27 Baby Gadgets for New Parents

Mama still knows best, but technology knows second best. Baby tech has been moving right along since we were in diapers and now you can be fully prepped to take on whatever comes up with your little one. Prepare yourself with all the best gadgets and gear to handle those infant years with ease.

1. Bellabeat Connected System ($129): Get your baby gadget-ing while he or she is still in the womb. Bellabeat allows you to monitor your baby’s heartbeats and kicks. Think of it as an activity tracker for the little bean.

2. Mimo Onesie ($199): Needless to say, this is the most expensive onesie that you’ll be buying for your baby. While the organic cotton is nice, what makes this wee wearable even cooler is that it monitors pulse, breathing rate, heart rate and even body position. Then it sends all of that information to mom’s or dad’s phone, meaning parentals can always rest easy that their baby is doing a-okay.

3. Aquatopia Deluxe Safety Bath Thermometer ($15): This little guy is adorable and will make sure the temperature of the bath water is just right for you little one.

4. Nuvo Ritmo Pregnancy Sound System ($70): Want your babe to know all about Mozart and Beethoven (or Rihanna and Prince) before he or she even exits the womb? No need to put headphones on your belly. Play your favorite tunes for them through their very own sound system.

5. Ecotones Sound + Sleep Machine ($100): You and your baby will be on the same sleep schedule — yeah right! But what little sleep you can catch, make it the best sleep ever with Sound + Sleep. It blocks out noise giving you the sound sleep you need.

6. Vicks Starry Night Cool Mist Humidifier ($55): Ensure your little one breathes easy as they sleep under the stars.

7. Itzbeen Pocket Nanny Baby Care Timer ($25): Nap time, feeding time, play time, diaper changing time… in lieu of a messy calendar, this gadget keeps track of all your baby scheduling needs.

8. Beaba Babycook Baby Food Maker ($110): You’ll know exactly what’s going into your baby’s food when you make it yourself, and this little gadget makes doing that as easy as making yourself a fresh glass of juice every morning.

9. MobiUS Portable Ultrasound System: Your own mom is going to flip when she sees this. An at-home ultrasound system is certainly revolutionary.

10. Tiggly Shapes ( $30): Let’s face it. Babes know how to work an iPad right out of the womb, and we love that this brings a tangible component to iPad games for the little ones.

11. Medela Swing Single Electric Breast Pump ($170): Sometimes you have the time and privacy to nurse. Sometimes you don’t. Two-phase expression technology mimics your baby’s feeding pattern, and this convenient kit makes it easy to use anywhere.

12. Iiamo Go Self-Warming Feeding Bottle ($43): With a special heating element, this bottle can heat itself on the go. And moms everywhere rejoice.

13. Boon Orb Bottle Warmer ($28): Or, if you’re at home, this quirky warmer will do just fine.

14. Avent Microwave Steam Sterilizer ($32): Talk about a time saver. This sterilizer can clean all of your bottles at once! So put away the rubber gloves and go spend some more QT with your cutie.

15. Smart Baby Monitor ($340): Believe it or not, with this futuristic monitor, you can hear and talk to your baby as well as turn on a nightlight and play music all from your smartphone!

16. Boon GLO Nightlight With Portable Balls ($57): We love the look of this nightlight that can double as an orb-like flashlight when the kids get old enough.

17. Tranquil Moments White Noise Sound Machine for Baby ($90): Just for your baby, this sound machine soothes your little one with some of their favorite noises for a sound night of sleep… which we don’t have to tell you means a good night of sleep for you, too.

18. Vtech Safe and Sound Full Color Video and Audio Monitor ($135): Never miss a moment of your munchkin’s nap time. This monitor connects to four cameras so you can check on your baby from all angles.

19. Vibe Vibrating Mattress Pad ($30): This little pad slips under your baby’s mattress to create soothing vibrations to get them to sleep. Do they have this in adult size??

20. Squirt Baby Food Dispensing Spoon ($10): No more baby food containers tossed to the ground. Keep it in the spoon for an easier feeding time with Squirt.

21. Ba Baby Bottle Holder ($15): This little device helps babies gain feeding independence by helping them grip a bottle… not to mention, it looks pretty cool, too.

22. Green Sprouts Infant Water Bottle Cap Adapter ($4): If you find yourself without a bottle, don’t fear! This topper can screw onto most water bottles. Crisis averted.

