A claimed 700 CFM, about 70 minutes at full power and two nozzles. Big numbers from a newer brand, not yet independently tested.
- Holiday lights
meross MSS630 Outdoor Smart Plug
Three outlets you schedule separately, so porch lights, tree lights and a fountain each keep their own timer. Works with HomeKit, Alexa and Google.
- Gift: casual gaming
ACEMAGIC M1
24GB of memory and Radeon 680M graphics in a quiet five-inch box for esports, older games, emulation and cloud gaming.

A 16-core laptop-class chip and upgradeable memory in a 128mm box, for code, spreadsheets and photo work. Not a gaming PC.

BIG HORN 12-inch Dual Fuel Oven
Bake on the included electric element or switch to wood pellets for smoke. Treat it as an outdoor oven, whatever the title says.

A dock that empties the bin, washes the mop roller in hot water and dries it, plus LiDAR mapping. Best for hard floors and a shedder.
- Budget headphones
HAVIT H635BT
Hybrid noise cancelling, Bluetooth 6.0 and a claimed 72 hours with ANC on. The brand has the numbers; independent tests do not yet.
- Home office PC
KAMRUI E3B (Ryzen 5 7530U)
Triple 4K output, Wi-Fi 6, six USB-A ports and two SSD slots in a box about 128mm square. The balanced pick for a family or office desk.
