Looking to make your life a little easier, but not ready to commit to a full smart-home makeover? Well, you've come to the right place: from umbrellas to watches to suitcases and more, ahead you'll find all the tech gadgets we've tried out and fallen in love with this year.

With the Aura Digital Photo Frame ($299) you never have to settle on just one photo in that gorgeous frame. Instead, Aura's easy-to-use app lets you set up an album of all your favorite recent snaps and, using unique touch technology, to swipe through those photos instantly – right on the frame itself.

The G-RO Carry-On ($399) is the suitcase I've been waiting for all my life. From USB chargers on the top (yes, the battery *is* removable for easy travel) to the suitcase tracking system powered by Tile (!), all the way through to the extremely convenient compartments and TSA-approved locking mechanism . . . traveling has never been so easy, or so stress-free.
If you're anything like me, you've been craving a simple, sexy alternative to the smart watch. And I found all that and more in the Skagen Falster Smart Watch ($295) which lets me get notifications, check in on my health, and all the other great things that an Android Wear-powered watch can do – all in one gorgeous, rose-gold classic watch.
I will admit that at first, I was very skeptical that a smart-umbrella would change my day-to-day routine. Enter the Weatherman Smart Umbrella ($59) – not only does it have an app that alerts me as to whether I need to bring an umbrella on my commute (both ways!) but also has a convenient flap with a tracker, which ensures that I never leave it behind for too long.
