Cost: $79.90 at Nordstrom.com.

Flags of Valor

What: These rustic, wooden flags are handcrafted by veterans, many of whom are service-disabled or have serious combat-related injuries. Another reason to feel good about buying one: This veteran-owned company has raised more than $1 million for veteran and first responder charities.

This set, a bestseller on Amazon, is ready to go right out of the box — just connect it to the Oculus mobile app. Insight tracking instantly reflects movements, and touch controllers make every game real enough to touch. You can also play Oculus sitting or standing.
