2. Electric Kettle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your household uses stovetop kettles or the microwave to heat your water, it\u2019s time to invest in an electric kettle. Firstly, you can get hot water faster. But, electric kettles also use less electricity, so they\u2019re the cheaper option long-term. Give your family the gift of sipping on hot tea on Christmas Day, knowing they\u2019ll save money on electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This kettle from Hamilton Beach<\/a> lets you control what temperature you want to heat your water to. Plus, the glass exterior lets you see how the water boils, so it\u2019s an aesthetic addition to any kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This gadget pushes buttons for you. While that seems awfully simple, it\u2019s actually very convenient. You connect the SwitchBot to your phone and remotely turn on any rocker or push-button switch. Turn on computers, fans, or appliances from your smart phone. With this, switching the light on will be as easy as switching electric companies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you can even activate them with Alexa or Google. Lastly, at 100 ft length, you can illuminate a whole room, even after Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Water Leak Detector<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, water leaks can damage your house and cost you hundreds if not thousands of dollars. With a Fibaro flood sensor<\/a>, your loved ones won’t have to worry about this anymore. This little device vigilantly checks your water pressure and sends alerts to your phone if anything is wrong.
