Sound Room.

Music gifts split into two people: the collector with records and the commuter with a phone. The collector gets the belt-drive turntable that makes the shelf illegal to leave dusty; the commuter gets the clip-on speaker that is sealed against water and dust, runs twelve hours, and out-louds its size.

All under $60. None of them require a subscription conversation.

Gizmos

Cayclay Astronaut Galaxy Star Projector

Turn the ceiling into a nebula. This astronaut-shaped projector rotates a full 360 degrees on a magnetic head, layers stars over colored nebula clouds, and times itself off so nobody falls asleep tapping a remote. The helmet holds the nebula; the base holds the USB.
