Gifts Ideas For Homeowners

December 6, 2019

Golden Gift

Figuring out what to buy for friends and loved ones during the holidays isn’t always easy. While some people are easy to shop for, there are always a few people on your list who seem to have everything they might want. Fortunately, there are a few things that you can get for around the home that they might never buy for themselves. Here are a few suggestions for things that they’ll not only appreciate but actually USE.


Digital Assistants

Both Google Home and Amazon’s Echo smart speaker with Alexa are pretty standard these days, and both platforms are adding new features frequently. Not only can you use one of these digital assistants to play music or find out the weather forecast, but you can also have them tell you jokes, cast video to smart TVs, look up recipes, and even set timers or access your calendar. Companion apps for smartphones will also let your recipient take their assistant with them when they’re away from the house, as well.

Smart Thermostats

Heating and cooling costs constitute a significant expense. Fortunately, there is an increasing number of options out there for smart thermostats that adjust temperatures automatically to help keep prices low. These thermostats can not only make changes based on their programming, but some can even make adjustments on their own when they sense that no one is in the house. Connecting them to smartphone apps would also allow your recipient to control the temperature while away from home so that everything’s just perfect when they get back.

Home Automation Accessories

Digital assistants and smart thermostats aren’t the only home automation options out there. Smart lighting, smart locks, window sensors, leak sensors, and even smart smoke detectors are all available to give your friends or loved-ones new ways to interact with their home. Best of all, most of these devices can be configured to work together to achieve effects like automatically turning on lights when the door is unlocked.

Alternative Appliances

The modern homeowner deserves so much more than an oven, and a microwave can give them. Fortunately, there are a number of options out there that offer up new culinary options while also being extremely giftable. Instant Pot cookers, sous vide cookers, and even air fryers offer new possibilities for fixing meals that your gift recipient might never have considered. Many of them are programmable as well and can even be monitored or controlled remotely via dedicated apps.

High-Quality Streaming

More people are “cutting the cord” and moving away from traditional cable television than ever before. In addition to Netflix, consumers looking for quality digital content have options with Amazon, Hulu, Disney+, CBS All Access, and more, and the forthcoming HBO Max streaming service will be here next year. It could be a great time to get your recipient ready for all of this content with a Roku or other streaming device capable of handling HD or 4K streams without buffering or losing picture quality in the process. Pair it with a soundbar or other sound solution to take their entertainment experience up a notch.

Clearing the Air

There are several common pollutants that can foul the air we breathe. Help your recipient to breathe a sigh of relief by giving them an ionizing air filter or other air purifiers to cut out a lot of these unwanted smells and irritants. This will help to keep the air breathable and odor-free, and the units themselves are easy to clean so that it won’t add a significant new chore to their routine.


Happy Holidays
