It’s generally not advisable to gift someone a scale, but a scale with a built-in Wi-Fi connection bends gift giving etiquette enough that you might be able to get away with it.
Once connected to your home’s Wi-Fi network, the $130 Fitbit Aria will upload your weight, BMI and body fat percentage to your Fitbit.com account so you can keep track of your progress privately. If you’re looking for a little extra motivation, you can share your results with friends and family members or — for the truly motivated — via Facebook and Twitter.
