Gifts for the smart tech genius

Who is the smart tech genius?

We all know one, whether it’s a friend, family member, or colleague. They’re the person who’s always up on the cutting-edge technology and loves to experiment with new gear. They’re also the first to understand that the smarter a device, the greater and more positive an impact it can have on helping you maintain an efficient home, or even a safer car.

They keep up-to-date with the latest technology and are not afraid to dive right in and try out the newest trends. They aren’t intimidated by technology, they thrive when exposed to it, and they love educating others, too. And they’re always excited about adding new gadgets and gizmos to the home and car to make things run more smoothly, conveniently, and in true high-tech fashion.

What types of smart home and car products are available?

There’s a wide selection of smart home products and car gadgets to satisfy the curiousity of the smart tech genius on your holiday gift list.

For the home, items you can get as smart home tech gifts range from smart speakers and displays or viewscreens, like the Google Home, Amazon Echo, and others, as well as smart light bulbs from companies like Philips Hue, security cameras and doorbells from brands like Ring, smart door locks from companies like August, televisions from LG, Sony, Samsung, and more, as well as items like garage door openers, thermostats, small appliances, motion sensors, hubs, and more, from a wide variety of brands.

Thousands of products from popular brands can be controlled from a single dashboard, app, or even by voice using a platform like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple Siri. So, the smart tech genius can mix and match, controlling everything from one interface. Some smart devices, like the Google Nest Hub, even include screens so they can be used for video calling or displaying photos or pertinent information like the weather, web search results, and videos.

For the car, options range from dash cams from companies like Thinkware, to aftermarket Apple CarPlay and/or Android Auto-enabled in-dash receivers from brands like Pioneer and JVC Kenwood that can pair with a smartphone via Bluetooth for seamlessly accessing navigation, podcasts, streaming music, answering calls, and more. Don’t forget a mount so they can prop their smartphone up on the dash or windshield to be able to seamlessly keep in touch with and control their smart home devices while out (and safely parked, of course!)

Why buy smart home and car gear for the smart tech genius?

The smart tech genius is always looking to expand their collection of smart home and car gear, try new devices, enhance an existing system, and outfit new rooms of the home to make them smarter.

The smart tech savvy person will welcome smart technology gifts this holiday season, making their homes, cars, and lives overall a bit smarter, simpler, and easier to manage, not to mention more fun.
