Many people often forget, CES isn’t just about bigger screens or faster chips – it is about creative problem-solving and making tech work harder for us in unexpected ways, about products that genuinely solve problems or make life a little easier (and cooler). They’re smart, adaptable, and designed to fit seamlessly into our daily lives. The best part? They show us that the future of tech isn’t just about what’s possible – it’s about what’s practical, too. From smart pet furniture to pocket-sized holograms, here are five standout gadgets that grabbed everyone’s attention and got us dreaming about the future.
If you’re a cat owner, you know they’re the true rulers of the house. LG gets it. That’s probably why they created the AeroCatTower, a hybrid air purifier and cat tower that keeps both your home’s air and your feline in peak condition.
The tower looks sleek and minimalistic, fitting right into any modern living room. But it’s not just a pretty perch. It doubles as an air purifier, removing allergens and dander while your cat lounges. The dome seat on the top even comes with a weight sensor to monitor your pet’s health stats via LG’s ThinQ app.
What’s really clever is how it adjusts fan speed when your cat’s around, running quietly to avoid spooking them and then kicking into high gear once they leave. It even has a lower platform for senior cats or multi-cat households. Bottom line: LG managed to turn something practical (an air purifier) into a thoughtful solution for pet owners who want the best for their cats.

If you’ve ever fantasised about having your own personal robot butler, the R2D3 from OpenDroids might be your dream come true. Think of it as a supercharged assistant that doesn’t just follow commands – it anticipates your needs.
This little bot integrates seamlessly with your smart home setup, learning your habits over time. It knows when to adjust the thermostat, prep your morning coffee, or even suggest meal options based on what’s in the fridge. On top of that, it doubles as a security guard with motion detection, facial recognition, and the ability to alert you if something’s off.
But what really makes the R2D3 stand out is its modular design. You can add extra capabilities – like a cooking assistant or pet monitoring features – so it evolves with your lifestyle. It’s the kind of tech that feels both futuristic and practical, like a sci-fi dream brought to life.
Let’s face it, getting kids to brush their teeth properly is a constant struggle. Enter the Willo AutoFlo Plus, a fully automated toothbrush that takes the guesswork (and the tantrums) out of oral hygiene.
Instead of regular bristles, it uses a silicone mouthpiece with pulsating water jets to clean every nook and cranny. Kids don’t even have to move it around – it does all the work for them. And because it’s so gentle, there’s no risk of overbrushing or irritation.
What’s cool is the companion app that turns brushing into a game. Kids earn rewards for sticking to their routines, while parents get detailed reports on how well their teeth are being cleaned. It’s part gadget, part parenting hack, and it might just be the key to creating lifelong healthy habits.

Withings has been killing it in the health tech game for years, but the Omnia might be their most ambitious idea yet. It’s basically a hub that pulls together all your health data from their devices – smart scales, blood pressure monitors, sleep trackers – and even third-party apps.
What makes Omnia special is how it turns raw data into actionable insights. Instead of just showing you your weight or heart rate, it gives you a big-picture view of your health and offers suggestions to improve it. Maybe it notices a spike in your blood pressure and nudges you to take a breather. Or it tracks sleep patterns and recommends tweaks to your bedtime routine.
For anyone managing a chronic condition, Omnia is a game-changer. It streamlines the process of sharing data with doctors and makes telehealth visits way more effective. In short, it’s like having a health coach in your pocket – except it’s smarter and doesn’t yell at you to do more squats.
Holograms have been a sci-fi staple forever, but the Holobox Mini makes them a reality – and it’s small enough to fit on your desk. This portable holographic display projects stunning 4K 3D visuals, whether it’s for work, play, or just showing off.
Setting it up is a breeze. Plug it in, connect to Wi-Fi, and you’re ready to go. It’s great for businesses wanting to create eye-popping product demos or educators looking for a more immersive way to teach complex topics. It can even stream live holograms, so imagine hosting a meeting or concert where everyone feels like they’re in the same room.
What’s impressive is how versatile it is. It supports both pre-recorded and live content, making it just as useful for casual users as it is for professionals. Holobox Mini doesn’t just make holograms accessible – it makes them fun and functional.

What’s particularly exciting is the way these devices integrate seamlessly into broader ecosystems. They aren’t just standalone gadgets; they’re part of a growing trend toward interconnected living. From LG’s AeroCatTower that merges pet care with air purification to Withings’ Omnia health hub that consolidates complex data into actionable insights, these products are designed to work with us, learn from us, and ultimately make life a little simpler and a lot smarter.
The creativity on display this year also hints at something bigger. We’re moving beyond the era of “wow factor” tech that impresses in the short term but fades into irrelevance. Instead, CES 2025 highlighted gadgets with staying power – innovations that feel futuristic yet grounded in addressing real-world challenges.
As these devices make their way into homes, classrooms, and workplaces, they’re likely to shape not just how we live but how we think about technology itself. What does it mean for our gadgets to understand us, anticipate our needs, and adapt to our lifestyles? How do we ensure that this convenience remains accessible, secure, and inclusive for all?
CES 2025 didn’t answer these questions outright, but it opened the door for conversation. The products on display this year aren’t just tools; they’re glimpses of a future where technology becomes a natural extension of ourselves – responsive, empathetic, and endlessly innovative.
As the dust settles on this year’s showcase, one thing is clear – the gadgets we are seeing at CES 2025 aren’t just ideas – they’re blueprints for the kind of world we’re building. And if these five standout products are any indication, it’s going to be a world where technology makes life not just easier, but genuinely better.
