Looking for gifts for the loved one who has everything, or the friend who could use some life upgrades? Whoever you're shopping for over the holidays, these gadgets are sure to delight. There's a self-cleaning blender cup, an oreo-sized phone charger, a digital doodling tablet that feels like real paper, and much more!
1. Snap the action.
To catch the best shot with virtually no setup time, try the GoPro Hero13 Black [from $400; gopro.com]. It has speedy mounting and accepts HB-Series Lenses [from $70 to $130] with auto-detect that instantly adjusts the camera settings. The waterproof and scratch-resistant lenses include an ultrawide lens, which bumps the camera's 156-degree field of view up to 177 degrees for more editing and cropping freedom, and a macro lens, which gets four times closer for dramatic detail.
2. Eat on the go.
In the blur of busy mornings, breakfast can be the first thing on the chopping block, but this powerful, portable blender nourishes you on the run. The stainless steel Nutribullet Flip [$100; nutribullet.com] keeps ice and frozen ingredients solid for 24 hours, so you can pack it with smoothie or protein-shake fixings the night before, then blend it and sip on your commute. The kicker? Fill the cup with soapy water and it cleans itself.

3. Zap your work sketches.
While tablets make reading easy, doodling in the digital age is trickier (thanks, Slack!) Who wants the hassle of scanning paper drawings or written edits on PDFs to send to colleagues? The 11.8-inch e-ink reader, reMarkable Paper Pro [from $579; remarkable.com] takes care of all of that beautifully, with a marker and a textured screen that feels more like writing with a Sharpie on paper than ever. When your oeuvre is ready, email to share. Done!
4. Charge it faster.
If you're traveling, pop this jewel in your pocket. Not much bigger than an Oreo cookie, the Qi2 Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station [$90; anker.com] unfurls to handle three devices using a single USB-C cable. With 15 watts of juice, it can recharge a newer iPhone twice as fast as 7.5-watt models, while giving your Apple Watch and earbuds 5 watts each. It also folds to hold the phone in landscape mode for videos on the road.

5. Remember your plug!
Phone? Check. Laptop? Got it. But how often have you left your tech charger behind and had to waste time buying a new one? The Twelve South PlugBug [from $70; twelvesouth.com] is almost impossible to lose. Available in 50- or 120-watt versions, it's wired with Apple's "Find My" feature and will alert you when you leave it behind or let you ring it from your phone if you misplace it. Plus, its USB-C outputs can handle even power-hungry laptops..
