For the child who loves to read
The Kindle Paperwhite Kids Essentials Bundle is the perfect gift for young bookworms.

Kindles are convenient, fun, and give you a lot of tools with which to curate your digital book collection. Commerce writer Janelle Randazza calls this Kindle Paperwhite bundle one of the best purchases she’s ever made.
Other devices can come with a lot of distractions, and a huge hardcover can be pretty intimidating for younger readers. But this streamlines things to help kids get straight to the joy of words on a page.
3. Made In Grill Press
We could all go for a good smash burger
The Made In Grill Press is an essential tool for making the perfect grilled sandwich or smash burger.
This stainless-steel press from Made In is perfect for making hot sandwiches, diner-style “smash burgers,” and breakfast foods on the grill.
It’s safe for any cooking temperatures (up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit), with plenty of height to keep your hand away from cooking surfaces, and it’s easy to clean. Jaime Carrillo, senior commerce writer here at Reviewed, loves it for making bacon and sausage, and says the leather handle looks great in person.

5. Spinn Coffee Maker
Heat up your morning with better coffee
The Spinn Coffee Maker makes a perfect gift for the coffee lover in your life.
Kitchen-and-cooking editor Monica Petrucci is a big believer in the Spinn Coffee Maker, which can brew all kinds of caffeinated drinks right at home. It’s got its own mobile app for remote control, it has a built-in grinder that adjusts automatically for the job at hand, and, best of all, it requires very little effort on the part of the user. But it delivers a great cup of coffee just the same.

Anyone will a garden, patio, or pool will adore these eco-friendly lanterns.
Jennifer Ernst Beaudry, managing editor of commerce at Reviewed, gives these hanging solar lanterns the highest recommendation. They’re lightweight and low maintenance, and they bring a “gorgeous splash” of light to any garden, patio, or pool area. And they’re solar-powered, so you don’t have to worry about your electrical bill.
10. Microsoft Xbox Wireless Headset
All your gaming audio in one seamless package
This is a must-have for multiplayer gaming on Xbox.
I use my Xbox Wireless Headset every day. Whether I’m recording a podcast, playing Halo to blow off steam after work, chatting with friends over Discord during the weekend, or just listening to my latest music playlist, it makes my life a lot easier.
This thing powers on the Xbox Series X remotely, and can stay connected via Bluetooth to all your devices—your MacBook, your Android phone, your PC. You can listen to Spotify, chat with your friends or coworkers on any device, and have your Xbox’s audio all coming through simultaneously. It even gives you various ways to control the mix across all those different sources.
If you want to hear more or a game or more of your friends, all you have to do is turn the knob; it also has a master volume control on the opposite side.
11. Nintendo Switch OLED
Here’s your ticket to endless family fun
Gamers of all ages and play styles love the Switch and its incredible catalog of games.
If you want to make your family’s holiday extra memorable, the Nintendo Switch OLED is a perfect gift for players of all ages. Introduce your little one to Super Mario Bros. for the first time, check out the hottest new indie games, or recapture some of your youth with classic NES, Super Nintendo, N64, and Game Boy emulation. The Switch is a versatile little machine, letting you game on your giant television set in the comfort of your living room or in two-player handheld mode while on the go.
And the games library is truly vast, despite what you might remember about some earlier Nintendo consoles. Some of my favorite games on the Switch are Super Mario 3D World, Mario Maker 2, Breath of the Wild, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Skyrim, Pokémon Sword, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Disney Illusion Island, and Night in the Woods.
12. Xbox Series X
The ultimate all-in-one entertainment destination
All the games, streaming apps, and social integration you could ask for from a single plug-and-play console.
Of everything I own, the Xbox Series X is the product I currently use the most. It’s great for streaming; watching 4K discs, Blu-rays, and DVDs; its library is loaded with useful apps like Spotify and YouTube. And of course it’s a great dedicated option for gaming.
Whether you’ve got a collection of old Xbox 360 games gathering dust or you want to check out new releases like Starfield, the Series X is the best plug-and-play solution on the market. You’ll miss out on PlayStation and Nintendo exclusives—that’s true of any of the three big consoles—but there’s so much working in Xbox’s favor, from the social systems to the eclectic games catalog.
My hard drive’s loaded with great stuff right now: Batman: Arkham Asylum, Call of Duty, Citizen Sleeper, Diablo, Morrowind, Skyrim, Fallout: New Vegas, GoldenEye, Halo, Mass Effect, Night in the Woods, No Man’s Sky, The Outer Worlds, Red Dead, Stardew Valley, Splinter Cell. And they’re all in one place.

