  The LG BP145 Blu-Ray Player can make a great gift this Holiday Season, especially if you were to combine it with a couple of great movies.

It is a brand-name LG product and comes with some pretty decent features.

For the past couple of years, Belkin has been slowly but surely growing their line of WeMo products.  The Smart Lighting system is a new addition to the mix, and is a little different than the others.  While most WeMo products communicate directly with the app, the bulbs communicate through a centralized plugged in cube (called the “Link”) and works from there.  It’s way easier to set up than it sounds, and it’s now available at Best Buy.  Come check it out!
