8 universal gifts for the New Year

1. Electric toothbrush

A toothbrush with a dozen different brushing modes, pressure sensor, timer and smartphone connectivity will delight advanced users. And for less active consumers of the benefits of technological progress, a simpler device is suitable.

In any case, everyone needs to monitor their dental health and devote time to effective oral hygiene. Therefore, such a gift will definitely not be superfluous and will probably immediately replace an ordinary toothbrush.

2. External battery

A powerbank with a selection of the most common ports and a decent capacity will be a universal gift in any situation. Such a device will definitely come in handy for all smartphone owners - especially if it is a battery with support for fast charging standards in a rugged case.

3. Plaid

A soft blanket will not only warm its owner on a cold evening, but also become an interior decoration. It is unlikely that someone will refuse a gift made of high-quality material and pleasant sensations while relaxing, reading or watching a movie.

4. Thermos

A spacious thermos with a secure lid can be taken with you both on a trip and to work. Or use it at home - delicious tea or coffee will always be at hand and will warm you on frosty days. You can also donate a thermos for food, which will be convenient to carry delicious homemade meals to the office.

5. Air humidifier

In winter, dry air in a heated apartment can damage not only the skin, but the entire human body. A humidifier will help to avoid a decrease in immunity and other unpleasant consequences of a disturbed indoor climate.

Such devices can operate on a schedule and purify the water used by filters or UV radiation. There are also moisturizers that will allow you to perform aromatherapy using essential oils.

6. Portable SSD

A fast, high-capacity portable drive that comes in handy for storing bulky media files and important backups from your computer. An SSD will also allow you to use programs or even an operating system without filling up your PC's internal storage. A very useful gift for all laptop and desktop owners.

7. Fixtures and smart lamps

These devices are needed not only to brightly illuminate the desktop or room, but also to create a relaxing atmosphere. They can be customized for different situations: change the temperature of the light, choose the appropriate colors, set timers and synchronize with other devices for automatic activation.

Instead of a smart lamp, you can give something simpler. For example, a folding desk lamp with built-in wireless charger and USB ports.

8. Multitool

A reliable multitool will come in handy at home, on a hike, and in the car: hardly anyone will carry a large set of full-size tools everywhere. It fits in your pocket and helps you do minor repairs, open a bottle and canned food, or light a fire if needed.
