Still looking for a few more gifts this holiday season? There aren’t many people who wouldn’t like an Amazon Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen). It will work with many other devices, and you can get it for 59% off. At that price, you can get one for everyone on your shopping list and get one for yourself, too.
Start your day with Alexa with an alarm, followed by checking your calendar events for the day, the news, and the weather. Make a video call with the 2 MP camera to let colleagues who have the Alexa app or an Echo device know what’s on the agenda for the day or stream music or TV shows while you get ready. Make an announcement to the other compatible devices in your home to let your family know you’ll be leaving soon.
Alexa will help you do it all, going through your routine with you, such as turning on lights or setting the thermostat. Manage the rest of your smart home as well, even if you’re away. It’s the perfect companion to a Ring Video Doorbell. Display your photos on it when you’re not actively using it.
Come home at night and use the Amazon Echo Show 5 to unwind. Call your family to check in, check who’s on your doorstep if you have a Ring Doorbell, play a game, or stream a movie or TV show. Use it while you cook dinner to listen to an audiobook.
Don’t worry about privacy, as Amazon doesn’t sell your personal information and has multiple privacy controls, including a built-in camera shutter and an OFF button for the mic/camera.
Take $50 off to pay just $34.99 for this smart speaker with a display in Charcoal, Deep Sea Blue, or White. Also consider getting it with an adjustable stand or bundling it with a Blink Mini security camera. There’s also a kids’ version with parental controls for just $39.99.
