Home security might not be the first thing that comes to mind when planning Christmas gifts, but it’s a practical upgrade that could make a meaningful difference for someone you care about.

Live view and two-way talk also let homeowners communicate with visitors remotely. For someone who has been meaning to improve their home security, this is a useful gift that offers added peace of mind for you and your recipient.
For homeowners looking to keep a closer eye on their property, the Ring Outdoor Cam Pro brings more advanced monitoring capabilities to outdoor spaces.

Radar-powered 3D Motion Detection also sends activity alerts to a phone. Available in black or white, it’s a thoughtful investment in everyday security for someone who might not think to purchase one for themselves, not to mention that it’s known for its easy, DIY installation.
For the person already thinking about their fitness goals for the new year, the Google Fitbit Edge is a timely holiday surprise.

With up to a week of battery life and quick charging, it’s designed to make keeping track of everyday wellness a little easier.
For active people who want health insights without another screen competing for their attention, the Google Fitbit Air stands out as a different kind of gadget. This screen-free tracker quietly monitors your activity, sleep and recovery through built-in sensors, with all your insights available in the Google Health app on your phone. Its lightweight, adjustable design is comfortable enough to wear around the clock. You also get personalized coaching powered by Gemini, up to a week of battery life and a tracker that lets you focus on moving more and scrolling less.
From personal audio to home security and fitness technology, this year’s tech gifts offer something for different interests and everyday needs.
