NEO.LIFE x Siranush: Bioinspired Holiday Gifts

From NEO.LIFE POST

“From ephemeral tattoos to vagus nerve oil to a grape-waste backpack, these biotech-inspired gifts will be sure to delight and inspire.

Let’s face it—nerds are hard to shop for. Bio nerds are even harder to shop for. But biologically inspired gifts are cool for nerds and for everyone, especially now with so many smart, novel, and beautifully designed products hitting the market. Nature is the ultimate designer and evolution is the process. Tapping into nature’s complex systems and harnessing its power to create new solutions is inherently inspiring to anyone who believes in progress. And these gifts can be positively life transforming. Our Oura smart sleep tracking ring, for instance, has given us insights into how to get more rest and better quality sleep. And now they’ve released the third generation ring (from $299), which promises to track daytime activity as well. Maybe someday we won’t need a phone, and a ring, and a patch, and a band, and a watch… And when that day comes, you’ll read about it here first!

We at NEO.LIFE are all fascinated and encouraged by the therapeutic potential of placebo pills. Gifting a placebo could inspire a lively Christmas morning conversation about the placebo effect. Or take it to your next white elephant party. It’s $24.95 direct, or $19.95 on Amazon.

And you could always delight a biofuturist friend, or an aficionado of great design, with a copy of our time capsule book, Neo.Life: 25 Visions for the Future of Our Species. In fact, readers can use code HOLIDAY15 for a 15% discount between now and December 10th.

We’re always curious what smart people are finding among the latest bio- and tech-inspired offerings for health, wellness, fashion, and home. So in what is shaping up to be an annual tradition, we asked a few of the people whose opinions and perspectives we respect to help us compile the 2021 NEO.LIFE Biologically Inspired Gift Guide. Check it out.”
