Received: FitBit
Gave: Hoverboard
The FitBit is the top-selling fitness/activity tracker of 2015. There is a range of FitBit products: some are only activity trackers; others will monitor heart rate, sleep patterns, and more.
Hoverboards were another big holiday item, despite reports of injuries and boards exploding into balls of flames. The top-selling hoverboards actually don’t hover; they have wheels and include boards from Razor, Swagway, and Glyro.
