Belkin 3-Outlet Surge Protector
Everyone should have an extra surge protector ($20) for home and on-the-go use. This one features three outlets, plus two USB ports, so you'll never have to watch that battery charge go down below 10 percent.
Samsung Galaxy Watch Active
Trade out your standard timepiece for the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active ($200) to stay on task, on time, and on top of your fitness goals.
Ring Door View Cam
The latest model of the Ring video doorbell ($199) is extra sleek and compact, and allows you to see who's at the the door from anywhere.
Samsung Galaxy Buds
Transform your workouts, walks, and commutes, with a pair of wireless ear buds ($130) like Samsung's smart new Galaxy Buds.
