1. Apple WatchÂ

Even though the Apple Watch isn’t new this year, many people are still dying to buy one. It has a few different series, each with different features and prices. I think they are pretty cool, and the fact that you can get messages and call people from a watch is wild. The prices range from $249 to $1299.Â
2. iPhone X

The iPhone X is brand-spanking new. It just came out this fall along with the 8 and 8 plus. I have a friend with the X and I think it is the weirdest thing. There is no home button so you have to use face recognition to open your phone, which is actually pretty cool.
3. Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch also came out in 2017. It is a gaming console that you can connect to a TV. You can play games with up to eight friends or you can play alone and take it anywhere with you. The coolest feature to me is that you can have friends connect with their phones or tablets and play along with you! Â
4. Snapchat SpectaclesÂ

Snapchat Spectacles came out in 2016, but they were hard to get. This year, they are available on Amazon in all different colors! They are $129 and qualify for Prime shipping! They are pretty neat; they remind me of a Go Pro, but you can post directly to Snapchat!
5. Amazon Echo/Tap

Amazon has come out with many similar products: Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Plus, Amazon Tap. All these products have Alexa, a virtual assistant that will play music or create a shopping list for you. They are all very similar but range in their prices depending on which one you get!
