Gifting a personal assistant may not be in the cards, but the Google Nest Hub is the next best thing. Whether it’s for your mother who is living independently (but you appreciate the connected peace of mind) or to keep your busy family on track for the day, the device is the perfect way to get into the smart home space — especially at this 40% off price. Connect to your lights, locks and security cameras to monitor remotely; set daily morning or evening routines; call the kids to dinner; or play music and stream shows. The 7″ by 5″ display is large enough to see a recipe or follow along with a YouTube tutorial, too. It’s the present your recipient won’t think to ask for but will be thrilled to receive. “Excellent product — it works like a champ. The display is stunning and the speed of the hub is impressive. The sound is also very good,” one reviewer raved.

For that giftee struggling to cut the cable cord, this sleek device is a great push in the right direction. Once it’s synced to your home WiFi network, any entertainment lover will have access to favorites like Prime, Netflix and Hulu, plus over 350 free live TV channels from Roku. The screen quality is incredible with HD, 4K or HDR picture, and the setup is simple — just plug into your TV and connect to the internet. At under $20, this Walmart Black Friday deal is worth snapping up early. “Bought for my elderly mother and she loves it! It’s very easy to use and works pretty fast as well. Love that you can also use your phone as a remote. Now she can watch her BritBox period piece movies on a bigger screen instead of her phone and tablet,” said one satisfied customer. 

Holiday movie nights are right around the corner so if you’ve been itching for a big-screen TV, now’s the time. The Walmart Black Friday sale has the LG 70-inch smart set on massive sale right now — it’s $150 off! Under $500 for a 70-inch TV from an incredible brand? Yes, please. With an LED display, 4K resolution, and built-in access to Netflix, AppleTV, Disney+ and HBO Max, there’s something for sports fans, romance lovers, and binge-watchers alike. “I purchased this TV for my new apartment last month, and I am absolutely in love! The quality of the picture and sound is remarkable. The home screen is so easy to navigate through apps and the feature of being able to use your phone as a remote is so convenient. It feels like I have a smartphone as a television and I couldn’t be any happier with my purchase,” wrote a shopper. 

For the gardener trying to see the deer eating all her strawberries or the family wanting to monitor their front door from afar, this under $30 outdoor camera is the tool they need for their peeping. Watch and record in high definition, get alerts and view live video on your phone. There’s two-way audio if you need to answer a question from a delivery driver. Night vision, a rechargeable battery and a weather-resistant design round out the features. The easy setup will have you connected to Wifi and recording in just two minutes. “This is a great security camera. We put it outside of our front door so we can use our phone to see who’s outside. You can set off an alarm or spot a light right from the app. Makes me feel much better knowing we have some additional security at the house,” explained a five-star fan. 

If that friend who hosts summer backyard movie nights could use an upgrade to their projector system, make their year with this one that’s just over $100 — that’s 70% off.

It uses LCD and LED technology to project videos to an incredible 300 inches across, and it’s WiFi-enabled to stream from Netflix or Hulu. Put it on the floor or tabletop to beam your footage onto a wall, or take it outside and project your image onto the side of the house or garage. This reviewer said the device is easy to use and great for children: “I love this projector. My kids love to use it when they have pals over — they’re able to watch films anywhere and it’s easy to set up.”
