Razer Kraken Kitty V2 Bluetooth Headset
Everything is better with cat ears.
At least that’s what cosplayers and a certain segment of the anime and gaming fandom believe.
It’s a philosophy that’s reflected by Razer’s Kraken Kitty V2 Bluetooth Headset.
Designed for gamers and streamers, the Kraken Kitty V2 comes with a built-in microphone that uses an audio pickup pattern that rejects sound from the sides while focusing toward the direction of the user’s voice. To transmit an even clearer voice, the Kraken Kitty V2 also comes with noise canceling technology.
The headphones, meanwhile, support 7.1 surround sound to mimic an eight-channel home theater setup. The earcups also feature a comfortable snug fit to help with marathon gaming sessions.
The cat ears, by the way, aren’t just there for show. Well, actually they are but they also go the extra mile by featuring Razer’s trademark Chroma RGB lighting. This means they can be customized via multiple color patterns, including in response to emotes and alerts.
As far as color options, you can get it in pink or black right meow.
Ausom Scooter
Micromobility is a big thing these days and an electric scooter goes a long way in bridging the gap for shorter commutes.
The Ausom Scooter checks plenty of boxes thanks to its comfortable ride, zippy speed and incredible range. This scooter can actually go up to 50 miles on a single charge, provided you’re not punching the acceleration button at all times.
The Ausom Scooter also comes with an optional seat included for folks who want to ride it while sitting down plus headlights and even turn signal lights. It’s almost like a mini motorcycle.
Throw in pneumatic tires and an assortment of shock absorbers and you have a comfy ride that won’t jar your teeth from every little bump in the road

Bob and Brad EyeOasis 2 Eye Massager
Know someone who works in front of a computer all day and loves to spend time on their smartphone in the dark before going to bed?
If you do, it’s quite likely that said person suffers from dry eyes and eye strain. Let’s just say we know this from, um, experience, OK?
For folks eyeing relief from itchy, pulsating eyeballs, the Bob and Brad EyeOasis 2 Eye Massager just might do the trick. This eye massager does a great job of putting the squeeze on various pressure points on your forehead, temples and cheeks to get that blood flowing. The heated eye patch, meanwhile, helps condition the eyes to address that itchy, dry feeling.
The Bob and Brad EyeOasis 2 Eye Massager also comes with some built-in tunes or can be paired with a smartphone or tablet for folks who want to pipe in their own music via the device.
Note that the device is not recommended for folks with conditions such as cataracts or glaucoma or those who have undergone an eye procedure.
For folks with relatively healthy eyeballs, though, this does a great job in providing relief from eye strain and might even get rid or reduce the pain from headaches.
Armitron Ocean Plastic Wave Wristwatch
Once ubiquitous on people’s wrists, watches have been reduced to mere novelties after the advent of smartphones.
That being said, wristwatches still make for a nice fashion statement these days with some brands such as Rolex even seeing shortages.
For folks who want to sport some style on their wrists while also supporting a good cause, one option is the Armitron Ocean Plastic series of watches. Armitron’s sustainable Ocean Plastic watch collection uses plastic that’s been recovered from the ocean and recycled for use in its timekeeping pieces. At a time when millions of tons of plastic trash find their way into our oceans, every little bit helps in turning the tide against waste. Even the Armitron Ocean Plastic Wave boxes are made from recycled materials.
It certainly helps that the watches also look nice. If you know someone who appreciates environmental causes, the Armitron Ocean Plastic Wave wristwatch could be a fitting present indeed.
