Xtreme XFlyer 6 Axis Quadcopter Drone

Tile Sport/Style
The gift to give to anyone who’s lost his or her keys four times in the last two weeks. They’ll thank you when they’re running late and no longer need to pull up every couch cushion in a frantic rush.
Crosley Cruiser Deluxe Suitcase Turntable
This Bluetooth-enabled turntable will get both hipsters and technophiles alike grooving. Great gift for first apartments (or anyone you suspect might enjoy combing through stacks of vinyl).
Fitbit Flex
For your health-conscious friend who just isn’t ready for an Apple Watch yet (or doesn’t want to charge up their watch every night).
Amazon Fire TV
No cable? No problem. If you have an Amazon Prime subscription, you can watch thousands of movies and TV episodes (in 4K!) with this little doodad. (Bonus: It even works with Alexa, so you can finally control your TV with just the sound of your voice.)
Fujifilm Instax Mini 9
Like vinyl, polaroids are oh-so hip right now with the kids. Perfect for an Instagram-loving teen.
SNES Classic
A killer collection of 16-bit games, the Super NES Classic is a great gift to bring on the nostalgia this year.

Plattan ADV Wireless Headphones
For the style conscious, these Plattans are slim, sleek, and easy to use — and one of the few pairs of over-the-ear headphones out there that won’t make you look like a total dork.
Amazon Echo
The second generation of the Echo now comes in a range of fabrics, has a smaller size, and better sound. It feels more like an oversized coffee mug that nestles easily on your kitchen countertop, and less like a vape machine from Tron. Good for anyone who wants to let Alexa into their life.
BeatsX Wireless In-Ear Headphones
With stellar sound and eight-plus hours of battery life, BeatsX wireless headphones are pretty hard to beat. Perfect for workouts and anyone who wants to live life untethered.
Heads up: If you click links and buy things, New York may make a little money off the purchase. That said, we don’t recommend stuff we wouldn’t buy (or haven’t bought) for ourselves.
