Smart Speakers are the gift that keep on giving 

There’s nothing like receiving a gift you’re excited to put to use, and a smart speaker is just that. Smart speakers are straightforward devices that bring your favourite music and podcasts to life, but they also have plenty of other uses.  Smart Speakers can make to-do lists, aid in tasks, and quickly answer questions. When paired with other devices or electronics in the house, they can also provide easier functionality of all the electronic devices throughout your home. 

Make school easier with a Smart Speaker

Your sister or friend may be livin’ la vida dorm room these days, and sometimes it can get stagnant in there. You can help amp up her room with some new tech that will bring life to her dorm. A Google Nest Mini can set alarms, play music at dorm-room friendly levels, all while also being her research assistant as she studies. Plus, they come in a variety of fun colours to suit her feng shui. 

Bring her home to life with Voice Command 

It’s no secret that life is getting busier everyday; making every-day tasks easier can lessen stress and create more time to get other things done. Give her the gift of effortlessness. When used with other devices, Smart speakers make her home more functional and her devices easily accessible. Pairing an Amazon Echo or Google Home Max with it’s compatible Smart Plugs will allow her to turn on and off lights, and control other electronic devices throughout the house. 

Make her home gym her sanctuary  

With at-home workouts getting more and more popular, many people are creating home gyms in their own spaces. This requires an allocated space, mats, weights, and other exercise equipment. A smart speaker is a great addition to a home gym space as well. If she’s a visual exerciser, she can use Google Nest Hub Max or Alexa Echo Show to stream her favourite work out videos. Or just use a classic Google Home if she prefers using just audio instructions, or to play her favourite music. For more info on the Google Nest Hub check out this review.

You can call directly through your smart device and freely roam about as if you’re in the same room together. To feel even closer, an Amazon Alexa Echo Show or Google Nest Hub Max will make calling her loved ones feel like they’re right by her.
