Top 100 Gadget Trends in December

From Ambient Lighting Alarms to Tabletop 3D Printers

— December 26, 2014 — Tech
As demonstrated by the top December 2014 gadget concepts, the change in seasons brings a focus to the home, holidays, as well as fitness and the fresh start that comes with the arrival of a new year.

One of the neatest gadgets to play around with this Christmas season are a set of app-connected Lumenplay Lights, which make it so that you can customize the glowing hues from a range of over 16 million colors. On the more serious side, Philips' goLITE BLU is a small but handy gadget to have in the home, particularly if you find that you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder.

When it comes to the role gadgets can play in self-improvement for those looking to start thinking about health or fitness-focused resolutions, wearable tech continues to be immensely popular, like the BSXinsight cuffs that measure lactate levels in the body when running or cycling.
