1) Solar beach umbrella
The Anker Solar Beach Umbrella is more than just shade. This umbrella is part of Anker's SOLIX lineup and does something unique. It charges your devices while you relax outdoors. What makes it special? Perovskite solar cells are seriously impressive. These cells are approximately 30% more powerful than conventional solar cells in bright sunlight, and perform twice as well in low light. The umbrella can pump out 80W of power via USB-C and has an XT-60 connection to power things like Anker's new EverFrost electric cooler. So you can literally keep your drinks cold and charge your phone at the same time. Although they haven't announced the price yet, you can expect to see this technology hit stores sometime in the spring or summer.

2) Wireless earbuds with a case that sticks to the back of your phone
Artronic has just unveiled the Komutr, an ultra-slim set of wireless earbuds with an ingenious magnetic charging case that plugs directly into compatible phones, chargers and accessories. The charging case is just 0.47 inches thick and is designed to stick to the back of your MagSafe-compatible phone. No more searching through bags or forgetting your earbuds at home. The case also has a smart cover that acts as a kickstand for watching videos. These earbuds pack a ton of battery power, up to 10 hours of listening time per charge and 30 hours total when you include the charging case. For those who don't have MagSafe phones, Artronic promises “adjustable options,” but let's be real: the magnetic attachment is where the magic happens. Want to get your hands on these? Mark your calendars for January 15th when pre-orders open. The Komutr will start shipping in May and will cost you $129. Not bad for a pair of earbuds that essentially become one with your phone.

3) Samsung's new TV uses artificial intelligence to deliver recipes
Have you ever watched a cooking show and suddenly craving this exact dish? Well, Samsung's got your back with Samsung Food, an amazing TV feature that uses AI to recognize dishes on screen and instantly serve up their recipes faster than you can say “Bon appetit.” Technology is not just about recipes. Samsung Food can track your grocery deliveries, create shopping lists from the contents of your fridge, and even suggest meal plans. Samsung calls it “the ultimate AI sous chef,” and honestly, they might be on to something. The AI certainly won't cook for you (bummer, right?). But for aspiring home cooks who take inspiration from all the cooking shows and movies, this could be a game-changer. Don't blame Samsung if you end up spending more time watching cooking shows than actually cooking. Naturally, you'll need a 2025 Samsung TV to access this culinary magic. Samsung Food will be available on QN90F, QN80F and QN70F TVs.

4) The robot vacuum cleaner tidies more than just floors
The Roborock Saros Z70 changes the game by doing what most robot vacuums can't: intelligently handle stray items. When a sock or pair of underwear falls to the floor, this smart device doesn't just push them off or get them stuck. Instead, it extends a hidden mechanical arm, carefully moving items to a designated area, keeping your space clean and preventing cleaning interruptions. Robotic vacuum cleaners have evolved from simple floor cleaners to smart assistants that can navigate around obstacles, handle pet hair, and even now handle misplaced clothes.

5) LeafyPod, the smart planter that listens
Have you ever wished your leafy friends could tell you exactly what they need? Well, get ready to have your mind blown because LeafyPod is here to make that dream a reality. This nifty little gadget contains all kinds of high-tech sensors that monitor things like soil moisture, light, and humidity. LeafyPod uses its AI to figure out exactly how much water your plant needs and distributes it accordingly. No more drowning the poor sap. The LeafyPod's water reservoir can keep your green companions hydrated for up to four weeks. This is correct. You can finally take that month-long vacation without coming home to a forest of crunchy leaves. It's like having a little plant whispering in your living room.

6) A lawn mower that handles any terrain
Lymow One is a beast. Thanks to the “Savage Traverse System” that has tank-like tracks, this robotic mower doesn’t play around. It chews leaves, pine cones and small branches like they were nothing, using powerful mulching blades and a centrifugal fan to keep things tidy. Pet owners, relax. Advanced obstacle recognition means Fluffy and Fido stay safe while the lawnmower does its work. It's basically a robotic landscaper that turns your garden into a perfectly manicured paradise. However, it doesn't come cheap. It will cost you $3000.

10) Meromi: The wonderful robot that attaches bags and steals hearts
Meromi is a magical robot that turns an ordinary suitcase into an interactive experience. This furry companion from Yukai Engineering automatically turns its head, mimicking the curiosity of a shy infant. Unlike complex AI robots, Meromi offers pure and simple magic; They do not talk or move independently or require advanced programming. As your bag moves, Meromi glances around; If someone approaches too quickly, he shyly turns away. Priced at a reasonable $70 and launching via crowdfunding in mid-2025, this little robotic mascot is less about technological sophistication and more about putting a smile on your face.
