With the holidays just around the corner, you’re probably struggling with what to get for family and friends, as well as what to tell them you want. Here are some “smart” holiday gift ideas.
1. “Smart” Bird Feeders
This may not be the right time to talk about bird feeders, but if you or someone you know are avid avian fans, smart bird feeders are fun. Smart bird feeders have a camera that allows you to view birds feeding both in real time and on video.
2. “Smart” Button Pusher
This is a button you can access from your phone and can be programmed to press buttons for almost anything from lights to computers to coffee makers.
3. “Smart” Air Tags
These are great little items that help you track things you often misplace, such as keys or wallets. They are also great for tracking checked luggage.
4. “Smart” Locks
Another great idea for people who forget their keys. Smart locks can be programmed to open doors via codes, fingerprints, or a variety of other options.
5. “Smart” Video Doorbells
Speaking of doors, a smart video doorbell will let you see “who’s that knocking at your door” whether you are home or away.
6. “Smart” Light Bulbs
You can program smart light bulbs to turn on and off at designated times, as well as adjust them in real-time on your phone or tablet.
7. “Smart” Outdoor Lights
You can install smart programmable outdoor lights that have dozens of scenes, or you can create your own. Christmas, Hanukkah, the Fourth of July, Halloween, a birthday, or anything else.
8. “Smart” Speakers
Want to listen to music anytime, anywhere? A smart speaker connects to your smartphone or tablet so you can listen to your tunes at your convenience.
9. “Smart” Thermostats
We’ve talked ad nauseum about these, but smart thermostats allow you to program the temperature based on time of day, day of week, etc. They can even learn your habits and adjust the temperature based on that. A great way to control comfort and energy bills.
10. “Smart” Vacuums and Mops
Just turn it on and relax as it vacuums and mops your floors while avoiding items that are lying on the floor.
