High-fidelity earplugs to protect their ears during concerts
Vibes High Fidelity Concert Earplugs, $23.98, available at Amazon
If they plan on attending a lot of loud shows as soon as concerts are safe again, their eardrums may be facing the consequences.

Instead, they only filter out certain frequencies, so your recipient will still be able to enjoy the crisp vocals and instrumentation of their favorite band.
A balance bike

A sturdy, inflatable paddle board
Tower Inflatable 10'4" Stand Up Paddle Board, $629.99, available at Amazon
Gift an avid outdoor adventurer this premium paddle board and you'll have a difficult time getting them to return to shore. Its design provides for better balance and stability, while a bottom fin makes it easier to maneuver.

A reusable smart notebook
Rocketbook Everlast Reusable Smart Notebook, Executive Size, $24.64, available at Amazon

BedJet 3 Climate Comfort for Beds, $449, available at Amazon
As an engineer who developed the heating and cooling systems of NASA spacesuits, the creator of BedJet has the perfect background to improve the sleep experience. Since temperature often impedes a good night's sleep, the BedJet blows hot or cold air onto the bed and over their body and creates "biorhythm sleep sequences" throughout the night.
A better protein mixing bottle
Ice Shaker 26-Ounce Stainless Steel Protein Mixing Cup, $35, available at Amazon
The problem with traditional plastic protein powder shakers is that they tend to absorb odor and won't keep the contents cold. Former NFL player Chris Gronkowski's stainless steel water bottle is double-insulated, spill-proof, and odor-free — the upgrade that gym rats deserve.
A drink accessory that keeps their beer cold
BottleKeeper The Standard 2.0, $34.99, available at Amazon
Is there anything more frustrating to an avid beer drinker than a cold one that's less than cold in just half an hour? The insulated stainless steel BottleKeeper, complete with bottle opener, keeps their beer colder for a longer period of time. It's also a smart way to protect against drops and spills.
A funny card game that tests the financial limits of various outrageous scenarios
Pricetitution Card Game, $19.99, available at Amazon
Every card begins with the prompt, "How much money would it take me..." followed by a funny situation. It was a big success on both "Shark Tank," with four Sharks giving offers, and on Kickstarter.
A smart video doorbell
Ring Video Doorbell Pro, Works with Alexa, $249, available at Amazon
Ring may not have secured a deal with the Sharks, but it did strike up a deal with Amazon for over $1 billion last year, so it's doing just fine.

A suction silicone place mat
Ezpz Happy Mat, $24.99, available at Amazon

A rapid ramen cooker
Rapid Ramen Cooker, $9.94, available at Amazon
What seems like a gag gift has actually come in handy for many busy students, parents, and office workers because it takes away the need for a stove and dish-washing session, cooks the noodles more quickly, and requires less water. It's the perfect size for a block of ramen and a faster, more reliable alternative to stovetop cooking.
A pair of lightweight running sandals
