A
Toys for the Techie In Your Life
BY NICOLE NGUYEN, JOANNA STERN AND WILSON ROTHMAN
Each fall, we look back at the year's best tech products, and list the ones we think are actually worth your money (and ours). So have at it!
Lexon Oblio Phone Sanitizer/Charger
This stylish nightstand vase is a Qi-compatible(兼容)wireless charger that powers up your phone while bathing it in ultraviolet light, which is known to reduce the spread of harmful bacteria and may also be effective in inactivating the new coronavirus, according to the FDA. $ 80; lexon-design.com
MaskFone
The MaskFone is really just a mask with a pouch(袋子)that holds a pair of Motorola wireless earbuds, but it does solve some highly annoying mask-headphone issues. The earbuds, attached to the belts, stay firmly in your ear when walking or running. No more flying AirPod when you remove the mask. Then, with the microphone shoved(推)inside, you don't sound like you're underwater every time you take a call. Just beware: since there's no phone in sight, people you pass will think you're talking to them under your mask. $50; maskfone.com
LuDela Real-Flame Smart Candles
Sure, our gift guide tends to include some curiosities, but this remote-controlled selflighting candle actually makes sense. It's not a wax burning candle, but a wax-cylinder lamp with refillable fuel canisters that each last about 100 hours, so it's always full size. Each one does cost $ 99; ludela.com
iRobot Roomba i3+
Forget the past puppy. Get a latest robovac (robotic vacuum cleaner). The not-so-adorable, not-so-little autonomous vacuum is quick to navigate to the mess and impressively avoids obstacles. It even empties itself into its Clean Base station. Plus, with the improved app you can set its cleaning schedule, keep track of how much area it covered and remotely control it from anywhere in the house. $ 600; irobot.com
