Get out the mistletoe, nutmeg and wreaths — the holidays are almost here! Which of course means you probably have a to-do and shopping list about a mile long.

Smart devices are a great way to shorten your list. They’re the perfect gift for anyone (not just the techie in the family) and can completely transform a space and routine. Also, during this busy season, smart tech can be a perfect holiday helper to keep you organized and connected — so don’t be afraid to treat yourself!

Our Smart Home experts have some recommendations of smart devices that are fan favorites and perfect for under the tree or in stockings!

Keep connected to what matters with the Home Hub.

The holidays are a time for family. So what’s better than a gift that keeps everyone connected? Whether you’re across the house or the country, the Google Nest Hub Max helps busy families stay in touch and on track.

It has a 10” HD screen to stream video, built-in stereo speakers and a 3” woofer. Plus there’s a built-in Nest Cam so you can check in on the home while you’re away and make video calls or leave video messages with a Google Duo account.* It’s hands-free, so just say, “Hey Google, call Grandma.”

With all this and more, the Google Nest Hub Max is the perfect gift to stay connected.

Plug into the holidays.

Electronic devices are a common item found under the tree for the holidays. So a device that gives you wireless control over them, kind of a perfect gift, right?

A Wemo Mini Smart Plug setup allows you to control your electronics right from your phone or tablet! It uses your existing home Wi-Fi network to provide wireless control of lamps, heaters, fans, your coffeemaker and more. It’s also super easy to install. Just plug the Wemo Mini into an electrical outlet, connect a device or small appliance to it, then control it with an app on your phone.

A smart plug is a gift your friends and family will love (and a great opportunity to treat yourself)!  

Keep your home secure whether you’re out caroling or visiting family.

Heading out of town for the holidays? A secure, tamper-proof lock from Nest and Yale will keep your home secure while you’re away.

The Nest x Yale Smart Lock with Nest Connect is keyless, so you can lock and unlock the door from anywhere with the Nest app. Plus it can lock automatically when you’re away. This is perfect for a season where rushing around is the default and it’s so easy to forget to lock up!

Whether it’s to keep your house safe during the holiday season and beyond, or to give a loved one the gift of having peace of mind — definitely put this smart lock on your short list for presents.
