Description

Here are the products we thought were the most interesting from the Holiday Gift Guide 2021 from Engadget (via Yahoo).

  • AeroPress Go Portable Travel Coffee Press
  • Blink Indoor HD security camera
  • Cosori Gooseneck Electric Kettle - An electric kettle is a nice addition to any office desk, but we would prefer to go with the Heatworks Duo when it becomes available
  • Govee Glide Wall Light - These are a cool, simple lighting system. But, for a more advanced and less expensive lighting system, we recommend the Monster Smart Illuminessence Prism
  • Jabra Elite 3
  • Logitech C922
  • Razer Kraken BT Kitty Edition - A fantastic set of earphones, including in non-kitty mode.
  • Rode VideoMic GO
  • Roku Ultra Streaming Device
  • SanDisk Extreme Pro SD card
  • What Do You Meme?

These are some items that don't seem like a great deal.

  • Custom TikTok Sign - We disagreed over the perceived value of the concept, but the price made this a hard pass.
  • J-Lab Go Air Pop - A $20 true wireless earbud is never going to be great. We recommend Motorola Tech3 or the TCL SOCL500TWS instead.
  • Lexar Professional 2000x 64GB SDXC - SanDisk is the only brand of SD card we recommend. Better performance, better lifespan, less money.
  • Nanlite LitoLite 5C RGBWW Mini LED Panel - Too expensive for an off-brand light. We recommend the Neewer Dimmable Portable LED Panel.
  • Kasa Smart Plug HS103P2 - These are decent, but we prefer the Aoycocr set, which is less expensive and more featured (when paired with the Monster Smart app).

We also mentioned an interesting product, in response to a photo on the article.

  • NEAT Microphones King Bee II - We use the first generation in our studio and recommend very few other mics (product review).
