Haven't shopped yet? No need to panic; here are some of the most thoughtful gifts you can give this year, ranging from very affordable to luxurious options.
Holiday 2022 - products to buy for yourself and others
With an international carbon-neutral delivery, a 2-year guarantee, and packaging made from 100% paper, Mujjo makes for an easy entry in any holiday gift guide. The leather accessory maker uses eco-certified leather that is tanned without hard chemicals and develops a unique and personal patina over usage.
We have been testing Mujjo's products for over several years now, and they definitely are built to last! You might get bored of them after years of usage, but they won't stop being the beautifully crafted, sustainable pieces that they are. Some of our favorite products from Mujjo include their laptop sleeves, iPhone cases, and, more recently, their tech organizers. Whether you are buying for a colleague or a loved one who's into leather products and/or sustainability, Mujjo makes for amazing gifts within a budget of $50 to $120.
Order by 18 Dec for delivery by the 24th.
One of our favorite finds this year has been ESR's HaloLock products. Offering the fastest magnetic charging, ESR combines HaloLock with Cryoboost, which uses a phone-cooling fan and heat-dissipating components to keep your phone safe and cool during fast charging.
While the company offers a number of products that use this technology for home, office, and car use, our favorite is the HaloLock 3-in-1 Wireless Charger which lets you charge your phone, AirPods, and Apple Watch through one device and significantly declutters your tech life. ESR also makes iPad magnetic keyboards, MagSafe power banks, Samsung Galaxy accessories, and more for $19 to $100.
Tons of discounts are available on both iPhone (code: 50AFF) and Galaxy (code: GALAXY50) accessories.
Probably the most significant release in the tech industry this year has been the launch of the self-maintaining Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni. We have extensively written about this smart vacuum and mop that can not only do the vacuuming and mopping but can also wash its mop, empty its dustbin, and refill its mop water tank.
The initial $1549.99 may have been a high ask (but is expected of every path-breaking product), but the December discount of $550 makes it a must-buy for any home - especially those with younger kids as it makes cleaning as easy as "Hey YIKO, come over and clean here please!" If you haven't yet bought a gift for your parents, this will make for the most thoughtful gift because it will remove human involvement from the process, keeping the house clean with one tap or one voice command. Explore more over at Ecovacs, and get X1 Omni for $999.99 (with 0% APR financing with Affirm available).
Order by 15 Dec for delivery by Christmas.

Need to give something different? We may have become bored of seeing the same tech accessories, but Momax renewed our interest in mundane products like power banks by introducing its transparent designs. The company's pocket-sized magnetic wireless power bank works both as a wired and wireless power bank while carrying a memorable transparent design.
Momax also makes other accessories like phone and laptop stands, cables, protective cases, desktop chargers, lighting solutions, and more. Get stocking fillers for as low as $7!
Roborock is a reader-favorite here at Wccftech, with the company consistently delivering some of the most-reviewed and lasting smart cleaning products.
