The cold months of Winter bring freezing temperatures and Winter blues, but fear not, the holidays can bring you plenty of new tech to keep you warm. These wearable joys will keep you well-rested, protected from the cold, and looking merry and bright!
1 Illumiscarf LED Constellation Scarf
This has been a city street stopper! I am thrilled to have partnered with Shenova Fashion Design, leaders in STEM fashion clothing, on the launch of the Illumiscarf ($95). The ultrawarm 72-inch LED fleece scarf has four different light-up modes: fast flash, slow flash, glow steady, on, and off. It's handmade in California with custom fabric and is washable after first removing lights.
2 Neon KYX
The best and most durable LED light-up shoes to hit the market are Neon KYX (starting at $70). Choose from seven different colors and speed options with styles for kids and adults. They brighten up cold Winter walks to keep a spring in your step!
3 Thermacell Bluetooth Insoles
Those 10 layers of socks just got an upgrade. With the touch of a button, Thermacell's ($200) Bluetooth-controlled insoles are activated via your smartphone, providing instant warmth in the chilliest conditions. Three different temperature settings are available and you can control it via Bluetooth. These are water-resistant and work for up to five hours before needing a recharge.
4 Milwaukee M12 Cordless Lithium-Ion Heated Jacket
The Milwaukee M12 Cordless Lithium-Ion Heated Jacket (starting at $100) is perfect for anyone who works outdoors or simply cannot stand the Winter’s chilly weather! Running on eight full hours of battery life, the water- and wind-resistant jacket allows flexibility while keeping you protected from the elements. This is washer- and dryer-safe once you remove the battery.
5 Narwhal and Unicorn USB Heated Slippers
Magical cozy slippers ($35) heat up super fast when plugged into a USB. One size fits most, and besides being warm and cozy, they are super cute and sure to be a conversation starter.
6 Oros Gear
Do you know what helps keep astronauts warm in space? This Orion jacket (starting at $228), which literally turns into a NASA spacesuit with the technology of Solarcare insulation. You'll stay unbelievably warm without sacrificing any movement. The jacket even has six exterior pockets, like one for a ski pass.
7 Sleep Shepherd Blue
Holiday times are stressful and not getting enough sleep can be a major setback for anyone. I've been promoting and working alongside the team of Mind Rocket to help improve users' sleep through technology with the Sleep Shepherd Blue device ($200) and the results are impressive. Sleep Shepherd Blue helps you fall asleep by using soothing binaural tones, all inside an ultracomfy headband. Once you're asleep, it tracks and analyzes your sleep in real time with brainwave sensors and biometric feedback. The device was created by Dr. Michael Larson to help his 17-year-old daughter, who suffered from a sleep disorder.
8 Skybuds
If you're unsure about Apple's AirPods, try Skybuds ($220). They stay snuggly in place and can withstand a grueling workout. They come in various tip sizes, are water resistant, and have a "skydock" charging case. The Skybuds also come with a free app that lets you know how much battery life is left in each earbud.
