James Gunn and Peter Safran aren’t surviving the Skydance takeover of Warner Bros

Every year, TIME's editors and correspondents work together to compile a collection of the most interesting and groundbreaking new products and innovations for the Best Inventions list. As holiday season approaches, the TIME team has pulled out a selection of 10 best items from the list under $100 that would make a perfect gift.

—TIMEMyAir.0 OriMouse

A responsive mouse that folds down flat

After the pandemic forced him to work more flexibly between home, office, and the infinite spaces in between, Horace Lam began searching for a mouse that could keep up. Some were too slick—he’s dropped and broken two. Others felt too heavy. Lam, an inventor who has worked with Targus and Logitech, created the myAir.0 OriMouse, which weighs just 40 grams and charges via USB-C. Inert, the mouse sort of resembles a flattened origami frog. But magnetically snap its two legs together, and the mouse takes on a faceted shape that allows it to nestle comfortably in your palm. —Daniel Varghese

Once you’ve paired the headphones and set up an account in the Nothing app, you can squeeze both earbuds to start taking an audio snapshot, which you can then replay, transcribe, or share with friends. You can even adjust the recording window so that your snapshot includes audio played up to 30 seconds before you actually pressed the buds. Snapshots are under a minute, but the headphones can also record a phone call of up to an hour long. —Daniel Varghese

—BrickBrick

The ultimate screen time suppressant

At the ripe age of 23, TJ Driver decided his relationship to his phone needed to change. “It was getting in the way,” he says. He enlisted Zach Nasgowitz, a friend from his undergraduate computer science program, to create Brick, a productivity system that married the available app blocking capabilities of iOS software with a corporeal magnet that acts like a key. If you want access to a blocked app while you’re “Bricked,” you have to tap your phone to the drab, concrete colored Brick, equipped with an NFC chip—often that’s all the friction needed to get you to do something other than doomscroll. The app is now also available on Android. —Daniel Varghese

Trendy ear protection

Earplugs have always been an unpleasant necessity: utilitarian and often uncomfortable, but essential in many situations. Loop has changed that with their highly functional earplugs that look more like jewelry than auditory safety measures. The brand offers a range of decibel-reducing options, including the popular Experience 2, which uses an acoustic channel, membrane, and mesh to evenly reduce sound rather than just muffling it—and this year got a design makeover by collaborating with Harry Styles’ company Pleasing. Once you spot a pair in the wild, you’ll see them everywhere: hot-ticket concerts, noisy train platforms, outdoor raves, and overloud movie theaters. —Eliza Thompson

A thermostat can be seen on a radiator in an apartment. —Silas Stein—Getty Images

Winter is fast approaching, beckoning a drop in temperatures that will leave most people wanting nothing more than to curl up inside. But with energy prices on the rise, heating your home might be more expensive this winter season—especially for renters who can’t readily make big changes to their home to better prepare for the cold. 

"It's a little challenging for renters, because they can't make a lot of adjustments to the design of their home or add insulation,” says Nicholas Rajkovich, associate professor of architecture at the University at Buffalo, whose work covers energy efficiency. “But there certainly are things that you can try to do inside an apartment or a house that you're renting.”

The simplest solution might not be the one you want to hear. “To save energy, turn the thermostat down,” says Ian Shapiro, professor of practice in mechanical and aerospace engineering at Syracuse University, whose work focuses on sustainability. “Setting the temperature lower will save energy.”

If you control the heating in your home, turn the heat off entirely if you’re leaving the house. If you’re able to, avoid heating rooms that are unoccupied. 

As the temperatures begin to drop, do an audit of your windows and doors to make sure they are properly sealed. Roughly 30% of a home’s heating and cooling energy is lost through the windows. 

Before checking, Shapiro recommends running your hand under the faucet. The water’s temperature doesn’t matter, but the moisture will make you more attuned to air movement. “[Your hand] becomes even more sensitive to leaks,” he says. Once you’ve figured out where cold air might be coming in from, you can apply temporary caulking or removable foam insulation to deal with the draft. 

While it might be tempting to break out a space heater, experts warn against relying on them. For one, they can be a safety hazard—fuel-burning space heaters can produce carbon monoxide, and even electric heaters can cause fires if not used properly. 

More so, if your landlord pays for the heat, you might be taking on an additional expense. “In most apartments the heat is paid for by the landlord, and if you plug in an electric resistance heater, you're now taking on the cost of the heat yourself,” says Shapiro. “So I'd caution [against them] because typically the electricity in an apartment is [likely] paid for by the tenant, but the heat is paid for centrally by the landlord.” 

If you can, consider purchasing a window heat pump, which operates by moving heat rather than generating it. It’s an efficient way to supplement your central heating system and heat a single room—and can also serve as an air conditioner in the summer. 

At the end of the day, the simplest tricks can get the job done. “Reduce the temperature in the house, put on an extra sweater, and wear a blanket,” says Rajkovich. “All of those things are very inexpensive ways to save some money.”
