Gadgets are no longer just for James Bond. They’re cheaper, and cooler, than ever. Here’s a list of the top 10 gadgets to buy for your friends this holiday season.
Hydra Smart Bottle
How much technology can you fit into a water bottle? That seems to be the question asked by the makers of the Hydra Smart Bottle. It can be used as a speakerphone, microphone, nightlight, phone charger and an LED light. And it holds your water.
Personal Planetarium
You can have fun staring at the stars without knowing anything about them. But enjoying the night sky and learn at the same time, what’s not to love? The Universe2go Planetarium uses augmented reality to overlay information about the planets as you stare up at the sky.

Cozmo
When you see a robot with a personality in a movie, it can go two ways. Either the robot is the cutest thing ever and has a sweet coming of age story, or it’s evil and hell-bent on destroying the entire human race. Luckily, Cozmo appears to be the former. Although it does have a temper when it loses a game.
Spire Mindfulness and Activity Tracker
Focus on your breathing. Or relax and let technology do that for you. The Spire Mindfulness and Activity Tracker monitors your breathing and provides feedback so you can have a more relaxed and calm day.
