3. Nintendo Switch gaming system ($299)
If you listen to The Power Trip Morning Show at all you've probably heard by now but we're all OBSESSED with our Nintendo Switch and have been so since we got them at midnight on release night. It's the perfect combination of a next-gen system that you can dock at home and play on your TV as well as a portable system that you can literally pick up and take with you on the road continuing to play your game on the bus, at work or anywhere your heart desires. The best part for you, the system has been out now for nearly 9 months so you've got great games to choose from including Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 and many more.

4. Vizio M-Series Smart TV (price varies) 
Who wouldn't want a new TV for Christmas, right? Well, if you're the gift giver in this situation I'd advise you to check out the Vizio M-series Smart TVs. I have one in our home and have loved it every step of the way. It's a great TV at an affordable price and the best part, it's wirelessly connected to our network and pulls in Netflix, Hulo, Amazon Prime, iHeartRadio and more to be played on your screen through the TV!

5. Intant-Pot ($75)
No Meatsauce, it's not that kind of instant pot, instead the Instant Pot might be my favorite gift I've given myself already this holiday season. A pressurized crock pot of sorts, the Instant Pot takes long, arduous cooking tasks and cuts the time more than in half. I'm talking taking frozen chicken breasts and having them cooked and shredded in less than ten minutes! It's a slow-cooker, a sauteer, a rice cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, food warmer, pressure cooker and more all in one and it's amazing![Purchase Now]
6. iRobot Roomba [$325]
I've held out long enough and I think this might be the year that we'll have to splash and get a Roomba vacuum cleaner. With a dog and a three year old our house is in a constant state of disarray. It might sounds silly, but not having to worry about vacuuming the floors is a dream come true of mine![Purchase Now]
7. Tile Anything Finder [$60]
Do you find that you are often times misplacing your phone around the house? Your keys? Your purse? That sort of thing NEVER happens and my house...but if it did...wink wink...this would be the perfect gift for us. The small tech product will help you locate your lost keys, phone, or whatever as long as the item is withing blue-tooth range![Purchase Now]
