Samsung Z Flip3
I love my Note 9 but I sure wish someone would gift me with the new Z Flip3. It not only looks cool, but I'd finally have a phone that fit into my jean pocket without falling out. Plus: 5G. Santa??

Nintendo Switch OLED
The Switch is our family’s go-to console. My son and I can play fun games at home but easily pack it up to entertain ourselves on long holiday road trips. The screen? Amazing! A gotta-have this year.

Apple AirTag
When I inevitably lose my car keys, I’ll be happy an AirTag is attached to them. Finding it via Apple Maps is nice, but its “You’re this far away” feature is what sold me on it. And it’s only $30.
