1. Apple Air Tag - AirTag is a super easy way to keep track of your things. Attach one to your keys with key chain , slip another in your backpack. …and just like that, they’re on your radar in the Find My app. There are also bracelets that kids can wear that hold the Air Tags so you can track your little ones with ease.

2. Air Tag Bracelets - Use the air tag children’s bracelets at theme parks/large crowds or the adult bracelets for the elderly to ensure a safe arrival home. They even have them for pets.

A reading light, sound machine and time-to-rise indicator all in one, this ingenious device helps you customize your sleep environment. Use the soft-touch buttons or the app on your phone to customize color, brightness, sound and volume (choose from preset themes or create your own) to help promote healthy circadian rhythms and melatonin production for a better night's sleep. The reading light is soft and soothing without eye-straining blue hues, while other soothing content allows you to wind down and prepare for sleep, in mind and body. The alarm function simulates sunrise for a more refreshing, natural waking process that supports proper cortisol levels.

13. Dyson Hair Dryer - This is WORTH EVERY PENNY! There is no substitute for this machine! It took my drying time from 30 minutes to 11! This one comes with the new fly away attachment. Why buy from Nordstrom? Free shipping, free returns and they accept returns for months and months.

Skip the hassle of building a bonfire and bring the taste of the campfire right into the kitchen! Simply fill the lazy Susan compartment tray with marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers, then roast the marshmallows to a perfect golden brown over the flameless electric heater and enjoy.

15. Dyson Air Purifier /Fan TP07 - The Queen Mother of all air purifiers, and we have all models, this is the top rated model by Consumer Reports and PC Magazine. (Read their review here.) Automatically senses, captures, and traps pollutants and allergens. Fully sealed to HEPA H13 standard, so what goes inside, stays inside. Purifies the whole room and cools you. This is one of the top three gadgets I sell on Instagram. Worth every penny if you have dogs, allergies, stinky teens, paint or kitchen smells in your home. Buy on HSN to break up payments, with no interest, if needed.
