Top Picks (sponsored & Editor’s Choice)
1. Ultrahuman Ring Air
A viable alternative to the Oura Ring 4, you get a similar experience with the Ultrahuman Ring Air without the need for a subscription. The ring itself along with the app design isn’t as refined, and the battery doesn’t last as long. But there are a lot of unique things about the Ultrahuman Ring Air, which is among my top three smart rings (alongside Oura Ring 4 and Luna Ring). What sets it apart are PowerPlugs, housed in a platform within the app. Download ones you want to make the experience more personalized. Most are free, including insights like circadian rhythm, cycle tracking, caffeine window, and vitamin D. Advanced PowerPlugs like Afib detection are available for a small fee. There’s even a pregnancy mode and a PowerPlug for people who work shifts, adjusting measurements based on the atypical schedule. It’s a highly personalized smart ring experience, tracking all the vitals and metrics you’d possibly want to monitor fitness, health, and wellness. Get the ring for $480 through Erikson Consumer.

2. Apple Watch Series 11 Smartwatch
Perhaps I’m biased since I’m an iPhone user, but for anyone on your list who is into fitness and uses iPhone, the Apple Watch is the best smartwatch to get. And the Apple Watch Series 11 the perfect upgrade if they’re still using an older model, from Series 8 and older. It boasts a slimmed down design with more screen real estate, a more durable screen with a Liquid Glass look, increased battery life at up to 24 hours per charge, and new colours. Many of the features that come with it are part of watchOS 26, which is compatible with older models from Series 6 and SE 2 up. These include Sleep Score, Workout Buddy, Smart Stack with live actions and hints, wrist flick gestures, and more. Apple Watch Series 11 is available in 42mm and 46mm sizes in Jet Black, Rose Gold, Silver, and new Space Grey aluminum cases, as well as polished titanium in Natural, Gold, and Slate. It starts at $549 and comes with three months of Apple Fitness+ and Apple Music for new subscribers. Read my review.

Nike Air Max 1 Stranger Things Limited Edition Shoes
If you have a teen or young adult who plays sports, chances are they have at one point in time asked for a pair of Nike Air Max 1s. The popular sports apparel brand has now come out with a pair of the shoes that celebrate the launch of Netflix series Stranger Things Season 5. The white and red shoes include the show’s logo on the insoles and are inspired by nostalgic ’80s design. There are also subtle detailed inspired by the show along with celebratory packaging that makes them a great gift. They’re not just for show, though.

Beyerdynamic Amiron Open-Ear Headphones

Oura Ring 4 Smart Ring
There are a couple things to note with Oura Ring 4. First, as with any smart ring, you need to order the sizing kit, wrap that, and give it to them. Once they try it on for size and confirm the right one, then you can order it. For this reason, you might want to let the gift cat out of the bag before Christmas so you can wrap the real thing under the tree. Second, it does require a subscription to get the most out of it. You can start them out with the first year and renew as your annual holiday gift: a nice bonus since you don’t have to worry about what to get every year! Now, the ring itself. The Oura Ring 4 is ultra-durable, made of titanium all around. It’s super-slim with recessed sensors and comfortable to wear. It passively tracks all the usual stats, from sleep to activity, along with heart rate, blood oxygen, stress, readiness, and more. Smart Sensing in this new model ensures continuous data capture, even when you fidget with the ring or it moves around while you sleep. It automatically detects activities, like walks, runs, and certain exercises. Ladies will love the new women’s health features, including menopause and perimenopause tracking. It comes in Brushed Silver, Gold, Rose Gold, Silver, Stealth, and an updated Black finish with a glossy, tungsten PVD coating for improved durability and a deeper black look. The ring is $470 in Canada, and the subscription is $90/yr. or $8/mo. Read my review. Buy the Oura Ring 4.
Apple AirPods 3 True Wireless Earbuds
A great gift for any iPhone owner, the Apple AirPods 3 true wireless earbuds are a worthy upgrade even for someone who already has an old pair, offering improved active noise cancellation (ANC), integrated heart rate sensing, and extended battery life. They afford a better, more secure fit while wearing them for activities like running, HIIT, and yoga thanks to the smaller design and five included foam-infused ear tip sizes, starting with a new XXS size. A new PPG sensor can measure heart rate right from the buds using the measurement of light absorption in blood flow. Track more than 50 workout types and access the new Workout Buddy with Apple Intelligence for personalized, motivational insights. If you use Apple Fitness+ with AirPods 3, you can see real-time performance metrics on screen, including heart rate, calories burned, progress towards closing the Move ring, and Burn Bar. The buds add Live Translation to simplify face-to-face conversations with someone who doesn’t speak the same language. If the other person doesn’t have this capability, you can use the iPhone as a horizontal display to show the live transcription. They start at $329 and come with a three-month Apple Music and Apple Fitness+ trial for new subscribers. Buy the Apple AirPods 3.
Google Pixel Watch 4 Smartwatch
For Android phone owners, especially those who have a Google Pixel device, the Google Pixel 4 smartwatch comes with a domed Actua 360 display, brighter screen, and Material 3 Expressive for greater personalization through new clock faces and glanceable UIs. The custom haptic engine is stronger while there’s an upgraded custom speaker as well. Bottom line: it’s worth an upgrade if they’re still sporting the gen-one model.
