Still scrambling for the perfect presents for everyone on your gift list? You’re not alone—most of us are! But don't worry; we've got you covered! Tech expert Jennifer Jolly joined Charlotte Today with some fantastic gift ideas to wow your loved ones.
SNAG A BIOSENSOR TO MAKE SENSE OF YOU:
We love Abbott Labs’ Lingo biosensor! It’s an over-the-counter continuous glucose monitor that you stick to the back of your arm and leave in place for two weeks. It sends real-time glucose readings straight to an app on your phone. The data it collects helps you understand how your body responds to food, exercise, sleep, and stress. Super useful and innovative.
Price: $49 for 14 days, $89 for a month
USE THE SMARTEST ROOMBA AROUND:
The Roomba Combo 10 Max with AutoWash Dock is here for you. It powerfully vacuums and mops your floors, taking hands-free cleaning to a whole new level. The dock automatically empties debris, refills and recharges the robot, washes and dries its mopping pad, and even self-cleans—so you don’t have to worry about maintaining it while it keeps your floors spotless. It also avoids obstacles, knows which areas get dirty the fastest, and focuses on the spots that need the most attention. Who doesn’t need a little more help around the house right now?!
Price: $999
KEEP WATCH WITH A VERY SMART CAMERA:
For anyone looking to boost home security, the Blink Mini 2 is an easy and affordable way to add some peace of mind. This nifty little camera packs a punch! You can use it indoors or outdoors, and we love its crisp HD video and color night vision. The wide-angle lens captures everything, and the two-way audio lets you chat with visitors through an app on your phone. The “smart person detection” feature is a game-changer for filtering out false alarms from passing cars or swaying trees—though you will need a subscription for that.
Price: $50
TURN YOUR FAMILY INTO THE SCOOBY CREW:
The Scooby-Doo Character Studio is such a fun way to personalize an iconic piece of nostalgia! It lets you create your own Scooby-Doo characters and put yourself or someone in your family front and center in solving the next big mystery. You can “Scoobify” your husband, your kids—even your dog. It’s fun, memorable, and totally unique!
Price: $14.99 – $59.99
MAKE YOURSELF THE MUSICIAN YOU’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE!
If you’ve always wanted to learn to play the piano, you’ll love the ROLI Piano M! This intuitive, smart keyboard is perfect for beginners. Use it with your tablet or smartphone, and let the light-up keys guide you as you learn. It comes with a comprehensive library of lessons and tutorials for popular and classical songs. The best part? You can make music anytime, anywhere, and turn practice into a game. How cool is that?
Price: ROLI Piano M, $249 + ROLI Learn subscription from $14.99 /month
