We Found 26 Unique Gifts for People Who Already Have Everything in 2026

Headphones are a classic gift, but Sony’s 1000X The Collexion certainly stand out from the crowd. These luxury headphones were released this summer to mark the 10th anniversary of the Sony 1000X series, and they earned a spot on our best headphones of 2026 list. They’re reinforced with stainless steel and feature soft vegan leather for a high-end design. They also offer premium sound, upgraded drivers and spatial audio with 360 Reality Audio Upmix for a rich, immersive listening experience. In his full review of the headphones, CNET audio expert David Carnoy noted that, compared to Sony’s popular XM6 model, “The Collexion sounds a little cleaner, with more refined treble and a bit more depth and detail, and a slightly wider soundstage.” These headphones make an excellent gift for the audiophile in your life with sophisticated style.

The Litter-Robot 5 is one of our favorite pet tech devices, and it’s the perfect gift for the cat owner who’s tired of scooping litter. The self-cleaning litter box sifts out waste after every use and provides insights on your cat’s health. For multicat households, it uses a weight-based cat identification system to track each feline’s litter box usage and individual health data. “The biggest selling point for me is how much time it gave back to my nightly routine,” said CNET Editor Ajay Kumar. 

Robot pool cleaners are still an emerging category, so the pool owner in your life likely doesn’t have one yet. The Scuba V3 pool vacuum uses AI-powered navigation to detect and collect leaves, stones and other debris to make pool cleaning a breeze. It earned the top spot on our list of the best robot pool cleaners and a CNET Editors’ Choice Award. CNET’s David Watsky said, “It’s genuinely impressive to watch it cruise along and adjust its course on the fly to grab leaves and pebbles as soon as they enter its catch zone.” 

For someone who’s new to the world of 3D printing, the A1 Mini Combo is a perfect entry point. While the build area itself is relatively small, the quality of the print is surprisingly good, and you can print in four colors straight out of the box. According to 3D printing expert James Bricknell, “I have been using the Mini pretty much constantly since it arrived at my door, and if I want a print that doesn’t fail and looks amazing, this is the machine I use.” Read our review of the Bambu Lab A1 Mini Combo here.

This projector not only earned our top pick for the best outdoor projector overall but also snagged a CNET Editors’ Choice award. It’s compact yet delivers great image and sound. The built-in battery lasts 2.5 hours, and your giftee can watch shows and movies from top streaming services like Netflix and Disney Plus.

If you know someone who appreciates a good tech gadget, they’ll be a big fan of these smart glasses. CNET’s Scott Stein says the Meta Ray-Bans are practical and, oddly, transformative. He’s gotten so used to them that sometimes he’ll start talking to himself and tapping the glasses to take pictures before realizing he’s wearing his regular ones. “I suddenly miss the extra features like a phantom limb,” he says.

He also loves that AI is a “whimsical bonus” with the Meta Ray-Bans. “These are glasses first and cameras/headphones second — and pretty good ones at that.” For instance, the glasses can take photos and then analyze them with generative AI and respond back in audio. All in all, they’ll make an amazing gift.

Someone who enjoys gaming probably already has the latest Xbox or PlayStation. But they might not have the Backbone One, which will let them easily go mobile and turn their phone into a handheld gaming console. This nifty controller offers responsive analog triggers, clickable thumbsticks and tactile buttons, making it ideal for cloud-based gaming. If you prefer playing games installed directly on your phone, it handles those effortlessly too.

For a unique wellness gift, the Oura Ring 5 fits the bill. All your giftee has to do is wear it and the ring will do the rest, from tracking their activity and fitness metrics to their sleep, which they can check in the Oura app. They can also set various health targets. CNET’s Vanessa Hand Orellana called it “the best smart ring you can buy” in her review of the Oura Ring 5. She noted that the device “makes 24/7 tracking feel effortless,” thanks to its comfortable design, long battery life and intuitive app.

