Each year our favorite tech magazine, Wired, graces our presence with a pop up store for the holidays. Featuring some of the coolest products of the year, the Wired Store is basically a live gift guide for the tech lover in your life. We attended the store opening last night to check out some of the goodies offered this year, and we definitely weren’t disappointed. Here’s a round up of some of our favorite items they’re offering, and the reasons you definitely need to stop by if you’re in NYC.
The Wired Store
459 W. 14th Street
New York, NY
Open December 11th – December 21st
3D Robotics IRIS+
Personal Drone
There is no shortage of awesome electronics at the Wired Store, and this was the first one to catch our eye. Whether you’re spying on wildlife, surveying land, or chasing your brother-in-law around the yard, this will be the greatest toy you’ve played with in years. Plus, it records all your outings (if you choose) so you can sit back and relive the awesomeness over and over. Gifts should make you feel like a kid again, and this is the perfect gift to do that.
Available at the Wired Store, or Online for $750.
BACtrack
Vio Smartphone Breathalyzer
It’s a simple thing that can save your ass (and your wallet) in the long run. Just hook up the mouthpiece to your keys, or toss it in your pocket and use the bluetooth capability to read your BAC right on your smartphone. It even estimates how long it will take for your BAC to return to a safe driving number. With such a useful device, those of you in cities that insist you drive everywhere no longer have any excuse for getting a DUI, and that is something to get excited about.
Available at the Wired Store, or Online for $49.99
Om/One
Levitating Bluetooth Speaker
For the futuristic, music loving, techy. This is the first ever levitating, (yes, I said levitating) speaker. There are countless speakers out there that sound great, a lot of them even look the part, but this is the only one that will bring your home audio into the next generation.
Available at the Wired Store, or Online for $199.99
SWASH
Express Clothing Care System
We here at Life, Tailored love great technology, but as you know, we also love clothing. This brings our great loves together. The SWASH is essentially your at-home-dry-cleaner. Throw in your outfit, and 10 minutes later your clothes are pristine, which is something we can definitely get behind.
Available at the Wired Store, or Online for $499.
Wacaco
Minipresso GR
Yes, this is a handheld, portable espresso machine. And yes, we agree, that is amazing. Whether you’re enjoying nature and are caught without a Starbucks in sight, or you just really prefer to make your own drink on the train, this is the perfect solution.
Available in the Wired Store, or Online for $44.95
Black Diamond Equipment
Hot Forge Hoody
Technology doesn’t always mean electronics. The new Hot Forge Hoody from Black Diamond Equipment is the perfect example of awesome technology being used in a practical way. They have managed to keep their new jacket trimmer and lighter than others, while still keeping you warmer than the competition, even when you’re wet.
Available at the Wired Store, or Online for $349.
Dyson
360 Eye Robot
Taking automatic vacuums to a whole new level, the Dyson 360 Eye Robot has the power of a Dyson, complete with cameras and a I’ll do it myself attitude. The camera captures up to 30 frames per second so it knows exactly where it needs to clean without dinging up your trim along the walls. Plus, it looks high-tech and your dog will love chasing it around the house (we assume). Oh yeah, and you control the entire thing with your smartphone, naturally.
Check it out at the Wired Store, or Online before the masses learn all about it.
