PHILIPS WAKE-UP LIGHT
ALARM CLOCK
We can’t promise it will make waking
up fun, but it may make it easier. The
Philips Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock
forgoes the loud, ear-piercing noises
of traditional alarm clocks with a simulated
sunrise. This clock will slowly
and gently increase in brightness
before activating an FM radio or a
choice of five different nature-inspired
sounds. $125 at amazon.com.
BOOK OF THE MONTH
If your resolution is to read more, the Book of the Month subscription cuts
out all the dirty work. This service tracks all the latest literary releases and
whittles them down to a list of five. From there you can choose which you’d like,
or save your book credit to be used for more books the following month or to
obtain one from the past. At bookofthemonth.com, there is an offer through
Dec. 31 promising your first book for $5, with each subsequent month’s book
costing $15.
HIDRATESPARK3
With the aid of a removable sensor inside this tall, 20-ounce bottle, HidrateSpark3
tracks every sip to measure the owner’s hydration. By collecting
data on the user’s height, weight, activity, and all other relevant variables, the
Hidrate app calculates a personal hydration goal, and the bottle emits a glow
when it is time for another sip. $59.95 at hidratespark.com.
PRESS HEALTH
HEADSPACE
Those entering the New Year with intentions of managing stress should look

Puddicombe, a former monk and co-founder of the app for $12.99 monthly,