If you listen to a lot of music throughout your day, these are an incredible pair of buds. Any other music lovers in your life will adore them, too.
14. Waterpik Aquarius Water Flosser
Good health starts with a clean mouth
The Waterpik Aquarius Water Flosser makes a great gift for anyone who hates flossing the old-fashioned way—in other words, most people.
This recommendation comes from executive editor Kate Ellsworth. If you’re looking to give the gift of flawless oral hygiene (and fresh breath!), the Waterpik Aquarius Water Flosser is one of those life-changing products the recipient will treasure for years to come. Old-fashioned string floss can get tedious, even painful, but the Waterpik Aquarius makes flossing a joyful, low-effort task. These tend to go on sale around the holidays, so keep your eye on Reviewed’s deals coverage next time you’re gift hunting.
15. Therabody Theragun
Can your massage therapist work this fast?
This is a great gift for anyone who needs a little self-care.
Commerce writer Janelle Randazza absolutely loves the Therabody Theragun, which does the work of a strong massage therapist in a fraction of the time. But don’t expect the same performance from just any massage gun; spring for this one. “This is one self-care device that is totally worth the price,” she says.
16. Ruggable Rugs and Bath Mats
Anyone’ll love these snazzy rugs, runners, and bath mats
Ruggable products make navigating your home into a luxurious experience.
Give the gift of luxury and comfort with Ruggable’s rugs, runners, and bath mats. “Everyone loves that you can throw them in the washing machine and have them be good as new,” says retail editor Nusrat Sultana. “But I also love how they feel under my feet.” They’re available in a wide variety of styles, sizes, and price points—but they all look incredible.
17. Ryobi 18-Volt ONE+ Super Charger Kit
Don’t fuss with a dead battery—grab this instead
Keep those extra batteries charged with this lifesaver.
Electric mowers and power tools are amazing, but they do tend to run out of juice a little quicker than we’d like. That’s where having a great set of rechargeable batteries makes life a lot easier. Our managing editor of commerce, Kasey Caminiti, is a huge fan of this Ryobi battery charger, which lets you charge as many as six Ryobi ONE+ batteries sequentially. (This kit comes with two 18-volt batteries.)
18. ThermoPro TP03 Digital Meat Thermometer
Think of it as a road map to the perfect barbecue
Here’s a gift for the family member who lives in front of the grill.
This digital meat thermometer from ThermoPro is another recommendation from Janelle Randazza, who says it’s easy to use, quick to read temps, and super accurate. It “will instantly make you a better cook,” she adds.
19. Brita 6-Cup Water Filter Pitcher
Save money and upgrade your ice water
Don’t settle for lackluster, lukewarm water.
This 6-cup pitcher from Brita is a favorite gift of deals writer Jon Winkler’s. Bottled water can cost you an arm and a leg, and tap water often needs at least some ice cubes to make for an appealing beverage. But a Brita filter pitcher gets you cold, clean water straight from your tap.
20. Garmin inReach Mini 2
Give ’em the gift that says: take a hike
The inReach Mini 2 is a great gift for anyone who loves to hike.
If you know someone who goes hiking regularly, the Garmin inReach Mini 2 would make a great gift option for them. “This mini Garmin is a lifesaver while hiking and camping,” staff writer Lily Hartman says. “It’s easy to text on it, the battery life is strong, and it gives me and my family peace of mind when I’m outside exploring.”

22. Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza
Who doesn’t love a great party game?
The Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza card game is a gift that brings the whole family together.
Managing editor Jen Beaudry adores this wacky, easy-to-learn card game. It’s appropriate for players of any age, and it can be played with three to eight players, so it’s versatile for most casual party settings. If you’re looking for something the whole family can enjoy together on New Year’s Eve or at the next birthday get-together, Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza is the ticket.
