The SereneLife Smart Electric Folding Treadmill is practical, and it's actually on my personal wish list. This treadmill has a foldable design which makes it possible to fit in most living spaces. Despite being a foldable treadmill, it still has really good treadmill features including three incline levels, adjustable speed, Bluetooth compatibility, LCD display, emergency stop and twelve preset programs. 

The treadmill even has an app that allows you to track your process and share it with your friends. If you know someone who loves to run but doesn't want to go all the way to the gym to use a treadmill, this is the gift for them. This gift is also perfect for someone who loves to run outdoors but can't anymore because of colder weather and earlier sunsets.

• Features: 2-in-1 | remote control | LED Display 
  

If someone you know is stuck working from home every day, an under desk treadmill might be the perfect gift to help them squeeze some exercise into the day and make the day pass faster. This treadmill has a removable handrail design which allows you to use it as both a treadmill and an under desk walking pad. 

The maximum speed is 7.6 mph, making it a very competent running treadmill. The best part is that right now, the machine is 19% off, saving you $90. If the person doesn't already have standing desk or a high desk to put the walking pad under, you can check out ZDNET's best standing desks recommendation list.

Water is such a vital substance for your body and yet, people don't drink enough of it. This smart water bottle is the perfect gadget to remind you to get your water fix in a really fun way. The water bottle glows to remind you to drink water and meet your daily goal.
