The holiday season is upon us, and you know what that means? Shopping. It’s time to make your gift lists and check them twice.

Not good at holiday gifting? We get it. The online shopping space is seemingly infinite, and trying to decide on one or two things to get the important folks in your life can get overwhelming really fast. But we’re here to help you figure out what to buy so you can spend less time stressing and more time spreading holiday cheer.

And just in case you don’t have time to watch the full video, here’s a countdown of our top 10 gifts of 2022:

10. Ultimate Ears Boom 3 wireless speaker

Bluetooth speakers make great gifts for everyone, and this one is one of our favorites. The Ultimate Ears Boom 3 features 360-degree sound, customizable audio, and is even waterproof (so taking it to the hot tub or the bathtub is a go).

9. Whistle Switch GPS dog collar

Dog parents can be hard to shop for, but you can’t go wrong with buying them a fancy piece of pet tech. The Whistle Switch is basically a Fitbit for your dog with activity tracking, location tracking, and more.

8. Amazon Echo Show 10

For home cooks and smart home aficionados, the Echo Show 10 is a handy piece of tech. Follow along with on-screen recipes, connect with loved ones via video chat, and control all your other smart home devices.

7. AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)

Yes, the new AirPods Pro really are worth the money. With upgraded noise cancellation and more ear tip options for a secure fit, it’s time to swap out those old first-generation AirPods for good.

6. Almond Cow alternative milk maker

For dairy-free or eco-conscious giftees, the Almond Cow allows you to make delicious, high-quality nut, seed, and grain milk in just one minute.

5. Turonic GM5 massage gun

This Turonic massage gun is the ideal gift for the stressed parent or tense desk worker on your gift list. With seven attachments and five intensity levels, it’s never been easier to beat sore muscles.

4. Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro (TIED)

Tied for fourth place with the Apple Watch Series 8, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is a good pick for anyone who is anti-Apple. Get in-depth sleep tracking, a long-lasting battery, and a watch face big enough to read texts, check notifications, and more.

3. Polaroid Now+ instant camera

Making memories just got easier with the Polaroid Now+. Shoot creative photos with multiple modes and color filters, pair your camera with the compatible smartphone app for even more customization, and enjoy physical photos immediately after taking them.
