A good night’s sleep is crucial to our well-being, and there’s no time like the present to get your bedtime routine in order — or help a friend solidify a healthy nighttime regimen. The Hatch Restore combines an alarm clock, sound machine, sunrise alarm, smart light and meditation app in one sleek smart assistant that takes up little real estate on your nightstand.

You can create and personalize a morning and nighttime routine that will help you fall asleep and stay asleep.

The sunrise alarm will transform your mornings, too. You can wake up to a sound with 10 different sunrise hues to choose from, like Portland Lighthouse, Morning in Prague and — my personal favorite — Hiking in the Dawn.

You can even choose from Vitruvi's huge selection of single-origin essential oils, blends and themed kits, like the Unwind Kit with their Dusk, Quiet, Nightcap and Sleep blends.

If they sit at a desk all day, they'll appreciate this smart wellness tool. Therabody’s Theragun Prime will help soothe tightness and tension and ease discomfort without a trip to the chiropractor.

Why waste drinking time (or even the drink itself) when you could use this clever system to pour a glass?
