The Coolest Tech Gadgets on Amazon Now

For home chefs

Though you can do pretty much anything with this video-equipped speaker (watch TV, FaceTime friends, etc.), we think it’s especially handy to have in the kitchen. There, you can view step-by-step recipes, set timers, play music, and add items to your grocery list through Alexa commands, making dinnertime a total breeze.

For fashionistas

Tech meets style in this cool smartwatch from Fossil. You can see notifications and alerts, control your music, track your fitness goals, and much more—all while accessorizing your favorite outfit.

For the slightly scatterbrained

Where is your phone right now? Your keys? If you’re not entirely sure, you might be the type who could benefit from the Tile Mate, which ensures you won’t lose your things ever again. All you have to do is attach the Tile onto your keyring, and then download the Tile app on your phone. When your phone is lost, press the button on the Tile to trigger a ringing sound (even when it’s on silent). When the keys are lost, use the app on your phone to make them ring, too. Easy peasy.

For a smarter home

When paired with an Alexa device, Amazon’s Smart Plug lets you control lights, fans, appliances, and more with just a simple voice command—or through a quick tap of the app if you’re remote. You can even program the app to make routines for you, like an auto turn-on of your lights and coffee maker with a single request.

For a brighter home

Yes, you read that right—in this day and age, even your light bulbs can be smart. The dimmable LIFX bulb gives off natural warm white light, saves energy, and makes life a lot easier.

For tech-obsessed kids

If your toddler is always reaching for your iPad, give them a more kid-friendly version of their own. The Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet gives them access to games, videos, books, and more, all monitored through parental controls and personalized screen time limits. The device even comes with one year of FreeTime Unlimited (regularly $2.99 per month), which provides educational content and games from PBS Kids, Nickelodeon, Disney, and the like.

For plugged-in students

This smart notebook combines traditional pen-to-paper note-taking with convenient cloud technology by transferring notes from the pages straight to digital files. Once the pages are scanned safely into the cloud, you can zap them clean in the microwave (yes, the microwave in your kitchen) up to five times, making it much more environmentally-friendly than your regular single-use paper notebook.

For convenience and safety

The Ring Doorbell works with Alexa to notify you when someone’s at your door, even allowing you to hear and speak to visitors without getting up. When you’re on vacation, you can check on your property anytime, thanks to Live-View on-demand video, and you’ll get alerts when someone triggers the motion detector. It’s the best of both worlds for laziness and safety.
