New home gift ideas for the ultimate housewarming present

If you've got an Echo Dot, you'll already know how handy it is to have around the home, making it a great option for a housewarming gift. Certain tasks can be performed via Alexa voice command, like setting a timer for cooking dinner and an alarm for the morning wake up. It can also be used to play music, check the weather and news, and can be paired with other smart devices, like lightbulbs and plugs, to add automation to the daily routine.

Review: "I just received my Alexa bot yesterday. I can immediately say it is multifunctional in a number of creative ways. Alexa can entertain you with a wide range of sounds and music. You can ask Alexa educational questions and Alexa will achieve mathematical and geographical answers. Alexa can give you the time, date, alarm, reminders s and even the temperature. Alexa actually has fun sarcasm! Alexa can call people for you. Alexa can add things to your Amazon basket. Alexa can control other utilities you connect it to so that it is integrated with Alexa. Above all, you can ask this awesome device stupid questions or standard questions thus fulfilling a reasonable expectation. The price for Alexa is affordable and I'm happy I bought this. Thank you"

Review: "As a new home gift, what could be better - I loved the little saying about new adventures, and the little house charm too. This is very well made stainless steel, absolutely no sharp or rough edges, and it’s sturdy, it’ll last. I think it cost about £7-8 when I bought it, and it was a bargain. For the recipient, they loved it straight away and they’re still using it, so that says it all."

Review: "The quality of this doorbell is excellent at this price. It took a bit of tweaking until I was happy with the settings on the app but by the third day it had already picked up someone snooping around on the neighbours driveway so it has already proven useful even as a motion detector camera. Haven't had much use to try it as an interaction with a visitor to speak to yet but the video and sound quality of detected motion is very clear."
