WHAT Roku Express 4K Plus
THE COST $39.99
AVAILABLE FROM roku.com
With the most streaming app options and most user-friendly streaming platform interface, Roku is the best streaming system, and the Express 4K Plus streaming media player is arguably the best value streamer out there right now (yes, it supports 4K HDR streaming).
Also, thanks to the AirPlay update, this Roku device is one of the least expensive ways to connect your iPhone or other Apple device to your TV. It's also cheaper than the company's Streaming Stick 4K Plus and other 4K HDR streaming devices. As a bonus, Roku is throwing a free 30-day trial to Starz, Showtime and Epix.

WHAT Logitech Lift mouse
THE COST $69.99
AVAILABLE FROM logitech.com
Logitech makes a lot of mice and they're all designed to be comfortable to use. Products in its Ergo Series line, which now includes the new Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse, are supposed to offer extra ergonomic advantages. In the case of the Lift, Logitech says its 57-degree vertical design "lifts your wrist into a more natural position" and "takes pressure off the wrist, while promoting a more natural forearm posture throughout the day."

One of the key differences between this model and the company's first vertical mouse, the MX Vertical from 2018, is that the Lift is more compact and designed for people with small to medium-size hands. Also, instead of using a rechargeable battery, it's powered by a single AA battery that can last up to two years. It's available in three colors as well as a lefthanded version (available in graphite only).
WHAT Theragun Mini massager
THE COST $199
AVAILABLE FROM therabody.com
First released in 2020, the 1.5-pound Theragun Mini massager is designed to be portable, easily fitting in a backpack or purse. While it doesn't have quite the power of one of Theragun's full-size devices, it's surprisingly powerful considering how small it is. Compared to larger massage guns in this price range, it's just as powerful but half the size. The rechargeable battery is rated to last 2.5 hours, and a neoprene protective case is included.
