Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS + Cellular, 40mm)
As you’d expect from a company like Apple, the latest iteration of the Apple Watch has all the bells and whistles—it may even cook you breakfast, we’re not sure. But what we are sure of is it offers both GPS and cellular connection, an Always-On Retina display on its 30%-larger screen from previous models, it’s swimproof, and it even has an EGC app that tracks your heart rate.
Theragun G3
Getting a massage is so yesterday. Nowadays, everyone is into the Theragun, which can release knots in your muscles like magic, giving you greater range of motion and mobility, and help “wake up” your muscles. The G3 gives you two colors to choose from with two speeds, four pro attachments to work your muscles with, a travel case, and an hour of battery life, among other amazing things.
Hermitage Bay Resort, St. Mary’s, Antigua
Let’s face it—2019 was a bit of a dumpster fire. Isn’t it time you got away? Best to flee for the azure waters of the Hermitage Bay Resort in Antigua, made up of only 30 eco-luxury suites set on 1,200 feet of natural beach. Better yet, there’s 17 Hillside Pool Suites that feature a wraparound deck and private plunge pool. Not only is it all-inclusive, but you’ll get round-trip airport transfers if you stay three nights or more. No wonder it was Conde Nast Traveler’s Gold List Winner in 2015, 2017 and 2018.
Flywheel Spin Bike
An official entry in Oprah’s Favorite Things for 2019, the Flywheel Home Exercise Bike is more than just an attractive appliance to hang your laundry on. In fact, it’s WiFi enabled and comes with a free two-month subscription encouraging you to partake in its guided cycling and off-bike workouts (you’ll pay $39 per month after the trial ends). You’ll have access to thousands of live and recorded workouts, support from elite coaches nationwide, and even get a peek at your performance metrics so you can track your progress. And when it gets the Oprah seal of approval, you know you can’t go wrong.
Foreo UFO
Get otherworldly skin with this next-level treatment tool, which works in conjunction with Foreo’s UFO-activated sheet masks to brighten dull skin, lift and firm, reduce signs of aging and make you glow like the rock star you are. The UFO offers warm and cool temp options, pulsation intensity, and LED light wavelengths that activate your face mask on a deeper level. Don’t be surprised if people think you had work done!
Dyson Airwrap
You can pretty much get rid of any other hairstyling tool you own, ’cause you can literally do everything with the Dyson Airwrap. And we do mean everything—curl, wave, smooth and dry your hair without extreme heat using a variety of attachments, including a smoothing brush, round volumizing brush, a pre-styling dryer, and more.
Stone Manor by Open Air Homes, Malibu
If you’ve ever wanted to live in a home straight out of a Nancy Meyers movie, but never had the dough to make it happen, now you can! At least, temporarily. Book this abode in Malibu through Airbnb, and you can spread out in five bedrooms, two—yes, two—living rooms, a fabulous pool, and of course, a kitchen to die for, all overlooking the Pacific on three acres of land with its own private driveway.
Bose QuietComfort® 35 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones II With Google Assistant
Whether you’re in the middle of your favorite show, or your jams are just so good that you can’t let in the outside world, these wireless, Bluetooth-compatible headphones will help block out noise and distraction with deep and intensive lifelike sound. As if that’s not enough, they also come with Google Assistant built in.
Marvel Super Heroes Full Size Arcade Cabinet
Play a multitude of Marvel video games in this classic arcade-style cabinet, bringing that retro feel to your current pop culture obsession. Worry not—the construction is the only old-school thing about this. The display is high-res, so your game play is super clear whether you’re playing Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men: Children of the Atom, or The Punisher.
Crème de la Mer Moisturizing Cream
Literally the crème de la crème of skincare, this ultra-rich cream is a dream for dry skin types who need some moisture of the highest degree. Not only will it help heal dry skin and restore its vibrance, but the brand’s nutrient-rich Miracle Broth™ can soothe skin sensitivity, improve firmness, and reduce signs of aging.
Tranquility Pod
Now this is next-level napping! Slip inside this pod for a relaxation experience unlike any other, aided by sound, vibration and soothing light. The pod itself is made of fiberglass and blocks 90% of outside noise, while inside features a four-speaker sound system that connects to your iPhone. It also has a biofeedback system that that synchronizes your heart rate with 50 LEDs that create ambient mood lighting to calm your mind. Did we mention the base is a temperature-controlled waterbed? We want!
