What are some tech items that make your life easier?
Slowly but surely tackling my list of Christmas gifts to buy this year. However, I can’t seem to figure out what I want for Christmas myself. I don’t need anything in particular this year, but I’m trying to think of some practical gifts I could ask for.
Are there any cool tech items that make your life easier and you love? I think I’ll start here.

Good question. My family struggles finding gifts for me. It’s hard for them to know what would actually be helpful. I don’t give lists either because I kind of enjoy seeing what they come up with on their own. It can be interesting to say the least.
Is there anything in particular you’re struggling with? Typically I try to identify a problem, then find if there’s a gadget that can offer a solution. On my wish list (even though I don’t make lists) is a towel warmer. I’m always cold after a shower and maybe a warm towel would be the ticket. Has anyone tried one?

I got a towel warmer when I remodeled my bathroom last year. The one I have doesn’t make my towels noticeably hot (they don’t feel like they’re out of the dryer) – but it does stop them from feeling cold, which they used to. I really like it!

Wait, a towel warmer is a great idea! I hate showering because of how freezing cold I get. That’s so smart. Do you have a link to your towel warmer Micaela?
I have extremely limited hand and arm mobility and can only use my phone. So whatever gadget I get would have to come with an app; otherwise, I can’t use it. I can use Alexa too, but she’s temperamental and only understands me sometimes. Better for me to rely on apps because I’m attached to my phone and use Alexa as a backup.

Sorry, I can’t find the model I got.
I use a smart plug so I can turn it on and off with my phone – really easy to set up!

No worries! Adding a smart plug is a great idea too.

Last year my wife bought me a towel warmer from sharper image. I almost never use it, but it has saved me from shivering when I come in from the cold a few times.

That’s smart! Have you ever tried a heated blanket?
