The popular carol "12 Days of Christmas" is a collection of gifts that sound pretty terrible to be on the receiving end on. Six geese a laying sounds like a situation that could quickly become out of control. Those six geese will eventually become 60, if they don't cease their constant laying. Still, there's nothing like building up anticipation over almost two weeks of chaotic gifts which is why we're happy to present Reviewed's 12 Days of Giftmas, an almost two-week-long event of the best Christmas gift ideas available this year.

Get on the nice list. Sign up for our newsletter for all the best gift guides, deals and holiday planning advice. 

For seven more days, we'll be taking a much more simple approach to gift-giving, with recommendations that comprise our favorite finds of the year. Yesterday, we suggested finally jumping on the portable gaming bandwagon with the Nintendo Switch OLED. On day four, we proposed the Cosori Electric Gooseneck Kettle, the secret to perfect morning brews. On day three, we proposed you step up your sleeping game with the popular Gravity Weighted Blanket. On day two, we recommended a beautiful lab-grown diamond ring from Blue Nile. Before that on day one, we recommended some seriously stupendous Sony WH-1000XM4 Headphones. Day six is not just a smartwatch, it's the smartwatch.

Apple devices have a way of setting themselves apart from the din of a flooded smart device market. You don't want a smartphone, you want an iPhone. As far as tablets go, nothing beats the power and reliability of an iPad. And for all manner of creatives, MacBook is the only game in town when it comes to laptops. Like everything else in the Apple product line, Apple Watch Series 8 is a cut above the competition.

Our expert found that the Apple Watch Series 8 is the best smartwatch available right now because of its unmatched build quality. For new smartwatch buyers, this is easily the best and most prudent option, with new flashy upgrades that you'll want to have in any wrist-bound device. It provides the best fitness insights including heart rate monitoring, sleep and even menstrual cycles. Apple Watch Series 8 also comes with innovative safety features like crash detection, which will alert emergency services in the event of a crash or fall. All this, plus a gorgeous retina display that's easy on the eyes in all levels of light. It's a perfect gift for anyone looking to make new wellness goals in the new year.
