Best AI gifts of 2025 — 11 smart gadgets that make perfect presents

Curio Voice
The Curio is a small plush toy that listens, learns and converses with kids. You can choose from three characters — Grok, Gabbo, and Grem — which use cloud-based AI to respond to your child, play music, and tell stories. If the outer plush part gets dirty, you can separate it from the electronics to give it a wash. And, while it needs to be connected to Wi-Fi to work, there’s no subscription. When we reviewed the Curio, our kids were certainly intrigued.

Google TV Streamer
Don’t know what to watch? One of the best streaming devices, the Google TV Streamer uses Gemini AI to help generate summaries of shows and movies and encapsulate reviews. And, you can use it to try and find something that everyone will like, simply by asking it a question like “I want a sci-fi movie with a romance and furry aliens that’s good for children.” No more arguing over the remote!

Acer Aspire 16 AI
Stylish, productive, and affordable, the Acer Aspire 16 AI is powered by a Snapdragon® X Series processor with an intelligent NPU and multi-day battery life that keeps up with your life. With unrivaled performance and a partnership with Microsoft Copilot+, the Acer Aspire is designed to help you get everything done with ease.

Stickerbox
What kid doesn’t love stickers? Well then how about a device that makes stickers based on whatever they ask? That’s the premise behind the Stickerbox, which uses AI to interpret your child’s imagination and turn it into something they can stick onto something in seconds. And, the Stickerbox doesn’t have a camera or collect voice information — all it does is make stickers, simple as that.

Anker Soundcore Aerofit 2
If you know someone who’s planning to travel to a foreign country and isn’t up to speed on the local language, these open-ear earbuds could be just the thing. That’s because, when paired with the Anker app, they use AI to translate up to 100 languages in real time. And they can go the distance: The buds have up to 10 hours of battery life, with an additional 42 in the case. Because they have an open-ear design, you’ll still be able to hear the world around you.

Miko 3
This little AI-powered toy can roll around and interact with your kids, play music, and create challenges and games based on your child’s responses. It also has a 4.7-inch touchscreen with two-way calling, so you can talk to your kid through the Miko app. And, it has a bunch of activities from Disney, Paramount, and Da Vinci kids, ranging from puzzles to coding. Keep in mind you’ll need a subscription ($8.25/month) to get the most out of it.

Casio Moflin
If you have a loved one that’s looking for some furry companionship, but is allergic to cats or dogs — or simply can’t take care of them — then the Moflin could be the answer. This little furball uses AI to shape its personality based on how you interact with it — it responds to your voice and being petted and scratched by moving around and making some of the most adorable sounds ever.

Oakley Meta Vanguard smart glasses
Do you know a runner, triathlete, or fitness junkie who wants to get all the data they can? When paired with a Garmin smartwatch, the Oakley Meta Vanguard smart glasses will call out real-time stats as you’re exercising, and even put together a highlight reel of photos and videos during your workout, using the 3K camera built into the glasses. The glasses have Meta AI, so you can also use them to identify objects, signs, and answer just about any question you might have. They look pretty slick, too.

Chessnut Evo AI Chessboard
Know someone who’s obsessed with chess? This high-end board uses AI to not only help analyze your moves to improve your game, but can imitate the play style of nearly anyone based on their history. You can also customize the levels of difficulty, and the board illuminates to show you the optimal move in any situation. A large touchscreen to one side of the board lets you tweak all sorts of settings and try out moves in advance. Check and mate.

Google Pixel 10
A lot of the best smartphones have AI, but the Pixel 10 is our favorite, because you get all of the same AI features of higher-end Pixel phones for a fraction of the price. In our Google Pixel 10 review, we loved its zoom lens, bright display, AI photo editing tools, and voice translation, among other things. It’s one of the best values around. In our Google Pixel 10 review, we called it “the biggest upgrade in years.”

Urtopia Carbon 1 E-Bike
The Urtopia Carbon 1 stands out from other e-bikes with its built-in AI (based on ChatGPT) that can offer real-time feedback, and can respond to your commands via voice, such as changing gears or turning on the lights. It can also give you tips and voice navigation while you’re riding. On top of that, it’s a cool-looking bike. Its step-through design makes it accessible for many, and, thanks to its carbon-fiber frame, it’s a super-light 36 pounds, yet you can get up to 80 miles on a charge.
