1) Vaonis Vespera smart telescope
Yes, the concept of a telescope that doesn’t have an eyepiece may sound weird but therein lies the beauty of the Vespera as it seeks to make stargazing easier and less tedious.

This means you can just place the Vespera outside and gaze at the night sky from the comfort of your couch or bed.
2) Sonos Arc soundbar
In a market that is saturated with soundbars, there are very few that provide the right balance of features, sleek design, convenience and of course, performance, than the Sonos Arc. With the company’s very first Atmos soundbar, you’ll fall in love with this device and the superb sound that it brings, no matter what it is you’re watching. If it’s a movie or a TV show, you’ll be amazed by the incredible clarity of the dialogue, fullness of the bass and the noticeable detail that you will hear across the frequency range.

4) Oral B IO toothbrush
Although the idea of a toothbrush that winks at you while you’re putting it inside your mouth may sound weird, there’s no denying that the Oral B IO toothbrush packs quite a punch in the fight against plaque and tooth decay. It’s armed to the teeth with an incredible amount of features such as sensors that monitor the brush’s movement inside your mouth and let you know which areas you’ve missed.

This means an alert won’t bother you every time a strong gust of wind passes through the patio.
7) EZVIZ C3N Outdoor Smart Wi-Fi Camera

The EZVIZ app is also user-friendly and you can easily save footage from the camera straight to your smartphone through the app itself.
8) NowLight self-powered lamp

Rather than fill your bag up with plenty of batteries, you can just bring the NowLight, which is a hand-cranked instant charger that also doubles as a 160-lumen lamp, which is more than enough to light up a wide area whenever the campfire dies out.
9) Meeting Owl Pro video conference camera
The Meeting Owl Pro is a nifty device that you and others — whether they’re in the office or just at home — will enjoy using for meetings. If you’re at home, the Meeting Owl Pro has a 360-degree, 1080p camera that offers crystal clear video and audio so you don’t miss a single detail or discussion.
