Clever03Clever Coffee
__Clever Coffee Dripper__ These plastic coffee drippers make one cup of Joe at a time.

When it's perfectly brewed, you plunk it down on a mug, the valve at the bottom opens automatically, and delicious hot coffee rushes out. $22

Zojirushi07Zojirushi Rice Cooker
__Zojirushi Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker__ Most anyone over the age of 8 will appreciate [a rice cooker](http://amzn.com/B005FVROW6). You put the rice in. You put the water in. You press a button. A short time later, the machine sings a little ditty to let you know your carbohydrates are hydrated and ready to nom. And you can use it for [way more](http://www.amazon.com/The-Pot-How-Use-It/dp/0740791427) than just rice. $130
Fitbit08Fitbit Zip
__Fitbit Zip__ The simplest Fitbit in the company's lineup, [the Zip](http://amzn.com/B0095PZHZE) is little more than a glorified pedometer. It clips to your jeans pocket or your bra and counts your steps. But sync it to your phone, and you get many of the same data collection and analysis tools as the bigger Fitbits, like calories burned, active minutes, and all the social networking features. Great for somebody with weight loss goals. $70
Toblerone09Toblerone
__Toblerone__ Because nothing says "I Love You" like 1 pound, 5 ounces of imported Swiss Chocolate. It's actually a six-pack of 100-gram bars, so [this $11.35 hexagonal brick](http://amzn.com/B0067BUY4I) is a perfect choice for cheapskates with six family members. Also an excellent companion gift to the Fitbit.

The integrated Lightning or micro USB cable means you don't have to worry about also toting a charging cable around, making it doubly handy. $80
Ozeri11Ozeri Wine Opener
__Ozeri Electric Wine Bottle Opener__ A trusty waiter's corkscrew opens a bottle of vino just fine, but [this affordable electric model](http://amzn.com/B006FQUYU4) is better for the klutzy, or those whose hands are slightly arthritic. Or for anyone who wants to open wine with the press of a button. Which is everyone, right? $23
Photojojo12perfect portrait kit
__Perfect Portrait Kit__ Like them or not, selfies are here to stay.
