Philips UV-C Disinfection Box from Philips (https://www.amazon.com)
Health and wellness is a gift that will mean more this year than in many years past. This holiday season, a great way to give your loved one the gift of safety and peace-of-mind is with the Philips UV-C Disinfection Box from Philips. The company reports that its UV-C disinfection box, fitted with Philips’ UV-C light sources, can inactivate SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19 disease) on surfaces by more than 99% to below detectable levels, providing an easy and effective way to disinfect items like keys, cell phones, toys and other small household items. Using UV-C technology, in just a couple of minutes the box disinfects against a vast host of viruses, bacteria, germs and mites. It’s roomy, so users can place multiple items in the box, close the lid and their personal belongings will be disinfected. The highly reflective interior allows UV-C light to disinfect items more effectively while the stainless-steel chamber ensures each object’s surface is reached, regardless of the way it is facing. This simple and intuitive design allows you and your loved ones to disinfect multiple items at once. Just load your items evenly into the box and select your working mode using the clear digital display. The machine will do the rest.

Muse S Gen 2 Brain-Sensing Headband from Muse (https://choosemuse.com)
Busy days mean busy minds at night and all too often that results in restless sleep. This season, you can give your loved one the priceless gift of renewed focus and a good night’s slumber with the Muse S Gen 2 Headband from Muse.  This comfy brain-sensing headband uses real-time biofeedback to help you refocus during the day and recover overnight. Imagine an intuitive sleep guide that responds to your brain activity, helps you shut off your busy mind and guides you into a restful sleep. This device will also help you learn the art of mediation and, beyond helping you fall asleep, it’ll also help you stay asleep...or go back to sleep if you do awaken during the night. In addition to the headband, Muse has developed Digital Sleeping Pills, or DSP’s, designed to help you through the winding-down process by responding to your brain’s rhythms to help you disengage from your busy mind. Muse S detects the natural changes in your brain activity during sleep and uses those changes to gently fade out your audio using smart fade technology to cue your brain that it’s time for sleep. If you happen to wake during the night, the Muse S will automatically fade in the digital sleeping pill content to guide you back to sleep. Users can select a variety of different DSP’s such as ambient sleep soundscapes, guided sleep meditations or original, classic and adventure sleep stories.
