in two different ways). It has the capability to air fry, bake, cook pizza, reheat, dehydrate, roast, broil, grill, toast, keep items warm, slow cook, and can be used as a rotisserie. Bam! Emeril is still killin' it!
A heated eye massager complete with five different massage modes and Bluetooth music so you can fully indulge and relax while relieving pain from eye strain and headaches.
An AirFly Pro wireless transmitter that'll let you use your Bluetooth headphones to watch the big game you were grumpy about having to miss because you'd be in-flight during kickoff.
A sunrise alarm clock to wake you up so pleasantly you'll forget for a second that you're in your own room and likely running late for work instead of naturally rising with the sun at a beachside resort.
A PhoneSoap UV sanitizer you can toss your phone into for a quick 10 minutes after you get home to get rid of the grime that's surely lurking everywhere we go.
A Samsung TV that'll disguise itself as an elegant picture frame when it's not in use so you can *finally* live out your dream of treating your home like a museum. Are we at the Louvre or your one-bedroom apartment? I can barely tell the difference!
An electric waterproof bubble massage mat complete with a built-in heater and an aroma clip for essential oil aromatherapy. Just imagine how wonderful this will feel after a long workout or a long day.
A Nanit monitor and wall mount to help you keep a watchful eye on your babe while they sleep — you can also easily see stats on how long they've been asleep or if they're standing and not-so-patiently waiting for you to come scoop 'em up.
A Baby Shusher because even though it may seem silly to buy a gadget that literally makes a sound you can make on your own for free, you'll be happy to have it come 2 a.m. when you're exhausted and *really* not in the mood to continue 'shhh'ing repeatedly.
And a Munchkin UV-sterilizing diaper pail you'll be SO happy you purchased. The UV light is said to kill staph, E. coli and klebsiella, and odor-causing bacteria.
A splurge-worthy Dyson Airstrait that'll change the way you straighten your hair forever — it uses directional air flow (no metal plates!) to both dry and straighten your hair in minutes. Seriously, it only took me 10 minutes to do my hair directly from the shower!
Or a rotating Beachwaver curling iron featuring the ability to basically curl your hair for you while you stand around watching YouTube videos. Technology these days, man.
A Philips compact pasta maker for anyone who is a pasta snob and prefers it freshly made but is simply sick and tired of going out for dinner. Toss your ingredients into the machine and let it prep Sunday dinner for ya. 🍝
A Furbo camera that's an absolute must-have for pet parents — you'll be able to check on Fido at any time and will even receive push notifications when your pup is barking so you can talk to them through the app to calm them and even toss them a treat!
A stuffed waffle maker you can count on to make all of your brunch dreams come true — fill 'em with cream cheese, strawberries, chicken, or anything else your heart desires!
A thin bar light to brighten your gaming area so you can happily continue to play hours and hours (AND HOURS) of World of Warcraft without your partner asking, "are you still sitting in the dark?"
A Zojirushi Bread Maker that'll do all the hard work for you (kneading, timing, etc) and leave you with an absolutely divine loaf of bread you'd expect to pick up at a farmer's market.
A Sonos Move 2 portable Bluetooth speaker made from water-resistant polycarbonate material so you can pop it outside when your friends come over to hang out, blast some Charli XCX, then bring it back indoors and place it on its charging dock for safekeeping. It has Wi-Fi capabilities built right into it, so you can seamlessly cosplay as a DJ using your phone or tablet.
A seriously impressive xBloom coffee machine bundle that'll transform you into a barista seemingly overnight — this spectacular machine lets you use whole beans in a pod-like system to craft cafe-quality pour-over drinks from your home. This is a seriously next-level machine that is meticulously calibrated (but does so all on its own).
And a Dyson WashG1 wet cleaner — one of their latest innovations that'll be an investment worth making. It magically glides across hard floors and thoroughly removes debris, stains, hair (!!!) and other liquids with just water (though you can add detergent if you'd like). You'll be amazed to see how dirty the water becomes in the tank while you clean!

Don't throw your old CDs away — here's 5 things to do with those silver discs instead
I love my CDs. They sit on my shelf so that everyone knows how much I like legacy media, and then sometimes they get pulled down and slid into a disc tray so I can enjoy listening to something with moving parts. But not everyone feels the same way. With the ever-growing user bases of the best music streaming services, there are evidently a bunch of people who no longer have the means to play their old CD collections. But HOLD! Before you place those lovely discs into the trash, here are a couple of ways you can still use them — and allow me an appeal to your better judgment along the way. This might seem like sacrilege (there's part of me that agrees), but this is a fun way to use some of your favorite albums that you don't listen to anymore. There are a couple of different ways to do it, but I like this one, which puts the disc next to the CD cover art for a nice effect. I've actually done this for a few friends with their favorite albums as great gifts for birthdays and the holidays that are a bit more interesting than gift cards and the like. For an even better look go and get it signed the next time you head to a gig — that's a way to really show off how much you like a band and their music. The CD and the case click in side by side here so that you can see the two of them side by side. It's a cool display piece, especially if you can get it signed by the artist at hand. This one hurts. Properly, properly hurts. But if you're not going to listen to them and they were already going in the trash, then there's no harm done, right? Pop them on the table and rest your drinks on them. Fun, themed coasters that you don't need to go to the shop for. You'll want to find some way to fill the hole so that they can really fulfil their new role, mind you. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Side note: Taking this picture, no matter how old the CD is, physically caused me pain. I'm told that birds don't like shiny things. I'm also told that gardeners trying to grow plants aren't the biggest fans of birds flying around and pecking at their crop. CDs have a shiny side — hang them around and scare off those pesky critters and their penchant for strawberries. Look, I can't lie, this list is really starting to take it out of me, can't we just... oh, no two more entries to go... Finally, a non-destructive one. See, you might not want your CDs, but there are many of us that do. Don't just toss your discs into the trash and forget about them — take them to your nearest Goodwill or Goodwill-alike and get them donated. Then they'll go on a shelf, so that collectors like me can come and buy them and put them in our collections where they'll get listened to. Did you know that modern CD players aren't all that expensive, and they'll even connect with your Bluetooth headphones so that you can use them without plugging them into anything? I tried out the Fiio DM13 a few months ago, and found a CD player with thoroughly modern touches. Why would you want to? Because CDs are cool. There's little more fun than clicking open a CD player lid or sliding a CD drawer and watching the disc disappear inside the player only for music to come out. They sound better than Spotify too, with much higher digital bit-rates than the green circle. Do they take up space? Yes. But I think it's worth it.

