Useful Gifts for the Home by Epson

If you have someone on your list who works from home, you might be looking for something they can use. If their printer is on its last leg, or they just need something a little more efficient, the Epson ET-4750 is it. This printer provides high-quality prints in seconds, making their work-from-home days easier. It is made for high-productivity businesses so they can create prints fast and with fantastic color.

The Epson ET-4750 is a high efficiency printer allowing you to load more paper- up to 250 sheets at a time – so you aren’t constantly replacing the paper. The easy touch-and-swipe navigation screen makes it easy to do what you need- make copies, scan, or print.

One of the most unique features of the Epson ET-4750 is its ink cartridges- or lack thereof. The person on your list will get up to two years of ink right away with their new printer. And this ink isn’t costly to replace- it can print up to 14,000 pages of black and 11,200 pages with color. It would take 30 traditional cartridges to do the same. The supersize tanks are easy to install and give you long-lasting results at a fraction of the price.

Make your work-from-home loved one more productive this season with the new Epson ET-4750 printer.

Useful Gifts for the Home by Honeywell

Is there ever a better gift to give someone than clean air and healthy breathing? Honeywell is on hand to ensure that homes are free of airborne pollutants and to make breathing easy.

This Honeywell Bluetooth Smart HEPA Air Purifier can be operated and viewed from a smart phone. Whether ordering additional filters or setting a timer to mandate run time, the bluetooth smart purifier is cutting edge technology.

It also allows for custom schedules, so that your device can run only when family members are home, or keep it running more often.

The smart air purifier is sure to kick your health up a notch, with bluetooth capabilities that track and provide data. Additionally, you are able to check up on the air quality within your home while gone on vacation, on a business trip, or even on a day adventure away with your family. There is no time like the present to validate that your family is being given limitless opportunities to stay in high quality health. Honeywell Air Purifiers are available in a variety of needs, ranging from general air cleanliness, those who suffer from allergies, and odor reduction.

Features of the Honeywell Bluetooth Smart HEPA Air Purifier to fall in love with:

• Compatible with Android or iPhone devices, where phones can operate as a remote
• Operational (via phone) from up to 30 feet away from the Smart device
• Compact style allows for aesthetically pleasing options
• Continuously running fan for pulling in airborne pollutants, odors, and allergy-inducing germs
• Once the air is thoroughly filtered and cleaned, it is recirculated back into the room

The powerful HEPA filters work by sucking air out the room and into the filters, where they get to work right away on maintaining a healthy household. Once the air has passed through the filters, they capture minute particles like dust, pet dander, smoke, pollen, and mold spores.

Give the gift of healthy air this holiday season. There is no greater gift and no bigger worry than one’s health. Whether shopping for yourself or others this holiday season, consider investing in future years of quality living.

Useful Gifts for the Home by simplehuman

You know you’re getting old when things on your wish list are “trash can ” and “dish rack” but it happens to the best of us. Why not get the people what they ask for this holiday season even if it is something that will be useful and helpful for their every day life?

Make it a gift to remember though, by classing it up with kitchen accessories from simplehuman. The simplehuman sensor trashcan offers a sleek look with powerful technology. The motion sensor on the top opens the lid for you so you aren’t sticking sticky fingers on to the top, touching a dirty trash can, or trying to find the foot pedal with hands full of garbage from your last holiday party. The fingerprint resistant stainless steel will make all moms (and those kitchen neat freaks) happy that they aren’t wiping down grubby fingers every two seconds.

And with the holidays comes lots of dishes. A brand new compact dish rack like this one from simplehuman doesn’t take up a ton of counter space. Its sleek design doesn’t take away from the overall look of the kitchen, and takes one job off your hands- drying all those fine china plates that can’t go in the dishwasher.

Even smart trashcans and high quality dish drying racks can be an amazing gift to give this holiday season. As long as they are from simplehuman.

Useful Gifts for the Home by Huggaroo

If you haven’t jumped on the weighted blanket bandwagon yet, you are missing out. These magical blankets are a natural sleep aid, help you fall asleep faster and get better quality sleep, feel more refreshed in the morning, toss and turn less, lower anxiety, and reduce stress. By activating the parasympathetic nervous system, the Huggaroo 15-pound weighted blanket lowers levels of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline (decreasing anxiety), and triggers the release of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which improve mood and soothe aches. Now do you see why we said they were magical?

Huggaroo’s weighted blanket was developed by a psychologist, so its design carries extra clout. It’s a two-piece blanket, with a soft, minky outer layer (available in 5 colors, with dark gray shown here), and an inner weighted layer made with food-grade polypropylene pellets. Both pieces are machine washable.

And if you want even more relaxation, Huggaroo offers a therapeutic hot/cold neck wrap that is pretty much one of our favorite gift ideas this holiday season. This microwaveable/freezer safe wrap is filled with clay beads and flax seeds, as well as lavender, chamomile, peppermint, and lemongrass. The herbs emit a gentle, soothing scent, while the wrap eases sore muscles, helps with headaches and migraines, and reduces stress.

Useful Gifts For The Home by Sleepgram Pillows

Sleepgram has revolutionized the way we buy, use, and enjoy pillows. Each one is customizable. That’s right. Customizable So one pillow is actually three pillows. And you can mix and match the components until you get your perfect level of firmness. You can try these for 100 nights before you commit (but we can pretty much guarantee you’ll love them immediately!).

Sleepgram pillows come as one pillow, with two additional inserts. You can use the pillow as-is, or add one insert, or two, in order to reach your own personal comfort level. Covered in a breathable percale weave, the silky fibers inside keep the pillow cool all night long. They are cruelty-free, allergen-resistant, machine washable, and won’t bunch or clump. 

Be sure to cover your Sleepgram pillow in their signature pillowcase, made special to fit Sleepgram’s large size. Standard pillowcases may not accommodate a full pillow, but these absolutely will, and allow your pillow to conform and not be compressed by a case that’s too small.
