Every item on this page was chosen by a Town & Country editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

“Is this technically a tech thing? Maybe not, but it’s a gadget and that might be as close as I get. I believe you know by now that at T&C, we believe in the rule of CARRY-ON only (!!) which means you will always have your clothes but often they are very wrinkled (I use the roll method to get everything into my Rimowa so you can imagine). This steamer is small enough to fit into that small suitcase too and it’s effective. As soon as I get to my hotel I steam what I plan to wear for the first few days and there you go, I’m all set.” —Stellene Volandes, Editor in Chief

“My favorite piece of home tech are these wifi-controlled Philips Hue lightbulbs. The biggest perk: They let me turn off the lights in my apartment from the comfort of my bed.” —Emily Burack, News Writer

“The Hermès of audio is the California-based brand Marantz, best known for state-of-the-art amplifiers and AV receivers. But its minimalist record player, the TT-15S1, is like the Birkin of turntables, a status symbol for music and gadget snobs alike.” —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director

“As someone who lives with a chronic pain condition, I am always on the hunt for tech to make my day to day life easier. This on-the-go heating patch is my latest addition. Not only can I slap it on areas where I’m experiencing tightness and tension without much of a second thought, but it is also small enough that I don’t sweat how much precious space it takes in my carryon bag. Because #carryononly is a lifestyle.” —Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director

“Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you I love a beauty gadget. Even more so if the results are instant. Which they are with the new ZIIP Halo. I love the guided tutorials that come with this micro-current device, almost as much as the instant depuffing, toning, lift I get every time I reach for it. I highly recommend.” —Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director

“As someone who is constantly traveling, I always keep an Apple AirTag in my luggage to keep track of its whereabouts in case anything goes awry—as it always seems to!” —Dania Ortiz, Fashion and Accessories Director

“Having a dog with separation anxiety can make it challenging to leave home. After installing these cameras from Aqara in my apartment, I now have more peace of mind stepping out of the house. They connect to my Apple Homekit, so it makes checking on my pup super easy with my iPhone while I’m on the go.” —MaryKate Boylan, Senior Fashion Editor

“As much as I’d love to schedule a massage every four weeks, it’s not always feasible with my schedule. This mini massager is a godsend because it allows me to knead away tightness from the comfort of my couch. It’s also come in handy post-workout, when my muscles are feeling achy. 10/10 from me.” —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor

Sleep Number Sleep Number I8

“As those close to me know, I take my sleep very seriously. I recently got a new mattress from Sleep Number and I didn’t think it was possible for my sleep to get any better than it already was. The smart bed is inherently cooling and it allows me choose my comfort level based on how I am feeling straight from my phone. So when I am feeling lower back pain, I set my mattress to a softer setting, and when my upper back is feeling it, I raise it up a notch to a firmer setting. I got my bed with one of their smart bases, which lets me adjust the head and foot of my bed for ultimate relaxation. It also has a timed foot warmer setting, which is a total gamechanger during the colder months.” —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor

“Speaking of sleep, I am not an early morning person. Despite getting 8 hours of zzzs on my Sleep Number mattress every night, I find it so hard to wake up any time before 8am. But the Hatch Restore has made early morning rises seamless; it mimics a gentle sunrise while simultaneously playing soothing music. None of those annoying blaring noises! Plus, it looks unbelievably sleek on my nightstand.” —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor

“I just started using this at-home non-fractional laser on my crow’s feet a few days ago, so I can’t yet report on results, but I can profess my love for the device itself. It’s small, easy to use, and quick—I can treat both eyes in under 3 minutes. With any beauty device, compliance is key, and Nira already has me promisingly addicted.” —April Long, Beauty Director
