A FOREO Toothbrush Might Be Their Best Christmas Gift This Year

Could a FOREO ISSA 4 plus sonic toothbrush be their best Christmas gift? Here’s why it could delight someone who takes their dental routine seriously.

A toothbrush under the Christmas tree? For someone who takes their teeth seriously, a FOREO sonic toothbrush could be the present they’re still pleased to have opened come next Christmas.

We all know someone who packs their electric toothbrush for a single night away and has a spare brush head ready before the old one has worn out. You could buy them another box of chocolates, of course. 

But if they’ve had their eye on an upgrade, there’s a fair chance the toothbrush will get more use than anything else you put under the tree.

I bought a FOREO toothbrush for myself and, to be honest, it’s a game changer. Using one is what convinced me it could be a cracking Christmas present for someone who takes their dental routine seriously.

What makes the FOREO ISSA 4 plus different?

The ISSA 4 plus has a replaceable head that combines silicone and polymer bristles. Turn the head over and there’s a textured surface for cleaning the tongue and cheeks. The brush also has a lower-intensity setting for anyone who prefers a gentler feel, and a timer that prompts you to move on to the next quarter of your mouth. 

Those are the sorts of details a keen brusher is likely to appreciate long after the novelty of a new gadget has worn off.

Then there’s the battery. FOREO says the ISSA 4 plus can run for up to 365 days on one USB charge. Even if your recipient ends up charging it sooner, the prospect of packing the brush for a weekend away without having to fish out the charging cable is appealing. It comes with a travel pouch, too.

Make it feel like a Christmas present

A toothbrush is quite a personal gift, so I’d give one to someone who enjoys a good bathroom gadget or has already mentioned wanting a new electric brush. If you want to make a little more of it, wrap it with a compatible spare head and a washbag they can take on their next trip.

And yes, I’d still put a chocolate orange in their stocking. It is Christmas, after all. The chocolate orange will probably be gone by Boxing Day. The FOREO could be the gift they use every morning and night until it’s time to put the tree up again. That’s a pretty good case for calling it their best present of the year.
