Ninja Air Fryer
Air fryers are some of the most popular holiday gifts! Recipients will enjoy superior air-fried foods with the Ninja® Air Fryer.
Air-fried foods contain up to 75 percent less fat than traditional frying methods, without sacrificing flavour! In fact, the flavours are allowed to come through without being overwhelmed by the greasy taste associated with deep frying. We use our Ninja® Air Fryer for everything from seasoned potato wedges to chicken strips to hors devours.
The Ninja® Air Fryer functions as a dehydrator as well, which adds a whole new level of healthy holiday options. It's easy to make nutritious vegetable chips and dips for snacking or entertaining. Plus, dehydrated food has a long shelf life so you can prepare them far in advance for yourself or as gifts.

Smoothie Bowl Maker & Personal Blender
Everything the health-conscious elf wants in a personal blender can be had with this multi-functional, powerful appliance.

We use the Power Nutri Duo most in the Summer, taking advantage of fresh berries for cool, nutritious smoothies.

SmartTORQUE is designed to power through heavy loads without stirring, shaking or stalling.
14 oz Power Nutri Bowl with Power Paddle cuts through frozen foods with less liquid, resulting in thicker smoothie bowls, nut butters, and blender ice cream.

Shark® WANDVAC™ System
With a Maine Coon cat in the house, I'm no stranger to cleaning fur from the floors... and all kinds of other places that fur has no business being. Luckily, the Shark® WANDVAC™ is built to tackle pet fur and is always at hand for other jobs. I can reach the cobwebs up high, the crumbs down below, and every surface in between without a cord getting in the way. The lightweight design houses a powerful, cordless 3-in-1 vacuum that will surprise you with its HyperVelocity® accelerated suction and Power Boost function, making it as mighty as its corded cousins.
Also Featuring:
Cordless with a portable charging base
Bagless & and one-touch emptying
PowerFins dig down deep
Self-cleaning brushroll
Tools for cleaning up pet hair and getting into hard-to-reach places

Shark® AI VACMOP™ Robot Vacuum and Mop
"Alexa! Mop the floor!"
The future holds robot housekeepers and with the Shark AI VACMOP™, that future is now. This compact robot combines powerful vacuum suction with hard floor mopping, for a complete clean without the backbreaking work. There's no better gift than that.
The Shark AI VACMOP™ combines vacuuming and mopping with an app for high-tech, hands-off cleaning. It scours even the most heavily-soiled places and powers through pet fur (which our Maine Coon cat leaves in puffy piles all over the house). The self-cleaning brushroll grabs hair without wrapping, saving you countless hours of cleaning the unit itself.
With IQ Navigation™ and AI Laser Vision, the VACMOP™ will bypass carpets while it’s mopping, and even avoid objects and respond to no-go zones as it cleans. Let the VACMOP™ map out the living space and simply control zones through the easy-to-use app on your phone. Sonic mopping agitates the pad at 100 scrubs per minute to break down and whisk away dirt and messes. The Shark AI VACMOP™ works with Alexa, Google Assistant, or Wi-Fi. It was tested by us using WiFi.
Featuring:
VACMOP™ mode powerfully vacuums and mops your floors at the same time.
VAC MODE uses incredible suction to take on large debris, small debris, and pet hair on carpets & floors.

Bright Smart Wi-Fi Outdoor Plug
Here's an inexpensive gift they didn't know they needed, but will soon be considered indispensable. Easily control outdoor lights with an app or voice command via Wi-Fi, individually or grouped. No smart hub is required, but it is compatible with Google Home and Alexa. This outdoor, right-angle plug has a 16cm cord and is weather-resistant.Ninja® Foodi™ Compact Pressure Cooker, Fryer & Crisper
Who doesn't want to get meals on the table up to 70% faster? Give them several appliances in one with the Ninja® Foodi™ Compact Pressure Cooker, Fryer & Crisper! I love the option of cooking food fast in a pressure cooker, but some foods need a little browning or crisping to be perfect.
Now I don't have to fool around with an oven to make meals table-ready. In fact, I can use the TenderCrisp option, steamer, or air fry a side dish, all without getting out another appliance. Last night it was almost 4 lbs of crispy turkey breast, air-fried mini potatoes and steamed green beans in under an hour, using one appliance.
The compact version makes just enough for 1-2 adults, or it can be used as a second appliance when larger versions are busy cooking up the main meal. It's the perfect holiday gift for your favourite busy cook.
Also Featuring:
5-quart ceramic-coated pot
3-quart Cook & Crisp™ Basket
7 functions: pressure cook, air fry/air crisp, steam, bake/roast, slow cook, yogurt, and sear/sauté
Non-stick and dishwasher safe
Chef-inspired cookbook & charts

Primo Bottom-Loading Cold & Hot Water Cooler
I have the Primo water cooler/heater in my home office (a slightly different model in all black). It looks so much nicer with the water hidden away underneath and its way easier to load. I drink a lot more water by having it within reach of my desk. I don't use the hot water and appreciated the option to turn it off, which makes it safer for kids too. There's an LED nightlight, along with indicator lights to let you know when its cooling or it's time to replace the water.

Ninja® Foodi™ Power Blender & Processor System
With Smoothie Bowl Maker and Nutrient Extractor
I've been experimenting with making low-sugar treats to satisfy my insatiable sweet tooth, along with healthier meals. Unfortunately, I'm a busy and somewhat lazy cook, so I hadn't done as much as I planned. Now that I have a Ninja® Foodi™ Power Blender & Processor System with Smoothie Bowl Maker and Nutrient Extractor, everything is easier and I'm able to cut the prep in half! I can chop, puree or mix with one appliance that powers through anything I toss into it.

Sony Over-Ear Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones
Whether you're working at home or homeschooling, it's important to be able to block out noise and bring in clear sound. A set of over-ear, noise-cancelling headphones is something I just can't do without, and Sony offers even more useful features. For example, their One Push Artificial Intelligence Noise Cancelling (AINC) adjusts to your environment, so you can eliminate unwanted sound as you navigate noisy environments. The built-in battery provides up to 35 hours of listening, with handy USB recharging.

Arlo Wi-Fi Smart Video Doorbell
With home security threats on the rise, a video doorbell to catch porch pirates and ID visitors is a must. The Arlo Smart Video Doorbell offers head-to-toe views and 180° diagonal viewing angle. The unit calls your phone when motion is detected or someone rings the doorbell, displaying live video. You can even hear and speak to visitors if you wish, either in real time or with prerecorded messages. For added security, you can remotely activate a siren or have it sound automatically in response to specified events. See and record detailed images with HD Video with HDR and night vision.
Samsung TU7000 65” Crystal 4K UHD Smart TV
Quality home entertainment has gone from a nice-to-have to essential, and this Samsung Crystal 4K UHD Smart TV takes your home setup to a full cinema experience. I was struck by the significant improvement over my previous TV as soon as I turned this one on. The Crystal Display colour and High-Dynamic Range detail are truly amazing, especially by comparison to older flat screen TV models. The remote control recognizes the devices you connect automatically.
