Jeff Rossen shares his top tested products for holiday gifting, from budget-friendly lights to a splurge-worthy alarm clock.

It's our Rosson reports gift guide. We test *** lot of products. Oh yeah. Whoa. That's *** lot of stuff pouring out of there. You can give treats on this and you see him waiting patiently up and it just flew out, which is why we're sharing our favorite products we found so far this year, you can really enhance your kitchen. Like these battery powered lights, we tested spring. We found these puck lights. Ok. $30 for *** six pack. Stick it right under your cabinet that make your home look fancy for less and look, look at what's on the toaster and you do this all along and look at this so you can do white light, you can do daylight, you can have it on *** dimmer next and this one went viral. The pop popcorn maker we tested this summer. If you are *** night snacker and you want to be healthy, then this silicone popcorn popper is *** must. We bought it for $12 and you'll, you have to buy bagged popcorn again. And so it comes like this, you just put your fist in there and it becomes *** little bowl. We bought the, uh, popcorn kernels separate and there's *** little fill line here. It tells you the instructions. I'm gonna pour it down like this now with *** lot of this stuff. All right, you have to put butter in for *** lot of these and then you just put this on top like this. Come over to the microwave. You don't have to put any butter in this. You can if you want, but you don't have to, which I really like. So you put it in here three minutes later, we've got perfect popcorn. Whoa, my whoa. Hello. Hello. Wow. Oh my God. This is awesome. And for *** splurge pick, we love this viral sunrise alarm clock. We tested this fall. It's the hatch restore two coming in at $140. It does *** lot of really cool stuff. Ok. It's ***, it's an alarm clock. It's *** sound machine. It'll help you with meditation. In fact, when you buy this thing, you automatically get *** free trial to hatch plus, which comes with the meditation and the stories. But you don't need to spend the money on that after the free trial runs out. It does *** lot of really cool stuff by itself. You hook it up to your app, you can change the volume. Let's say you want it really loud in the morning. It's pretty loud or you can make it as low as you want. And you can also change the colors, look at all the colors you can do. Let's say you like green. Here's, here comes the green. I'm gonna share the full gift guide with links to all of those products and more in my Rosson reports newsletter, just scan the QR code on your screen right now to sign up and it's free back to you.
