Lomi Electric Composter

Best for those with a low-waste lifestyle

Composting is the eco-friendly art of recycling food scraps instead of sending them to rot and produce methane in a landfill. (America's food waste problem is abysmal, BTW — the average household wastes almost a third of the food it acquires each year.) The Lomi makes composting possible without a complex outdoor setup. It's about the size of a slow cooker and silently turns food scraps to sprinkle-able garden fertilizer in a few hours — and prevents the trash can from reeking of tossed leftovers.

Ember Mug

Best for the slow coffee drinker

Here's the tea: The Ember mug is a truly next-level product for any and all hot-beverage-drinkers. Especially the slow drinkers who end up reheating the same cup of coffee three times before noon. Through Ember's app, they'll have the ability to select a preferred temperature, to which the mug will adjust on command. Just one charge will give the mug a whole hour of juice, and they can even save temperature presets for different types of drinks.
