This Techie Tuesday edition features a few smart home items you can probably still get in time to wrap and squeeze under the tree!

Can’t think of what to get your Techie Spouse? How about a smart mug you can both use? (Clever, huh?)

Ember Mug

This cute, little, smart mug will set and keep your coffee or tea the perfect temperature set by, you. You stepped away from your mug you say? The Ember app will ping you when it is ready.

How did this make my list of smart home items, you may be asking?

Well, if you have open shelving and abide by the “nothing but white, wood or greenery is allowed on these shelves!!!” rule that I maniacally enforce in our house, then you will be happy to allow this little darling real estate on those lovely open shelves. So there. Can’t you imagine it sitting there on its cute little saucer??

Side note: I am sooooo going to get some flack for this from my SO. He got me one a couple of years back, and I just wasn’t into it then. But I am now. Sometimes it’s all about timing you know ; )

ORI Studio Suite

Okay, so this one isn’t going to exactly fit under the tree, but…Imagine this…

The man of your dreams that lives in your apartment building that you’ve been chatting it up with for the past two years finally asks if you’d like to get together for coffee and to watch Billions. Ummm Yes!!!! But he has a coworker squatting with him this week.

Ick. Hmmm… Well, you could invite him over to your place. Except. You ran out the door this morning. Without. Making. Your. Bed.

What kind of wife material will he think you are with an unkempt bed?!

Chill. Open that app on your phone, and your bed will be tucked away neatly by the time the elevator hits the fourth floor. Apartment. Clean. Yes.

(Relax everyone - it’s just a silly story. Offended? Okay. pretend it’s your mother you happened to run into at the corner market and insists she’s going to help you up to your apartment with the groceries. Better now?

Either way. Bed. Out of sight. Win. (Among many other cool features, for the record)

Meural Digital Canvas Frame

This one is super cool - hang this frame on your wall and it will display your choice of thousands of works of art (including your own if you so choose) Letting you change up the art as you feel like. Redecorating? No problem - it will change with you!

Muzen Radio & Bluetooth Speaker

There are a slew of Bluetooth speakers on the market right now, but this little vintage cutie serves as an interesting conversation starter, and doesn’t look like just a another piece of tech!
