These appliances also save you time and hassle—you no longer need to worry about forgetting the load you started in the wash or discovering your clothes have mildewed.

Many of these models even have smart functionalities, so you can remotely start or pause the wash and dry cycle from your smartphone.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the only way you don’t know a coffee snob is if you are a coffee snob. And hey, we’re not judging.

If you haven’t explored the world of smart appliances just yet, this holiday season is the perfect time to rectify this. Models from manufacturers like LG or GE come packed with all sorts of features that will make you wonder how you managed without for so long. Like, how about an Energy Star fridge that includes a Keurig® K-cup® brewing system or the ability to schedule from your phone when your hot water needs to be ready for any single serve beverages?

Gift: Convection oven
Perfect for: You

Like we said, we love convection ovens. There is just so much you can do with them—your one stop shop to creating a perfect meal. The Bertazzoni Convection Oven, for instance, combines convection baking, electric grilling, and steam cooking. Through water-generated steam in the cooking cycle, moisture is more evenly disbursed to help seal in your flavors. So you can do more in one place, improve the quality and taste of your food, and cook more with its family-sized capacity. It’s the best of all possible worlds, which is why we believe one belongs in every kitchen.