I just put Gemini's Veo 3 AI video generator to the test — 3 prompts that worked brilliantly (and 2 that flopped)
AI video generators are evolving fast, but I've always found them more amusing than useful. Most of the time, the clips collapse under scrutiny: characters move awkwardly, textures don't hold up, and the uncanny valley takes over. They're fun experiments, but rarely convincing. Google's Gemini Veo 3 made me rethink that stance. Unlike other tools, it isn't limited to text prompts — it can also expand still images into motion and even add soundtracks. To test Veo 3, I gave it a series of deliberately varied prompts, from whimsical to eerie. Some results surprised me with their polish and atmosphere, while others reminded me why AI video still has limits. If you want to try Veo 3 in Gemini for yourself, the process is simple: log in to Gemini and click Video in the prompt box. Here's three prompts I used that worked brilliantly — and two that flopped. For this prompt, I wanted to see how well Veo 3 could handle something grounded in realism: animals in motion. Ducks are a solid test subject because their features are quite complex, with their layered feathers, reflective water, and waddling. I used the following prompt: "Create a family of fluffy ducks walking along the river bank" and was pleasantly surprised with Veo 3's output. The ducks were instantly recognizable, with convincingly fluffy feathers. What really stood out, though, was the environment. The mud and grass along the pond's edge had a hyper-realistic texture, with subtle depth and variation you'd expect from real footage. Light refracted naturally across the water and even caught in the treetops, which was a really nice touch. The outlines of the ducks did soften at times and, at one point, a duckling seemed to appear out of nowhere. Yet despite those quirks, the scene as a whole felt polished, cohesive, and far more convincing than I expected. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. For the second test, I wanted to push Veo 3 toward the creepy and surreal. The idea was simple: "create a scary clown at a fun fair combing its hair and squirting cabbage juice at people." It's the kind of prompt that could easily fall into cartoonish parody if the AI struggled with tone. Instead, Veo 3 nailed it. The costuming and makeup looked strikingly real, right down to the unsettling facial expression that teetered between comic and sinister. And the vintage-style combs made the scene feel even more offbeat. That touch of specificity gave the video a strange authenticity. The only stumble came when the clown squirted the cabbage juice as the liquid didn't squirt out from the opening of the bottle. Oddly enough, I think that glitch worked in its favor, leaning into the chaotic, circus-like energy of the scene. The result was both hyperrealistic and surreal — exactly the balance I was hoping Veo 3 would strike. After recently watching "Alien Earth," I had extraterrestrials on the brain. So I wanted to see how Veo 3 would handle something more imaginative. I used this prompt: "Create a hyper realistic video of an alien stalking through a dark corridor on a spaceship towards the camera, and the camera should be from our point of view." The test here wasn't just about creature design but also how convincingly the AI could render an interior setting. The result genuinely floored me. The video played out like a movie trailer, with the alien sprinting straight at the camera before stopping inches away to snarl. Its tail swung with real weight, selling the illusion of momentum, and the ship's lighting created an atmospheric, metallic backdrop that felt authentically sci-fi. What impressed me most was the design itself. The creature looked like a mash-up of familiar icons — part xenomorph, part Doctor Who's Ood, with a touch of Predator in its humanoid-ish torso for good measure. For one of the tougher tests, I asked Veo 3 to "Give me a music video for a pop rock band performing on a stage in front of a crowd." The idea was to see how well it could capture not just realism, but performance energy. At first, it seemed promising. The pyrotechnics and staging looked quite convincing, and the overall framing had the right concert vibe. But things quickly unraveled. The lead singer's face literally changed mid-headbang before snapping back again — and because he was front and center, the glitch was impossible to ignore. The hands in the crowd looked blurry and janky, lacking the texture and detail that made earlier clips work so well. Even the audio, which Veo 3 automatically layers in, fell short. The backing track was fun, but the lyrics (and vocals for that matter) didn't align with the prompt provided. And, to make matters worse, the strobe lights stayed completely static. For the prompt, I wanted to try and create something more intimate and went with "Create a mother playing with her newborn baby at home, sat on the sofa." Compared with aliens and clowns, this should have been straightforward — a test of realism, warmth, and everyday detail. On first glance, the still image looked spot-on. Soft amber light filtered through the room, the mother's hair and clothing had believable texture, and the living room itself looked convincingly lived in. But as soon as the video played, the cracks showed. Both the mother's and baby's features blurred whenever they moved, breaking the illusion completely. The sound overlaid didn't help either. A piano track played over the clip, but it bled into the mother's dialogue. When she said oh my sweet little one, it should have been the emotional anchor of the scene. Instead, the competing music made it feel muddled and distracting. What might have been a tender, photorealistic moment ended up veering into the uncanny — proof that Veo 3 may still struggle when nuanced human emotion is the focus.
