oura-ring.jpg
Oura

While most fitness and sleep trackers are worn around a wrist (some resembling a smartwatch), the Oura Horizon Ring offers the same level of accuracy, but it's packed into a stylish and fashionable ring designed to be worn on an index finger. Integrated within the ring are a handful of tiny sensors that measure heart rate, body temperature and other metrics, allowing it to collect and share valuable and insightful data with the Oura mobile app.

The Oura Ring is mainly a sleep and stress level tracker, but it measures more than 20 biometric signals that allow it to also serve as a versatile fitness tracker that's worn 24/7. The ring itself comes in a variety of styles and colors and is made from durable and biocompatible titanium. It's also non-allergenic and waterproof. Its battery lasts up to seven days. It works with either an iPhone or any Android-based smartphone. In addition to working with its own Oura app, the ring can share data with Apple Health, Google Health Connect, Stava and other health and fitness mobile apps.

What we like about the Oura Horizon ring: While a traditional fitness tracker looks like a piece of technological equipment being worn on a wrist, the Oura Ring is a stylish piece of unisex jewelry that collects health and fitness-related data 24/7 and then transmits it to a smartphone for analysis.

The Sony WF-1000XM5s can be comfortably worn for extended periods. They also allow someone to simply relax and enjoy almost total silence, even if they're traveling on a noisy airplane, train or bus, walking through a busy (and loud) city, or working in the middle of a noisy office. When used to listen to music, podcasts, or audiobooks, these wireless earbuds generate immersive stereo sound. This quality (and superior noise cancellation) extends over to when the earbuds are used for hands-free calling. This new version of the earbuds has been redesigned to be smaller and lighter than previous models, yet still provide excellent audio quality that's combined with AI-based noise cancellation.

Pickleball is now played at country clubs, tennis clubs, retirement communities and even aboard cruise ships. Like tennis, playing pickleball requires a paddle.

Amberjack

If your husband's dress shoe collection could use a slight update (or even a major overhaul), we recommend this timeless design by Amberjack's "The Original" collection. 

These dress shoes are made from A-grade, full-grain leather and have a sheepskin lining. Choose from 13 colors, including some that are made from water-repellent Italian suede. All of the shoes in collection offer the same upscale design, with a heat-activated arch support and dual-density outsole.

What we like about Amberjack's The Original dress shoes: This shoe collection was designed in Brooklyn, New York and is produced in Portugal by master craftsmen. While they're rather affordable, we think these shoes are as well made, comfortable and attractive as designer dress shoes priced two to three times higher.

Infinite Objects

Digital picture frames are nothing new, but what Infinite Objects offers is something truly unique. It's the ideal gift for someone who likes tech, but is difficult to shop for. Instead of displaying a series still digital images, these contemporary looking acrylic frames can either continuously display an animated piece of art that you pre-select, or a favorite video clip.

The Infinite Object frames are definitely conversation starters. The person you give it to will never get bored looking at it. These frames make an excellent piece of decor for a desk, nightstand, bookcase, or when it's hung on a wall.

When placing your order, you can upload your own video clip that's up to 30 minutes in length and at least 1,024 x 576 pixel resolution (in MP4 or MOV format). 

Instead of your own video, Infinite Objects offers hundreds of visually interesting animated artworks to choose from.

What we like about the Infinite Objects frames: The animated art that can be stored in and continuously displayed within these frames looks photorealistic and is visually pleasing and mesmerizing to watch. However, having your own video stored and displayed within the frame makes it an extremely unique and highly personalized gift that your husband will cherish for years to come.

Samsung

Whether he's watching live sports, his favorite blockbuster movies, or a popular TV series, seeing it on an 8K resolution TV offers a picture quality that's lightyears beyond what's possible with today's more common 4K resolution TVs. While it's true there's basically zero native 8K content to stream and watch at this point, the QN900C does an incredible job using AI-upscaling to take 1080p or 4K resolution content and upgrading it to as close to 8K as possible.

This infinity screen TV has practically no visible bezel, so all you see when viewing it is one of the most detailed, vibrant and life-like pictures current TV technology can produce. To generate this high-quality picture, the TV relies on a Neural Quantum Processor 8K and Neo Quantum HDR 8K Pro. Everything is displayed using more than 33 million pixels in better than theater-quality resolution. And for audio, the QN900C supports Dolby Atmos, Object Tracking Sound Pro and Samsung's own Q-Symphony 3.0. 

It's 65-inch screen size is ideal for most living rooms and bedrooms, although Samsung also offers a 75-inch ($5,000) and 85-inch ($6,000) version of this TV that are the perfect centerpiece for a state-of-the-art home theater setup.

What we like about the Samsung 65" 8K QN900C Neo QLED smart TV: Upgrading to an 8K resolution smart TV introduces the viewer to entirely new level of picture quality -- with ultra smooth motion, with vivid and life-like color.

The Original Cincha Travel Belt for Luggage
Amazon

The trick to becoming an efficient frequent traveler is being able to easily navigate your way through airports and hotel lobbies with all of your luggage.

The strap itself weighs a mere 7.8 ounces and is made from extremely durable and strong nylon. It can expand up to 45 inches, which is enough to fit around most totes, backpacks, purses, briefcases and messenger bags.

The Cincha travel belt for luggage is a great gift for anyone who travels often and already has a wheeled suitcase or carry-on. 

What we like about the Cincha travel belt for luggage: This simple travel accessory makes it easier to navigate around with luggage, while keeping those extra bags secure and attached to the luggage pieces that have wheels.


How to pick the perfect holiday gift for a guy

Every man is different and has his own interests, personality and lifestyle. That's why it'll probably take a bit of creativity and thought to choose the perfect gift for the most important guys in your life -– especially if your husband already has everything. This roundup contains 26 fun and unique gifts that our shopping experts have selected as being among the best options available in 2023 for Christmas, Hanukkah or whatever you will be celebrating during the holiday season.

This roundup features premium gift ideas, some of which are rather expensive. So, before making a purchase, here are some questions to ask yourself when choosing the ideal gift for the most important men in your life –- whether it's your husband, father, grandfather, son, friend, boss, or a male co-worker:

  • Are you looking for a funny or lighthearted gift? 
  • Do you want a sentimental gift he'll cherish?
  • Will he appreciate a functional gift?
  • If he has a hobby, like golf or outdoor grilling, would a related gift be appreciated?
  • Would he prefer a gift that he'd never buy for himself, but will enjoy using?
  • Does the man you're shopping for prefer gifts that can somehow enhance his overall health or wellbeing?
  • Do you want to present a gift that's truly over-the-top and shows you've spared no expense? 

Once you determine what type of gift(s) you're looking for -- based on the impact you want to make -- deciding on the ideal gifts will be much easier. If a gift needs to be custom made or shipped from a company other than Amazon (which typically offers two-day or faster Prime shipping), be sure to schedule your shopping accordingly.
