2. Amazon Echo Plus, $149.99
This is the gift that every home needs. Amazon Echo Plus allows you to set up and control other smart home devices. “Echo Plus connects to Amazon Alexa—a cloud-based voice service—to play music, make calls, set timers and alarms, ask questions, check traffic and weather, and more—instantly.” You can call and message anyone using just your voice with Echo. Echo can hear your voice from any direction, even when you’re blasting that new Taylor Swift song. Don’t feel like shopping individually for your sister’s four kids? Amazon Echo Plus makes a great family gift.
3. Nintendo Switch, $299.99
This is the game system we’ve been waiting for. You can play at home and connect to your tv, or you can easily take it on the go in handheld mode to play by yourself anywhere.

This gift is ideal for just about anyone who loves gaming or needs a way to pass the time on that long commute to work.
