10. Chromecast
Streaming media around your home isn’t a new idea, but the rise of internet-based on-demand services have made it popular. Chromecast is an inexpensive media streaming adapter that turns any HDMI-equipped television into an app-driven smart TV when paired with a phone, tablet or computer. This is a must-have for people who have their media content saved on different devices.

6. Lego AT-AT
If someone tells you LEGOs are for kids, hit the person squarely in the kneecap. Then get back to building your AT-AT, the 1137-piece vehicle that puts to shame all the Star Wars’ figures you tried to build when you were a kid.