23. Bottle Tether ($12): You may never lose another sippy cup again. Strap it in with this crafty tether!

24. Pacifier Thermometer ($14): Can we just pretend the rectal thermometer was never invented? We love two-in-one gadgets.

25. Pacifi ($35): Take the temperature checking up a notch by sending all those stats to your smartphone. Pacifi isn’t available quite yet, but should be ready for all babies born in fall 2014.

26. MilkScreen ($13): Having wine at dinner is one of the best parts of no longer being pregnant. Well, it’s at least in the top 20. Luckily with these strips you can test for alcohol and know when you’re safe to breast feed. It’s like a breathalyzer for your boob!

27. Keep-It-Kleen Pacifier ($5): Babies are prone to dropping and throwing things on the ground. To prevent some of the germs, this pacifier has armor.

The '90s called to let everyone know we're finally getting a sequel to Clueless, but we won't be reliving 97 minutes of nostalgia. Rather, a series is being developed right now and we've got all the details about it! I, for one, am ready to see Cher Horowitz and crew all grown up because the original movie's ending alluded to their bright futures.

Scroll to find out what to expect from the Clueless TV series, plus revisit the scene that made me fall in love with playing dress up!

Is there going to be a Clueless 2?

Yes! Variety announced Peacock is developing the Clueless sequel series yesterday. We can already hear Cher saying "Whatever" to someone who's doing something annoying.

Which cast members will be in Clueless 2?

As of now, Alicia Silverstone's return as Cher Horowitz is the only cast information that's been publicized (via Variety). We'd love to see Paul Rudd return as Josh and Stacey Dash as Dionne Davenport!

What is Clueless 2 about? 

The plot's details are still TBA (to be announced), but Variety is convinced the Clueless sequel series will pick up after the events of the movie.

Who's producing and writing the script for Clueless 2? 

Writers Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage and Jordan Weiss are hard at work on the Clueless script. Alicia Silverstone is also an executive producer alongside Amy Heckerling, writer and director of the OG film, and producer Robert Lawrence (via Variety).

Knowing the names who made the iconic film what it is makes me feel relieved the series will be the one fans of the cult classic deserve!

My Favorite Clueless Scene

I was 100% convinced I'd be able to wear computer generated outfits which probably explains my love for the now defunct Polyvore. It was a collage sight that became home for those who loved creating virtual style mood boards and I like to think Cher Horowitz inspired it.

Are you excited about the Clueless TV series?

Ryan Gosling has already stepped foot in Barbieland and proved his chops as an action star in The Fall Guy, and soon he's taking on outer space. (And no I'm not talking about a Blue Origin space flight). Ryan Gosling is joining the Star Wars universe! His new movie is being directed by Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy and it's going to be one heck of an intergalactic adventure.

Here's everything we know about Ryan Gosling's Star Wars: Starfighter, coming to theaters May 28, 2027.

Is Ryan Gosling going to be in Star Wars?

Yes, Ryan Gosling is going to lead a brand new Star Wars movie called Star Wars: Starfighter.

The movie was announced at the Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo, and both Ryan and Shawn showed up IRL! The Fall Guy proved he has what it takes to maintain that cool-guy vibe (just like Han Solo honestly), and I hope Starfighter has the same urban sci-fi adventure I love to see in Star Wars.

Where can I watch Star Wars: Starfighter?

Star Wars: Starfighter is coming to theaters May 28, 2027.

The movie's coming just after Avengers: Secret Wars, but it's not the next time Marvel and Star Wars could duke it out in the box office. Avengers: Doomsday is coming to theaters May 1, 2026, ahead of The Mandalorian & Grogu, which premieres May 22, 2026. Yes. That's a lot of Pedro Pascal, thank goodness.

What is the Star Wars Starfighter movie?

Star Wars: Starfighter is a brand new Star Wars movie that's set apart from any of the trilogies we've seen so far (although it looks like it's part of a brand new trilogy!). The movie is a "standalone adventure taking place approximately five years after the events of 2019's Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker."

But even though the final movie ended on a peaceful note, Ryan Gosling's character is sure to be in for some kind of crazy adventure. "This is the perfect place to start this journey for us, because it's such an incredible reminder of why we're going to make this movie and who we're going to make this movie for," Ryan said at the Star Wars Celebration (via Entertainment Weekly). "[The] script is just so good. It has such a great story with great and original characters."