The Vestaboard Note is a truly unique display device that lets friends and family send messages from anywhere. In place of a digital display screen, it’s made up of mechanical spinning flaps with letters, numbers and special characters that can write out messages up to 45 characters long. “The Vestaboard Note is something a family can treasure as the centerpiece of their home,” said CNET Managing Editor James Bricknell. “I cannot tell you how much joy I get from the clacking noises as it spins a new message from my wife telling me she loves me while she’s at work. It’s expensive, yes, but it brings so many happies, it’s worth the money if you have it to spare.”

For those who struggle to keep a plant alive, try a smart planter. This AI-powered planter monitors your plant’s condition and lets you know when it needs water, adjusted humidity or more light. Just download the LeafyPod app onto your phone, choose the type of plant that’s in the planter, and then LeafyPod learns how your plant and the soil react when it’s watered. After the first few waterings, your smart planter will come up with an ideal watering routine for your plant and alert you if it needs more light or changes in temperature or humidity.

What’s better than getting cozy in a cocoon of comfort, surrounded by soft fabric and padding? Help your giftee get as cozy comfortable as their pup with this human-sized dog bed. It comes in a variety of colors — including beige, light gray, black and pink — and is perfect for napping or lounging in. It’s so comfortable that CNET’s David Watsky notes, “One problem you’ll have with the Plufl is that a quick rest can turn into an hours-long nap without warning.”

We all have those friends or family members who like to experiment with their home lighting and smart home gadgets, and now they can even more with the Govee Floor Lamp 2. CNET’s James Bricknell calls it the “coolest smart lamp” out there, thanks to its low profile. “You can barely see it, just a small base and a thin line of metal,” Bricknell said. “The focus is on the light rather than the structure.” Plus, you can sync it with your other smart lights to really set the mood. The lamp uses RGB LEDs to offer a wide variety of colors, and it can be easily controlled by Alexa, Google Assistant or a single app.

The best gifts are the most frivolous ones, and you could argue the Cuzen Matcha Maker falls into that category. That is, unless you’re shopping for someone who loves matcha drinks. Rather than buying powder in a can, they can use this gadget to grind their own matcha leaves into a fine powder, which is then automatically added to water to create a hot brew. They’ll never be able to drink matcha any differently after getting this.

What do you get the serious home chef who likes to tinker in the kitchen any chance they get? Some extra bells and whistles, of course. The Ooni Koda 2 pizza oven has a devoted following, and for good reason. It can reach up to 950 degrees, cook a 12-inch pizza in 60 seconds, and even cook steaks, fish, vegetables — anything really. That alone makes it a culinary gadget to covet.

The pellet ice is also perfect for smoothies and other blended beverages.

The Rorra water filter has an elegant stainless steel design that makes it excellent for gifting. In his review of the Rorra water filter, CNET Editor David Watsky even shared that he’s gotten many compliments from guests after putting it out on his countertop. Beyond its stylish design, the water filter is also functional. It can remove lead, forever chemicals, microplastics and over 50 other contaminants from your drinking water. It also holds up to 2.5 gallons of water. 

True foodies know that fresh herbs and veggies can make all the difference, and this smart growing system makes it easy to grow your own herbs, fruits and vegetables indoors. The Gardyn Studio 2 is one of our favorite indoor gardens, and it’s a terrific solution for the foodie or home chef who doesn’t have the outdoor space or weather conditions for a traditional garden. With this smart indoor garden system, the recipient can grow up to 16 plants with an easy pod system. It’s also designed as a vertical tower rather than a wide garden bed, so it fits nicely in apartments and small spaces.

The adapter also helps eliminate ambient sound, so your giftee’s listening experience will be top-notch. You can read more about the AirFly Pro Bluetooth transmitter in our review, and the Deluxe version is only a few dollars more and comes with a nice suede case and international headphone adapter.

This action camera is ideal for the adventurers in your life to capture their experiences.

It also has a 5-nanometer triple AI chip for advanced noise reduction and image processing.

The X5 model also comes with tougher scratch-resistant lenses that are fully replaceable.
