Gadgets: Spend those gift cards on these toys

I often refer to my gadget columns at this point of the year as "this, that and the others." It's a bunch of great products I just haven't gotten to this year. Nevertheless, they are great last-minute gifts or perfect for using a gift card on yourself.

The BotsLab G980H 4-channel dashcam covers 560 degrees of angles. It's designed to see in four directions, with superior quality: a 3K front, 1080P rear, and left- and right-view cameras. The front angle has a 170-degree view, the rear has 150 degrees, and the left and right have 120 degrees to record your trips without blind spots.

It is loaded with features, including a 3.18-inch touchscreen, voice control and a sentry mode for 24/7 monitoring while parked. Recording is done in endless loops, and night vision captures footage even in the dead of night. All recordings will include the recorded location, time and speed from the built-in GPS. With voice control, you can tell the BotsLab G980H which camera you want to see, and even have it take a still photo. Loop recording and storage are done on the included 128GB memory card, which can be upgraded to 512GB.

GooLoos GT160 dual portable air compressor and power bank is one of those devices you don't need, or at least you don't think you do, until you do. Then it's a lifesaver.

It's not far off from pocket size, measuring about 7.68 by 3.15 by 2.56 inches/2.02 pounds. Inside is a 10,000 mAh rechargeable battery, which, when fully charged, is rated to supply enough portable power to reinflate 36 car tires, 60 bike tires or 100 balls on a single charge. It has an auto-shutoff for tire inflation, along with USB-A and USB-C ports that work as a power bank to charge smartphones and other portable gadgets on the go.

With the push of a button, an LED flashlight shines and also has a blinking light for emergencies. A storage bag is included for the inflater nozzle hose and some accessories. A magnetic flap on the battery covers a compartment for a ball and pool floats inflater attachments. The front buttons control functions, and an LED displays tire pressure readings, battery level and other features. A storage pouch is included.

The OXS Storm A2 over-the-head wireless gaming headset with Hybrid ANC is a good choice at a buyer-friendly price. Gamers understand the value of having a single headset compatible with multiple gaming units, including PlayStation 4 and 5, PC, Nintendo Switch, PCs, laptops, and smartphones, via Bluetooth 5.4, USB-A Dongle, USB-C Dongle, and USB-C wired.

Each soft, padded earcup of the ergonomic, adjustable headset is constructed from breathable memory foam for long-term use. A 40mm neodymium driver on each side supplies top-notch sound for gamers or non-gamers like me, who just want to hear great sound from a playlist. It delivers cutting-edge 7.1 surround sound powered by Xspace audio technology, resulting in crystal-clear audio with the right amount of bass. A lot of this is credit to the Storm A2's active noise cancellation.

It's listed to last up to 70 hours before needing a recharge, which is ideal for a marathon gaming session. If the battery runs low, no problem -- the Storm A2 will play while charging. A gamer-grade detachable omnidirectional boom microphone features advanced 5-mic ENC technology, voice isolation and wind reduction, ensuring those on the other end hear you crystal clear with minimal, if any, background noise.
