A perfect gift for someone who’s into photography.

10_dreame robot vacuumPrice: $599. If you’re sharing your living space with your family, a smart home gadget will make for a great gift, as it improves the lives of everyone in the household. While you can go for different options here like a smart security system, or smart lighting accessories, the most useful gadget of them all is a robot vacuum. Dreametech Z10 Pro is one of the current leaders when it comes to the top robot vacuum cleaners. It’s completely automated thanks to its clip-on water tank and mop, and an auto-empty dock. On its first use, you’ll need to connect your Dreame Z10 Pro to your home WiFi network and use the Xiaomi Home app to allow your robot vacuum to scan and memorize your entire place. After that, you can set it to clean your house automatically at a certain time of day. Don’t be afraid if you have children or pets running around the house, Dreame Z10 Pro has superior sensors and will stop the cleaning processes if it detects someone or something blocking its path. Dreame Z10 Pro comes with 4 suction settings (quiet, standard, strong, and turbo) which you can change manually. The quiet mode is a great option for morning cleaning when you don’t want to wake anyone. The turbo setting allows for some proper deep cleaning, like removing gravy stains from your carpet after the dinner is finished.
Happy Thanksgiving!
While we’re certain any of these gadgets would make for a great gift, it doesn’t mean they’d be the perfect gift for the techie in your life. If you’re struggling with choosing the right gift for a special person in your life, sometimes the best strategy is to ask them what they’d like to get. Of course, it’d ruin the surprise part but you’ll also ensure that no one will leave the party disappointed. What would be a perfect tech gift for you this Thanksgiving?
