Echo Show
For home chefs
Though you can do pretty much anything with this video-equipped speaker (watch TV, FaceTime friends, etc.), we think it’s especially handy to have in the kitchen. There, you can view step-by-step recipes, set timers, play music, and add items to your grocery list through Alexa commands, making dinnertime a total breeze.
Tile Mate with Replaceable Battery
For the slightly scatterbrained
Where is your phone right now? Your keys? If you’re not entirely sure, you might be the type who could benefit from the Tile Mate, which ensures you won’t lose your things ever again. All you have to do is attach the Tile onto your keyring, and then download the Tile app on your phone. When your phone is lost, press the button on the Tile to trigger a ringing sound (even when it’s on silent). When the keys are lost, use the app on your phone to make them ring, too. Easy peasy.
