1. OOLER by Chili Technologies - This is our number one recommended product because it has been a "sleep changer" for us!
""Give the gift of sleep!!!! Our number one recommended product of 2019. We first encountered Chili Technologies at the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas in 2019! In a matter of no time we became customers ourselves and can't say enough how much the OOLER has contributed to our well-being and healthy travel! Interrupted sleep is when our sleep is studded with prolonged periods of waking up throughout the night, usually at least four times over the course of eight hours. This condition can be caused by a sudden shift in routine (for example, a new baby in the house), travel, unexpected noises (such as a party at your neighbor’s house or a partner’s snoring), bathroom trips, menopause or other health issues or racing thoughts. Temperature affects your baseline sleep quality and regulating temperature can help you phase shift your sleep for travel and help prevent jet lag. See our full review of OOLER by clicking here!

4. A Great Resource For the Globetrotter of Every Age

Add voice control and a durable waterproof design, and HERO7 Black is the ultimate GoPro for sharing life as you live it.

7. For The Cruiser or Traveler Prone to Motion Sickness
We are all about healthy travel and who could enjoy their trip with motion sickness. Give the newest and highest rated therapy for motion sickness, recently seen at the Consumer Electronics Show! Wanna travel but concerned about seasickness and carsickness? Wanna enjoy the sights from a mountain but altitude sickness just kills your desire?
Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms for many people while driving or traveling by cars, boats, or airplanes, and for many women who are pregnant and experience morning sickness.
While many people take medicines to contrast those symptoms, some people choose to endure them because they do not want to experience the negative side effects of the medicines, which may at times be even worse than what it is meant to treat.
EmeTerm is a product of WAT-Med, a Canadian company specialized in providing innovative products in the field of home medical wearables.
Considering the side effects of current medication and its negative impact on users, WAT-Med develops a therapeutic equipment without medication, i.e., EmeTerm. It can stimulate the median nerve of wrists and block the nausea signals from the brain, thus effectively alleviating symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
EmeTerm, specially designed to provide a comfortable treatment method for patients, is able to alleviate the symptoms of vomiting to the greatest extent and realize significant reduction in medication against these symptoms.
*This is an electrical stimulation device and it is not recommended for use by individuals with an inserted pacemaker, defibrillator or other electrical device. If you are unsure whether this item would be safe for use, consult with your doctor before using.
8. Wireless Earbuds with Noise Cancellation
Apple kicked off the wireless earbuds trend with its AirPods back in 2016. And plenty of other companies have launched competing products since then, including Beats and Samsung. Google has its version coming out in 2020. Here comes Amazon with its newly announced Echo Buds. They're out Oct. 30 and listed at $129.99. They're priced a hair below the cheapest AirPods. This could change things for Black Friday, and consumers could start to see discounts on wireless earbuds. If that happens, and these luxury items become more economical, expect the best deals to sell out.
Enjoy premium sound, limit background noise with Bose Active Noise Reduction, and get up to 5 hours of music playback on a single charge. Advanced microphones give you hands-free access to Alexa—no tapping required.

20. Dodow – Help them Fall Asleep In 20 Minutes Or Less
This new gadget we’ve added to the list was just released in 2018 and is called Dodow. It’s completely disrupting the billion dollar sleeping pill industry in America. Instead of taking harmful and toxic pills to try and fall asleep (that often have you feeling groggy the next morning), millions of Americans are now turning to Dodow. Not only does it help you fall asleep in 20 minutes or less, but it also improves the actual quality of your sleep so that you wake up completely refreshed and ready to start the day!
From the makers of Dodow:
"We believe Dodow provides its users with an all-in-one solution without requiring a significant amount of time or financial investment.
Our solution combines meditation (concentration on breathing), yoga (slow breathing and focusing on abdominal breathing), and Behavourial cognitive therapy (paradoxical intention) to maximize the probability of success and allow the user to sleep better and to regain confidence in his or her ability to sleep. After a few months, he or she will probably be able to sleep normally without Dodow.
Dodow aims to work quickly, effectively and naturally to counteract the effects of stress that are detrimental to sleep. It is also extremely effective from those suffering circadian cycle sleep disorders (jet lag, for example)."
