Compact appliances make fantastic holiday gifts for friends and family. One of the many reasons why people love these appliances so much is that they come in a variety of models. That means they can work in virtually any kitchen, patio, basement, RV, or garage, and they’re great for homeowners and renters alike.
This holiday gift guide explores some of the most popular compact appliances on everyone’s wish list, including:
- Wine and beverage fridges, ice makers, pizza ovens, and humidors for entertainers
- Portable coolers for campers, tailgaters, and on-the-road adventurers
- Heaters and fans for garage workshops, mancaves, and she sheds
Once you see how these products make life more enjoyable for where you live, work, and play, you’ll be adding them to your wishlist, too!
Compact Appliances for Entertaining
If you have someone in your life who likes to entertain, you’ll be thrilled with your options for gifts. These small appliances are perfect for gracious hosts who enjoy making every gathering special.
Wine Fridges
For the wine lover in your circle, a wine fridge makes a thoughtful gift. It’s great for storing bottles and preserving their flavor, and it can also keep wine at the ideal serving temperature when it’s time to open a bottle or two.
Compact wine fridges come in both built-in and freestanding models. The freestanding option is great for gift-giving because it can be placed anywhere and easily moved for entertaining and dining.
Wine fridges are available in various sizes and come with different features, including adjustable racks, external controls, and display panels. Dual-zone models offer separate compartments for reds and whites, or for storing bottles long-term versus those ready to be served now.
Beverage Fridges
A beverage fridge is similar to a wine fridge but is configured to accommodate beer and soda. They often feature adjustable shelving and settings to control light exposure, as sunlight can cause beer spoil faster. Like wine fridges, freestanding beverage fridges can be placed anywhere in the home and easily moved into a bar area or outdoor kitchen.
What about a fridge for a household that enjoys both beer and wine? Great news — we have models that hold both cans and bottles with dual temperature zones, so everyone can enjoy their favorite beverage at the perfect temperature.
Portable Ice Makers
For that friend or family member who enjoys serving mixed drinks and specialty cocktails, a portable ice maker ensures there’s always enough ice on hand. These appliances can be placed in the pantry, on an RV countertop, in a basement bar, or even on a kitchen island, taking up about as much space as a bread machine.
They produce large quantities of ice rapidly — a batch every 15 minutes or so — which is much faster than conventional refrigerators that can take hours. Many also offer features like windows to view ice production and the ability to make cubes, bullets, and nuggets, depending on the user's preference.
And for whiskey lovers, we’ve just released a whiskey ice ball maker that can produce up to 32 ice spheres every 24 hours!
Pizza Ovens
Who doesn’t love pizza? With an electric pizza oven, anyone can enjoy artisan-style pizza in just minutes. Recreate a classic margherita pizza from that trip to the Amalfi Coast or quickly whip up a meal for the kids with this countertop marvel.
Simply preheat the oven for 15 minutes, then slide in a pre-prepped pizza. In two minutes, you’ll have a hot, delicious pie, making it perfect for parties, sleepovers, tailgates, and more.
Humidors
Do you have a cigar aficionado in your life? Give them a humidor to store their collection in style, available in various sizes to hold up to 1,500 individually wrapped or boxed cigars.
Humidors maintain the ideal humidity level to preserve cigars longer, ensuring the best flavor. Spanish cedar drawers enhance the taste even further. Not in need of a large humidor? Consider a 250-count countertop model that locks in moisture and circulates air, so every stogie tastes as fresh as the day it was rolled.
Coolers for Tailgaters and Outdoor Enthusiasts
For those sports lovers and campers on your gift list, a portable cooler is sure to produce a smile. But not just any cooler – an electric camping cooler or a battery-powered jobsite cooler takes chilling beverages and food to the next level.
A portable electric camping cooler from Newair offers four different charging methods:
- Solar kit
- Wall outlet
- Car outlet
- External battery
With separate fridge and freezer compartments, a retractable handle, rugged wheels, and wire baskets to hold items, it’s a can’t-miss gift.
Another option is the 25-quart Newair battery-powered cooler, compatible with many brands of power tool batteries. It also features a door-activated LED light, cup holders, and a USB charging port, making it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts or anyone who works outside.
Heating and Cooling for Mancaves, She Sheds and More
Detached garages, mancaves, and she sheds can get too cold or hot when extreme weather hits. But with the right portable air conditioner, evaporative cooler, fan, or heater, everyone can stay comfy, no matter what the temperature is outside.
Newair has a large selection of compact heating and cooling appliances, from oil-filled radiators to pedestal misting fans. Looking for something that handles both cold snaps and heat waves? Consider a combined heater and air conditioner with a dehumidifier and fan – an excellent choice for year-round climate control.
