1. Dyson's powerful (and popular) hair dryer
It’ll blow you away.
When this hairdryer came out, it was all the rage—and reviewers agree that it still holds up to the hype. When we tested this model, which was the first hair dryer developed by Dyson, we found it to be both effective and sleek-looking.
Reviewers used this powerful Dyson hairdryer to cut down the time they spent on their morning routine, and with three speed settings and customizable features, you can adapt this hairdryer to do whatever you need for your hair type. Many hairstylists reviewed and recommended this hair dryer, and if that’s still not selling you, it also looks like a hairdryer the Jetsons might use.

2. LEGOs to help take your mind off of things
I’m about two seconds from purchasing this.
That's right—Best Buy sells LEGOS. This LEGO set is an excellent choice for creatives and is a great activity for engaging kids with something imaginative while they’re at home. It boasts 484 bricks in a variety of colors and sizes.

3. The coveted Instant Pot
The Instant Pot is one of the best pressure cookers you can buy.
You may not run to Best Buy for the latest kitchen appliances, but maybe you should. The tech giant carries the Instant Pot line, including one of our editors' favorites, the Instant Pot Smart WiFi 6-Quart Multi-Use Pressure Cooker. This model is one of the best pressure cookers we've tested—it can be controlled by your smartphone, it self-sanitizes, and it does an incredible job preparing foods in a short period of time.

4. A classic board game with a Star Wars theme
I call the Baby Yoda token.
Board games are always a great way to kill time for a few hours. You can't do better than the classics—Monopoly is a perfect game to eat up a few hours, and with an updated Star Wars theme based on the hit TV series The Mandalorian, it will keep everyone engaged. Reviewers loved giving this as a gift and recommended it for Star Wars fans.

5. A Mario Kart plush for when you need something to hug
We could all use a little comfort.
We all know and love Toad, right? Get your very own Nintendo plush, in either the Toad variety, or three other characters. They're large enough to serve as accent pillows, but loveable enough to standalone as new stuffed animals for your collection.
Reviewers loved how large and soft these plushes were and many gave them as gifts. Send it to a nerdy friend in need of some joy, or buy one for yourself.

6. An AeroGarden for growing herbs
The AeroGarden is perfect for those who want to grow herbs in the kitchen.
Is there anything better than garnishing your meal with fresh herbs? I'd say growing your own herbs in your kitchen could be better—especially if you pick up an AeroGarden like this one, which allows you to grow your own herbs and vegetables indoors with no soil. The system uses soil pods, liquid plant food, and fake sunlight to help your plants grow without the mess. Reviewers love it—they give it 4.7 out of 5 stars, saying the plants take a while to grow, but the results are well worth it.

7. A popular water bottle in three great colors
It'll be your new bestie.
I know several people that swear by this Takeya water bottle, and in a time when staying hydrated is more important than ever, this is a great investment. Made with stainless steel and featuring a spill-resistant lid (deeply important), this water bottle is a perfect item to keep close at hand.
Reviewers used this water bottle for hot and cold beverages and loved taking it on the go.
8. An Infinity gauntlet (no, seriously)
I mean, who wouldn't want this?
Who wouldn’t want to feel a little powerful right now? This great item from Marvel is a great gift for anyone looking to add to their Marvel collection.

9. An electric razor so you can maintain your style
This professional-grade groomer makes a great addition to your collection.
We now know that shows like The 100 are potentially misadvertising how great everyone’s facial hair would look mid-apocalypse—no fear, this razor by Panasonic is here to help. This razor comes in an automatic cleaning and charging station and boasts 14,000 cycles per minute to achieve a smooth, perfect shave. Reviewers loved how the cleaning system made the razor feel fresh with every use and the close, clean shave it gave them.

10. A Nespresso to keep you alive and kickin’
It’ll be part of the family in no time.
I swear by our Nespresso. It's the most reliable thing we own. Why not stay caffeinated like me with the Nespresso VertuoPlus, which allows you to make coffee and espresso drinks? Reviewers used this product to cut coffee shops out of their daily routine and loved replacing their old coffee makers with the Nespresso. The best part? You can recycle the pods.
11. An air purifier to clear things out
We stan Dyson.
This beautifully designed, futuristic air purifier and fan is a great addition for your home or apartment. It purifies up to 172 square feet of air and comes with a remote so you can control it from a distance. Reviewers with allergies or dust issues in their home recommended this product. Some reviewers said that the fan is a little louder than they would have preferred, so keep that in mind before purchasing.

12. Some bourbon soap
We could all use a little more soap right now.
Who knew Best Buy had soap? This Big Bourbon soap by Duke Cannon Supply Co. offers and oak bourbon barrel scent and would be a great item to send someone as its both cheery and practical. Reviewers recommended not dropping this product on your toes since it’s quite hefty, and several people noted that it was a great price for the product. Personally, I just love any product that uses bourbon.

13. An actual arcade game
Who needs to go to a real arcade to play the classics?
Now you can bring the retro arcade home with you—just buy your own arcade game from Best Buy and you'll stay entertained for days (and have an incredibly cool conversation starter). This particular arcade cabinet comes with four versions of Golden Tee, an arcade golf game. Reviewers are obsessed, saying the arcade fits in well with collector decor. They even stress that the game quality is similar to what it was when the game was made, so no fears about poor remastering.

14. Lovely, high-powered binoculars you’ll have forever
Another product I had no idea Best Buy stocked.
My dad’s binoculars were always an exciting thing to see in the midst of packing, because they meant we were going somewhere with incredible landscapes or wildlife. Make some memories with these binoculars, which boast rubber armor for excellent grip and BaK4 Pro Porro prisms for image clarity. Reviewers lauded the color fidelity these binoculars offer and recommended them for their great value for the price.

16. Office desks, chairs, and more

17. A host of Funko POP figures
Ah yes, my two icons: Luke Skywalker and Miranda Priestly
You can expect to pick up video games and movies from Best Buy, but Funko POP figures? It's probably not the first store that comes to mind. But Best Buy actually has a wide selection of Funko POP figures on its site, from video game characters like Sora to the only fictional character who got us through 2019, Baby Yoda. There are literally hundreds of figures to sift through, and Best Buy has a price match guarantee, meaning if you spot the same figure at a different site for a better price, you can get it at Best Buy for the same cost.

Ah yes, Best Buy, the first place I think of when I think about... oral hygiene. OK maybe not, but you can pick up the best electric toothbrush we tested.

Yes—you can compost indoors.
We're big fans of composting, we just had no idea you could purchase an indoor composter at Best Buy. This machine breaks down food into soil in four to eight hours, allowing you to dump your new soil into your garden without feeling guilty about your food waste. The best part? It's small—like easily-lives-on-your-counter small, which is quite different from other composting machines we've seen.

That's right—Best Buy sells socks, and not just any socks, but collectible socks featuring your favorite characters from video games and movies.
