Trying to reach Smart House status? Smart Learning & Programmable thermostats (such as Nest or Ecobee) make incredible gifts that keep on giving after the holiday! They can sense the temperature in various rooms and adjust accordingly, be adjusted from anywhere via an app on your phone, and learns your habits the more you use it. They connect with your other smart home devices (Nest connects to Google Home and Ecobee syncs with Alexa/Amazon). Most importantly?

  1. Grow Garden Kits

Give the gift of a green thumb! With unique and quirky themed kits available such as Grow Cocktails and Grow Pizza, even a novice gardener will appreciate the fun behind these garden kits by Backyard Safari Company. Obviously, a martini cannot and will not bloom from your Grow Cocktails garden (instead you get a variety of herbs used in specialty cocktails such as mint and lavender) but it sure opens a world of drink possibilities once you begin to harvest your crop! Cheers!
