The Top Gizmos in 2024
Looking for the perfect gift for that family member who loves cutting edge gear? Every family has at least one…the uncle or cousin who has every type of “smart” gizmo, who can seemingly cook a meal or do his laundry from across the country. If they’re on your holiday gift list this year, here are some ideas that will put a big smile on their faces.
The Personal Belongings Tracker
Who hasn’t had their luggage take a side trip courtesy of the airlines? Or had a child forget where they left a backpack or lunch box? There are a number of competing products, but they all offer a small GPS-enabled tracking device that pairs with your smart phone. They’re also very affordable, with most retailing around $25.
Your Own Personal Art Museum
Samsung is partnering with art museums around the world to bring many of history’s most famous paintings to consumers. The Frame TV lets you hang Da Vinci or Van Gogh on your wall, but also features a matte display that minimizes glare. The 65-inch screen has a sensor that turns the screen off when no one is in the room.
High-Tech Maid Service
Those little devices that roam around cleaning your floor have really amped up their game. You can now get a cleaning robot that mops and vacuums.
Never Worry about Losing Your Keys Again
Keyless entry has been around for a while, but now you can use your smart phone to unlock any door. The installation is easy, estimated to take less than half an hour, even for someone without technological skills.
Take Care of Fido…Even When You’re Not Home
We love our dogs and hate to leave them at home when we have to go to work, to the store or on any type of errand. Now you can get a three-in-one device to help you keep in company with your dog. It features a camera, so you can see what Spot is up to, a two-way audio connection, so that you can tell him to get off the couch, and even a way to give your dog a treat remotely.
