11. Bluetooth hat

Last year, we got one of these hats with imbedded Bluetooth speakers as a kind of gag gift for someone. But somehow we ended up with it, and it’s awesome! It’s just like using Bluetooth earphones, but it also keeps your head warm while you’re out playing in the cold. Buy it here.
