Dodow is a device to help anyone sleep better. It is for the person who has a restless mind and finds it hard to turn off their thoughts for the night. Some people take a long time to fall asleep; they cannot shut off what is rattling around their minds and need some assistance to calm and relax their minds and bodies. Dodow is a small device placed on a nightstand and adjusts the brainwaves to turn off the fight or flight response causing the mind to relax. The Dodow slows down breathing causing the body and mind to calm and, in turn, causes the individual to fall asleep faster. It is the perfect tech gift for those who can’t seem to escape their overactive minds.

The Moma Design Store brings a great gift idea during a time of separation. The Lovebox Messenger is a small 1.1-pound bamboo box with an OLED screen inside it.

This little device doubles as a charger and a station to sanitize your phone. It is a well-known fact that cellphones are infested with bacteria, and in times that cleanliness is more important than ever, this charging station is a must-have. You can stick your wallet, keys, cards, phone, and other items inside the station for it to sanitize the contents using UV lights. The UV sanitizer uses LED lights so that it is not harmful to others. Belkin claims that the UV Sanitizer kills 99.99% of bacteria in under ten minutes. After cleaning the phone, the top acts as a wireless charging station. The Boost Charge has an auto shut off feature, one-touch button sanitation, two cleaning modes, and allows your phone to charge simultaneously while other items are sanitizing inside the box. The Boost Charge offers two cleaning modes, a quick clean for three minutes or a deep clean for ten. The Boost Charge UV Sanitizer and Wireless Charger are capable of keeping our most used nonporous items clean.
