Another holiday season has arrived, and when it comes to picking out the perfect gifts, many of us are on the lookout for the newest innovations in home and entertainment technology.

Whether shopping for a tech-savvy sibling, a third cousin once removed or your better half, sorting through the endless options of home tech devices and appliances can be a stressful challenge. To make the process seamless, check out the list below of gift ideas that rise above the rest for 2023.

Amazon Echo Show 8
Start modernizing your home by bringing in a smart-home hub device that will bolster existing entertainment systems and streamline daily activities. Built around Amazon’s Alexa voice AI, the Echo Show 8 brings a visual element to the smart home assistant that provides practical benefits as well as entertainment. The Echo Show 8 offers voice responsiveness and an eight-inch HD touchscreen you can use to control other smart appliances, manage tasks and stream all your preferred content.

Smart Home Fragrance Air Diffuser by Pura
A scented air diffuser is a subtle, safe candle alternative that can help turn your house into a home. The new Pura 4 is this season’s best, with its vast catalog of luxurious, long-lasting scents that are easily exchangeable. The Pura 4 boasts improved Puralast technology that gives each scent vial up to 120 hours of fresh-smelling air. The Pura app is user-friendly, from initial setup all the way to customizing the diffuser’s daily schedule and scent replacement options.

Eufy E220 Indoor Security Camera
It’s important to have a robust home security system, and the addition of an effective indoor security camera, such as the Eufy E220, can provide peace of mind. Whether checking on the little ones and pets, or just scanning the room with its 360-degree rotating ability, this camera delivers high-quality video and plenty of useful specs with motion tracking, two-way audio and easy video access on the app.

Cync Full Color Direct Connect Smart Bulb
If you’re wondering why we’re suggesting a light bulb as a gift, just wait until you see what it can do. This Cync smart bulb by GE possesses a nearly infinite array of color options that can be used to set a mood or curate your desired aesthetic. The bulb connects to Bluetooth and WiFi, as well as Alexa and Google Hub devices, meaning you can manage your home’s lighting from the convenience of your phone or smart device.

Hamilton Beach Smart Coffee Maker
Have any coffee connoisseurs on your list? This 12-cup coffee maker from Hamilton Beach is Alexa compatible, can automatically brew based on your schedule and start up via voice activation. Other helpful features include an auto shutoff after two hours and routine cleaning reminders, so you don’t have to stress about safety concerns.

Catch:2 Dual Device Charging Pad by Courant
Finding a quality wireless charger that looks as good as it functions can prove challenging. Enter the Catch:2 by Courant. The linen-lined charging pad is available in various neutral colors that will look great on your desk or in your living area without standing out. Roughly eight inches long and three inches wide, the charging surface accommodates two devices at once, so you can charge your smartphone and Qi-compatible (a global standard for charging) headphones simultaneously and without the clutter of tangled wires.

And for the system that keeps your smart home running smoothly, we recommend our own C Spire Smart WiFi, powered by Plume. Beyond improved speed and bandwidth, upgrading to Smart WiFi will also give you access to features like parental control and active threat monitoring to ensure a safer home internet experience.

To get the most out of your WiFi and smart devices, see if C Spire Fiber is available for your home.
