I've tested a variety of portable Bluetooth speaker brands over the past two decades. Most of the time, I connected these speakers to my smartphone and streamed music for backyard gatherings, beach outings, drive-in movies, and other events with family and friends. The most common issue I had with these speakers was finding out the hard way that they're dead -- all because I forgot to charge them in advance.

IKEA's GREJSIMOJS collection started with a dog-shaped lamp that dims when you hold its head for bedtime, turning a light switch into something closer to petting a sleepy puppy. The limited collection is more than just about cute animals, but also about playful behavior baked into everyday objects. That same thinking now shows up in a tiny Bluetooth speaker shaped like a mouse, with four stubby legs and a braided tail that doubles as a carry loop.

Chances are this does exactly what you need. It will play your old CDs, your new CDs, your homemade mixtapes, the whole nine yards. You can even listen wirelessly thanks to onboard Bluetooth. It's got a decent battery life that can last you up to six hours, and it uses a USB-C to recharge. We usually have one of those on hand.

A dependable portable Bluetooth speaker is one of those essentials you don't realize you need until the moment music is missing. Whether you're hosting friends in your living room, hanging out in the backyard, spending a day at the beach, or heading off on a weekend camping trip, good sound can completely define the mood. Phone speakers sitting in red cups simply don't cut it, and that's where a powerful option like the JBL Boombox 4 earns its place.

Motorola unveiled the Razr 60 FIFA World Cup 26 Edition, a limited-edition model for FIFA fans. The clamshell foldable features a soft textured rear panel with patterns associated with the FIFA World Cup. It is available in a green color option, while offering the same specs as the standard Razr 60. Users will also get custom wallpapers, a FIFA theme ringtone, and a FIFA watermark for photos.

It's easy to see how the DJI Mic Mini (2 TX + 1 RX + Charging Case), a portable and lightweight wireless microphone system will help your video, vlog, interview, and live streaming have professional-quality sound. No longer do you need to be bothered by having cables getting in the way of capturing your best shots; the DJI Mic Mini has got you covered by bringing clear, top-notch sound directly to your smartphone, camera, or laptop.

The best stocking stuffers aren't the ones that fill space-they're the ones that get plucked out first, pocketed before breakfast, and quietly claimed before anyone else notices. These are the gifts that punch above their price tag, blending clever design with genuine utility in a package small enough to tuck into a sock but compelling enough to become someone's new everyday carry. They're the kinds of objects that spark conversations, solve real problems, and feel impossibly thoughtful for something that costs less than dinner.
