Once you have Alexa, it's time to deck out your outlets with these smart plugs. Use your voice to control lights, lamps and any other electronics that are a pain to turn on and off manually. These are especially great around the holidays for light timers when you're not home.

Echo Show (2nd Gen)

When I was a kid, I remember having a tiny tv in our kitchen that I thought was revolutionary. This is like that times a thousand. You can watch tons of shows and movies, listen to music, make video calls to family and friends and anything else that you usually do with Alexa. Having one in the kitchen is especially useful when you're watching cooking videos, making shopping lists or setting timers.
