AirTec Air Duster - $37
You might think a plug-in air duster would be a boring gift, but just wait until you see the joy in the eyes of anyone who turns this thing on and blasts away the layers of dust on their keyboards, in their gaming consoles, and on any other surface of their home. An electric air duster is a huge upgrade to the canned stuff. Shop Now!

Ring Pet Tag - $9.99
If you've got a pet owner in your life, consider this new product from Ring. It's not high-tech on its own — it's just a little metal tag with a QR code on it — but it's technically part of Amazon's Ring network. You register the QR code by scanning it with the Ring app and setting up a profile for your pet. Then, when anyone scans the QR code on your pet's collar, you're notified the moment it happens, and the person can help you reunite with your lost pet. Given Ring's brand recognition, I feel folks are more likely to scan the QR code on the tag if they spot it. Take a look!
