ORGANIZATION
Apple AirTag https://www.apple.com/airtag
This year I’m looking at Apple AirTag as the latest in devices to save me from my own forgetfulness. Losing track of my wallet or keys could be a thing of the past. I might even stick one to the ketchup so I can always find it in the back of the fridge! Tim Carlson, Technology Design Engineer
Rocketbook https://getrocketbook.com
A smart notebook like this (several models are available) would allow me to keep my notes all in one place and help save the planet at the same time. Chip Chapman, President
Rocketbook Fusion notebook
Rocketbook Beacons https://getrocketbook.com/products/
Four orange, re-stickable triangles (think old-school tabletop football game) attach to any standard whiteboard. These beacons convert it to a smartboard and save content to the cloud. Chip Chapman, President
FITNESS AND WELLNESS
Hatch Restore Smart Sleep Assistant https://www.hatch.co
Beauty sleep is important to me, and this promises to help with just that. I’m dreaming of its soft reading light, wind-down content like guided meditations, and custom sunrise alarm. Emily Chapman, Account Executive
Hatch Smart Sleep Assistant
Tonal https://www.tonal.com/product/tonal
The biggest draw for this is the fact that it learns from your workouts and tracks your gains over time! Colleen McLain, Communications Specialist
NordicTrack Treadmill https://www.treadmillreviews.com
I could use it in rain, snow, or heat and never have to go outside and face the elements. Anita Rymer, Account Executive
Ember mug https://ember.com/products/ember-mug
As someone who sips on coffee and tea throughout the day, this is high on my wish list! It allows you to set the temperature of your drink, then maintains it for 1.5 hours. The battery life is even longer when you set it down on the charging coaster! Emily Chapman, Account Executive
NordicTrack Vault Complete https://www.nordictrack.com/vault
As a parent of 4 children, the long hours make it hard to find gym time. It is part of my dream to be a fun, friendly, and healthy family. The Vault combines the support of a personal trainer, equipment, and training into any room in the house. David Lindsay-Johnson, Office Manager
CREATIVE PROJECTS
SHOTBOX https://shotbox.me
This would help to capture all of my son’s artwork (both 2-D and 3-D) to put into my scrapbook albums, as well as to digitize old photos and completed scrapbooks to store in a safe place in case the original is damaged or display the back-up and store the original in a safe place. Jena Evans, Permit Coordinator
Saturn Series 3D Printer https://www.elegoo.com/collections/saturn-series
As 3D printers continue to advance with technology, it’s time I got on board with one. Kraig Pritchett, Project Manager
SPLEDRING Clip-On LED Ring Light https://www.arkon.com/product/SPLEDRING
I could use this for impromptu remote video calls and low-light selfies. Jena Evans, Permit Coordinator
Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 or Instax Square SQ1 https://www.fujifilm.com
I loved my instant camera as a kid, blurry photos and all! This nostalgic pick is definitely an upgrade with a modern twist, and the instant gratification of a printed image. Rebecca Chapman, Business Development Manager
MUSIC
Beats headphones https://www.beatsbydre.com
The Bose Solo3 Wireless headphones are perfect for listening to my favorite playlists on the go. The foldable design, 40 hours of battery life, and the ability to take calls are all reasons these headphones are on my wish list this year. Emily Chapman, Account Executive
Sony, Bose or Apple noise cancelling earbuds https://www.cnet.com/tech
These would definitely help me hear my music or book on tape better when I’m cutting the grass or doing other noisy work. Chip Chapman, President
HOBBIES
Starscope https://www.shopstarscope.com
This portable tool is perfect for star gazing in the backyard or exploring nature while on the trails in Delaware County and Hocking Hills. Chip Chapman, President
Starscope
Onyx Boox https://onyxboox.com with AirTurn https://store.airturn.com
The Boox would be ideal for keeping the sheet music that I play. I use a software package for keeping my music in order and notating on, and this would allow for easier reading when performing outside in direct sunlight. And the AirTurn foot pedal would make it easy to turn pages on the new tablet. Eric Evans, Senior Technology Engineer
