All of our recommendations below are based on our previous coverage and reporting. We also included a handful of products we’ve tried ourselves, including Select Giftable Tech Awards winners. We’re running deals through price trackers like Honey to ensure each product is either at its lowest price ever or its lowest price in at least three months.

The Meta Quest 2 is one of our favorite VR headsets and gifts for gamers. It has a wide variety of immersive VR games and apps, a high-resolution screen and wireless capabilities. If you are new to VR, I recommend Beat Saber — a fun rhythm game that mixes music and exercise in an energetic and colorful way. Meta recently launched the Meta Quest 3, and while that product has big improvements, we think the Quest 2 is still a great entry point into VR at nearly half the price.

LG makes some of the best smart TVs, and this OLED model can deliver rich colors, deep blacks and bright highlights compared to similarly-priced LED TVs. It has streaming platforms like Netflix, Prime Video and Apple TV built in — no need to plug-in a streaming stick. It’s also compatible with video and audio technology like filmmaker mode and Dolby Atmos to help deliver a more cinematic experience, according to the brand.

It does not have a high-refresh rate screen, so it is not the best TV for gaming.

This is one of our favorite smart home hubs because it is like having a smart speaker and a tablet in one. You can sync and control most smart gadgets using the Google Home app, including smart home security devices to monitor their video feeds. You can also do most of what you would on a tablet, including checking your calendar, viewing photo galleries, streaming videos, listening to music and joining video chats.

This is Apple’s most affordable iPad and its lowest price ever. I’ve used it for years to watch TV shows, stream movies, reference recipes while cooking and hop on family video calls. It has the same 10-hour battery life as the latest iPads. It comes in two colors and you can choose between 64GB or 256GB of storage.

At half off their usual price, the Beats Studio Pro are a good deal for premium noise-canceling headphones. You can use them up to 40 hours before they need to be charged, and they offer active noise canceling and transparency modes, according to the brand. These headphones also have the same head-tracking and spatial audio features as the AirPods Pro, and come in four colors.

Our favorite fitness tracker for beginners, this Fitbit makes it easy to track health and fitness stats like daily steps, workouts, sleep scores and more. It is lighter and slimmer than most smartwatches and has a longer battery life that lasts up to seven days. This version also adds new smart features like turn-by-turn navigation with Google Maps and tap-to-pay with Google Wallet.

This is one of the best vacuums if you are looking for something lightweight but still powerful. It weighs just over 6 pounds and has up to an hour of run time. The vacuum has a screen that shows you stats like remaining battery, power mode and maintenance alerts. There are also five included attachments that make it versatile for all kinds of spaces, in my experience.

The Wonderboom 3 is a portable, lightweight Bluetooth speaker that’s great for anyone on a water-bound trip. That’s because it’s IP67 dust and waterproof, and floats in deep water. It is a winner of our Giftable Tech Awards, and one of my favorite speakers for travel because of its small size and durability. It’s also simple to use, with large buttons for volume and power, and it has up to 14 hours of battery life, according to the brand.

AirPods Pro are some of the best wireless earbuds on the market right now. Multiple Select staff members use these earbuds daily for commuting, making calls and listening to music while working out. In our experience, they have crisp sounds and excellent noise-canceling features. These second-generation models come with multiple ear tips in the box, a lanyard loop on the charging case and touch-sensitive volume controls on the earbuds for easy adjusting. This version has a USB-C port for charging instead of the previous iteration’s Lightning port. (Note: While these are 99 cents more than their lowest price ever and are not currently their lowest price in three months, we still consider this a good deal.)

This is one of the largest Lego games ever: it covers the story of all nine core Star Wars films, from The Phantom Menace to The Rise of Skywalker. You can battle your way through each story solo or with a friend. There are plenty of lightsaber fights, blaster battles, puzzle-solving and Lego humor along the way.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is rated E10 for ages 10 and up. We’ve linked the Nintendo Switch version, but it is also available for Xbox and Playstation.

A soundbar can make your TV sound much better. This option from Sonos plugs in via HDMI to deliver crystal clear dialogue and clarity during intense action scenes, according to the brand. You can also use it like a smart speaker, connecting over Wi-Fi or Apple AirPlay to play music and more. It can be controlled using voice commands using Google and Amazon voice assistants. Plus, it can sync with other Sonos speakers to play music simultaneously around the house or pair with Sonos subwoofers for a wide surround sound feel, according to the brand.

This is the more affordable version of the Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme, one of the best handheld gaming consoles. It’s like having a gaming laptop in your hands. You can play all kinds of PC games through storefronts like Stream, Epic Games and Xbox Game Pass. It has a faster, brighter and more detailed screen than competitors like the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch. Like those consoles, it can be played handheld or plugged into a TV for big-screen action.
