Dyson

"The Dyson hair dryer has been out for some time now, but I had been wary to use because of my very fine hair—especially because it gets dry easily. Enter Dyson’s latest: Gentle air attachment. The nozzle ensures that air is diffused so that it is cooler on the scalp and the strands—so things don’t get too dried or fried. Now that we’re moving into fall, I feel less guilty about heat styling my hair more regularly with this gadget. Plus, like the OG Dyson it is f-a-s-t."—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Senior Digital Editor
Bose

"Whenever people ask me to share my tips for surviving long flights, I tell them about my secret weapon: Bose Noise Cancelling headphones. They have completely changed the way I travel. Rather than getting anxious on planes, I actually look forward to slipping on my headphones and completely zoning out during the flight."—Lindsay Silberman, Contributing Editor

"I’ve always been an old-school toothbrush kind of girl, but the buzz around Quip has me thinking of making the switch to electric."—Caroline Hallemann, Senior News Editor
Amazon

"My Amazon Fire TV Stick is honestly one of the best items I've purchased in the last year. In addition to the shows and movies available through Amazon, I can also seamlessly access streaming platforms like Netflix and HBO Go. Plus, the stick is really easy to use."—Maggie Maloney, Associate Digital Editor
Apple

"The Apple Watch has lots of amazing, handy features but the one that has truly changed my life is also one of the most basic: it lets me find my phone no matter what obscure spot in my apartment I've left it. The watch has a feature the makes your phone give a loud "ping" (even when it's on silent) so you can track it down even if it's managed to hide between the couch cushions, or in the pocket of your jacket in the coat closet."—Lauren Hubbard, Contributor
Google Nest

$229.00
"The Google Nest Hello Doorbell shows you who is at your door and will let you speak to them through your home Wifi connection. You can access HD video and audio of your front door to your cellphone or any other advice, even when you’re not home. There’s also a motion detection option which will alert you when motion is sensed at your home, and you can see a clip or live video of your home before a guest rings the doorbell. Aside from the security benefits, it’s extremely convenient to be able to communicate directly with a visitor or delivery person without actually greeting them at the door."—Michael Stillwell, Senior Designer

It can be hard to find a chic case for keeping tech products in order, but this orange leather design from Mark & Graham fits the bill. And the best part?

"What did we do before AirPods? Doesn’t it seem like another century? Wear the old-fashioned headphones for any reason, and you’ll immediately feel like the most ancient person on the street, or your gym. Perhaps I’m projecting, but the AirPods have changed the way we work out, listen to music and even multi-task. It’s a small gadget with a big impact. Now, if only Apple made them in different colors…"—Erik Maza, Style Features Director
Upright GO

Energizer

"I bought this book light randomly—during a pre-vacation “panic mode” shop—assuming it would be good for reading on a plane or at night, as to not disturb anyone around me.

When you realize you don’t have to get out of bed to turn off your light after reading, suddenly you’re a literary fiend.
