Gifts that you'll want to use with a futuristic sensibility.

"I wanted to share items that I personally find convenient or innovative with the father generation, so I chose the 'TrackR pixel,' an IoT product that lets you find things using light and sound, and the 'COLOR UP,' a new type of interior light. I keep the TrackR pixel in my wallet, attach it to my keys, and always give it to my children when we go out as a family. You can also use it in all sorts of clever ways, like attaching it to the underside of a bicycle saddle. The COLOR UP is a lighting fixture that always surprises people when they receive it as a gift, and it supports approximately 16.77 million colors. It can be used indoors, of course, but since it's rechargeable, it can also be used outdoors, and it's an item that will spark conversations."

The Trackar Pixel, roughly the size of a 100-yen coin, uses Bluetooth® and a smartphone to record location information in the cloud (cloud locate), which can then be tracked via an app. If you can't find the Trackar Pixel even when it's nearby, you can easily locate it by emitting light (LED) and sound via your smartphone. Conversely, if you can't find your smartphone, you can press the button on the Trackar Pixel to make a nearby smartphone ring. It's available in eight colors (black, white, gray, red, purple, pink, aqua, and blue).