"This is a standalone. It's not a prequel, not a sequel. It's a new adventure," Shawn added. "It's set in a period of time that we haven’t seen explored yet."

When is Starfighter filming?


Filming for the movie is scheduled to begin the fall of 2025.

What is a Starfighter?

A starfighter in Star Wars is a small but armed starship used in battle.

As my family’s resident charcuterie master (shamelessly elated with that title), I’ve made so many boards in my day. Aside from the standard lineup of grapes, strawberries, cucumbers, and baby carrots, no other grocer’s selection of meats, cheeses, crackers, jams, and other goodies is as great as Trader Joe’s (in my humble opinion).

I practically sprint to TJ’s if I've been delegated the sensational task of setting up the snack board for a family gathering or game night with friends. Many of their charcuterie-ready picks are super affordable (but still luxe in quality) and there are endless combos you can craft depending on your fave flavors.

These 10 Trader Joe’s finds are the ones I always include in my charcuterie spreads since numerous tasting opportunities have proven they’re not to be missed. This list spans across savory and sweet options, too, so you’re not missing out on the whole flavor spectrum!

Scroll on for my top 10 Trader Joe’s charcuterie products worth adding to your next platter!

Trader Joe's

Spicy Uncured Charcuterie Collection

A good charcuterie always starts with the meat, and Trader Joe's is stocked with plenty of options. This premium $9 spicy trio is insanely tasty, provides you with a nice variety, plus, they make really stunning meat roses.

Trader Joe's

Salame di Parma Mild Salami

I'll also always typically grab a second option for meat, and that second grab tends to be salami since it's super salty and easy to eat with crackers and bits of cheese in the same bite. This $6 pack is described as "well-balanced" and "mild" so everyone will enjoy snacking on the slices.

Trader Joe's

Double Cream Brie

Brie is where it's at, and it gets even better when you whip up a simple baked brie to pair with the rest of your charcuterie goodies. To make mine, I'll snag this $8.49 block, chop it up and put it in a ramekin, and bake it at a high temp until it's nice and bubbly. It makes the perfect snack to dip crackers in, plus you can easily elevate it with two of my favorite add-ins below...

Trader Joe's

Spicy Honey Sauce

Yup – hot honey supremacy! Drizzling a bit of this on top of my baked brie truly changes everything. Both the sweet and spicy components of this $5 bottle pair wonderfully with brie – you'll be addicted once you try it, I promise.

Trader Joe's

Fig Butter

This $3 fig butter also goes absolutely nuts when you use it as a baked brie topper. It's super simple and subtly sweet. If you love complex, elevated flavors, you've gotta try this pick. It also works well on toasts, sammies, and even burgers!

Trader Joe's

Fig & Olive Crisps

Out of the literal millions of crackers Trader Joe's has to offer, I think these $4 babies are the best money can buy. Each bite is infused with flax, sesame, and sunflower seeds for a yummy crunch, plus, they're made with figs and olives that provide a delectable salty-sweet balance. What I like most about 'em is they have great structural integrity, so they don't break when you use them for dipping or layering between meats and cheeses.

Trader Joe's

Prosciutto Wrapped Fresh Mozzarella Cheese

This $5 snack has the best of both worlds, so it could be a good grab if you want to set up a snack board quickly without spending over $15 on a full suite of meats and cheeses. They're definitely easy to inhale because they're flavorful as ever!

Trader Joe's

Garlic & Jalapeño Stuffed Olives

I could go on and on and on and on about these stuffed olives. They're insane. A jar doesn't ever last long in my fridge. Each plump bite is packed with slivers of garlic and jalapeño, though they're not overly spicy. The brine balances everything out wonderfully. I like to serve these in a tiny bowl on top of my charcuterie boards and eat 'em up!

Trader Joe's

Ciabatta Demi-Baguette

This bread is a must if you're looking to made a baked brie with your charcuterie board: slice it up, toast the pieces for a bit, and you have the perfect vessel for a spoonful of melty brie paired with either the hot honey or fig jam. I tend to buy this "demi" size because I often enjoy my charcuterie boards with one or two other people, but TJ's also sells full-size baguettes to feed bigger crowds!

Trader Joe's

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

These PB cups easily rank in my top 10 favorite Trader Joe's products of all time. Encased in decadent dark chocolate, these bites also hold plenty of creamy peanut butter for a timeless treat – especially one you'll want to unwrap after chowing down on charcuterie!
