5 clever gadgets worth a bite this fall

A photo backup that works with one click, reading glasses that let you look up, a glowing hummingbird, a galaxy for your ceiling, and a tracker that hides in your wallet. Here's what each one does and what to check before you order.

By The Nom Gadgets TeamUpdated October 28, 20266 min read

We look for gadgets that fix a small, everyday annoyance: photos scattered across devices, glasses you keep taking on and off, a nightstand that needs a little warmth, a bedtime routine, a wallet that keeps going missing. Every pick below includes a quick summary, why it made the list, and one thing worth knowing before you buy.

Prices and offers change often, so each button takes you straight to the seller's own site, where you can check current details.

#1 · Photo Backup

ThePhotoStick OMNI

One-click backup for the photos on every device you own

ThePhotoStick OMNI is a USB backup stick that comes with an adapter for phones and tablets, so the same stick works with iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows. You plug it in, open the program, and click Go. According to the seller, it searches the device for photos and videos, copies them to the stick, and skips duplicates it has already saved. The seller says it also backs up documents, music, and voice memos, more than 100 file types in all.

  • Finds photos for you instead of making you dig through folders
  • One stick for phones, tablets, and computers
  • Skips duplicates to save space
Good to know:It's a physical copy, so keep it somewhere safe. For truly irreplaceable photos, a second backup in another place is still a good idea.
Price: From $49.99 (8GB) to $143.99 (256GB) on the seller's site at the time of writing

#2 · Reading Glasses

Glosritystore OptiReaders Pro

Reading glasses that also let you look up across the room

Most reading glasses blur everything past arm's length, so you end up pushing them down your nose or taking them off. OptiReaders Pro use progressive multifocal lenses: you read through the lower part of the lens and look up for things farther away. The seller says the lenses filter blue light and block UV, and the frame is a lightweight, flexible titanium alloy with soft nose pads.

  • Near and farther vision in one pair
  • Blue-light filtering and UV-blocking lenses, per the seller
  • Light, flexible frame that bends without snapping
Good to know:These are non-prescription readers. The seller lists them for reading strengths of +1.00 to +3.00. Progressive lenses can take a few days to get used to, and they don't replace an eye exam.

#3 · Home & Gifts

Ribili Stillwing Hummingbird Lamp

A stained-glass-style hummingbird that glows on a nightstand

This is a decorative lamp shaped like a hummingbird hovering over a cluster of flowers, with a colorful stained-glass look. Switched on, it gives off a soft, warm glow that suits a bedside table, a reading corner, or a shelf. The seller says it stands about 10 inches tall and calls it a gift for hummingbird lovers of any age.

  • Detailed wings, beak, and flowers
  • Warm, low glow for evenings and bedtime
  • About 10 inches tall, so it fits most nightstands
Good to know:The seller describes the material as lead-free stained "glass" (their quotes), so expect a glass-look finish rather than traditional leaded glass. It's a mood light, not a reading lamp.

#4 · Night Light

Keilini AstraVision Galaxy Projector

A palm-size projector that puts a moving galaxy on your ceiling

AstraVision is a small projector on an adjustable stand that throws moving scenes onto your ceiling or walls: drifting galaxies, nebula clouds, and ocean waves. It uses interchangeable HD image discs and comes with three, according to the seller. Because it's USB-powered, you can also use it in a car or at a campsite with a USB power source.

  • Scenes move slowly instead of sitting still
  • Swap discs to change the view
  • Adjustable stand aims it at a ceiling or wall
Good to know:Like any projector, it looks best in a dark room. It runs on USB power, so you'll need a USB wall adapter, port, or power bank.
Price: $44.99 for one on the seller's site at the time of writing, with multi-pack discounts

#5 · Everyday Carry

Ondrela Smart Tracker Card

A card-thin tracker that lives in your wallet

Ondrela is a tracker shaped like a thin card, so it slides into a wallet, passport holder, or bag where a round tag won't fit. According to the seller, it works with the tracker app built into iPhone and Android, shows your item on a map, and rings when you tap your phone. It can also alert you if you walk off and leave it behind.

  • Thin enough for a card slot
  • Ring-to-find plus left-behind alerts
  • Up to 6 months per charge, with wireless charging
Good to know:Map locations rely on nearby phones in the tracking network, so updates can be less frequent in remote areas. No monthly fees, per the seller.

  • Free to submit, with no obligation, per the provider

Product details and any prices shown come from each seller's website at the time of writing. Prices and offers change often, so check the seller's page for current pricing.

Have you tested every product?

No. We summarize what each seller says about its product and add practical notes. Experiences vary, so read the seller's details, guarantees, and return terms before ordering.

Why is a solar contract review on a gadget list?

It's a sponsored bonus for readers who own solar panels. It's offered by a third-party law firm, not by us, and it's labeled as attorney advertising.
