Editor Quote: "Using the Find My app that's installed on all iPhones, I was able to track our bags from check-in until takeoff, and again when we landed back in the states. I saw them all together in the European airport, and I was even able to track, based on an airport map, that they moved with us when we had to change planes due to an electrical issue." — India Yaffe, former associate editor, Commerce

Best Alarm Clock

Hatch Restore Personalized Sleep Solution ($130)

Wellness aficionados on TikTok rave about this smart alarm clock, which makes waking up easier. The innovative device features a natural light that mimics the gentle hues of the sunrise, easing you out of sleep in a calm and gradual manner. Plus, it also functions as a sound machine and light, with all of its features easily controllable via the accompanying app. Read our review of the Hatch Restore Personalized Sleep Solution.

Editor Quote: "I set my alarm to go off automatically at 7:30 a.m. Monday through Friday, and sure enough, I've woken peacefully every day at that time. Hatch's sunrise alarm (which you can alter the color of) slowly rises as the sun would, and you can choose from a list of sounds to gently wake you. I've really enjoyed this feature for kick-starting my day, as it doesn't feel as intense as a typical alarm does." — Haley Lyndes, former assistant editor, Commerce

Apple Watch Series 8 GPS Aluminum Case With Sport Band ($360, originally $430)

Ready to upgrade your current smartwatch or invest in one for the first time? The Apple Watch Series 8 is the way to go if you want a newer model that combines the device's step and exercise tracking features with even more advanced health tracking, including a sensor that monitors your temperature while you sleep. If you're an outdoor enthusiast, it might be worth considering the Apple Watch Ultra ($800), which one of our editors reviewed in depth to help break down the key differences.

Editor Quote: "Time for the hard truth: most people probably don't need the Apple Watch Ultra. They'll be just fine with all the (admittedly incredible) tools that come with the Apple Watch Series 8 and the latest WatchOS. It's true that the Ultra's souped-up GPS system promises more accurate location data and tracking in dense urban environments as well as in the backcountry — so if you're an avid NYC runner, for example, who despises inaccurate run tracking, there's an argument for the Ultra there. But for the vast majority of people who want a smartwatch they can wear for workouts, to work, to sleep, and while going about their everyday lives, I venture to guess the regular Apple Watch Series 8 will be just fine." — Lauren Mazzo, senior editor, Fitness

Looking for a high-end pair of headphones that delivers exceptional sound quality, comfort, and style? Look no further than the Apple AirPods Max. These over-the-ear headphones boast a sleek and modern design, complete with a knit-mesh headband and memory-foam ear cushions, providing a comfortable fit for hours on end.

Our editors are in love with the them; read a complete review of the Apple AirPods Max.

Editor Quote: "The sound on the AirPods Max is extremely clear — I've never had any issues with music sounding far away or 'tinny.' I can hear every single word of Death Cab For Cutie's 'Title and Registration' as if Ben Gibbard himself were singing into my ears. The headphones also have a 'Digital Crown' button where you can control the volume, answer phone calls, skip music, and use Siri. I love that I don't have to pick up my phone every time I want to turn up the volume." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer

Best Blow-Dryer Brush

Revlon Oval One Step Volumizer Plus Hair Dryer ($70)

Get a salon-quality blowout at home while saving time with this TikTok-famous hair dryer. With three heat and speed settings, a cool-shot button, and an ergonomic handle, this dryer allows you to effortlessly create a voluminous, frizz-free look in no time. It's no wonder why this tool went megaviral on social media; one of our editors even reviewed the Revlon Oval One Step Volumizer Plus Hair Dryer and raved about it.

Editor Quote: "The biggest difference I noticed between this brush and others I've used in the past is how well my hairstyle stayed put. Although I think I've pretty much mastered the '90s blowout, I've often found that the look can fall throughout the day if I don't use a ton of hairspray or texture spray. I didn't use either after the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer, and my flipped-in ends lasted even after a night of sleeping on them." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer

Editor Quote: "It's so easy to use. All that's needed to make a big tumbler of iced coffee are water, ice, and coffee grounds. You simply drop a scoop-full of coffee grounds into the coffee filter at the top of the machine using a handy measuring spoon that comes with the device. Then, you fill a second compartment with water, the exact amount of which is helpfully labeled on the provided tumbler. The final step is to fill the tumbler with water before placing it under the machine's spout and pressing 'over ice.' In just a few minutes, you have yourself a large iced coffee that you can customize any way you like." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing editor, Commerce

Best Ice Cream Maker

Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker ($160, originally $195)

It's no secret that this ice cream maker is a must have given its TikTok fame, but that's also why it's currently sold out. (Be sure to enter your email so you're notified when it's back in stock!) People are obsessed with how easy it is to create great-tasting concoctions from home, as well as healthier frozen alternatives. (Case in point: one content creator transformed a boring can of peaches into a delicious pint of sorbet.) One of our editors put it to the test and deemed it worth the hype. For more, read our review of the Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker.

Editor Quote: "This ice cream machine is great for ice cream aficionados of all kinds. My fiancé and I are most excited about creating healthy-ish ice cream alternatives that don't cost 10 bucks a pint. After devouring our Lite Vanilla Ice Cream With Chocolate Chips, we decided to get a little creative with a can of pineapple (leaving in the juice). We went about the same process as we did with our original cream base ice cream, and were amazed by how it came out looking and tasting like gourmet sorbet." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing editor, Commerce
