- Works with Alexa for voice control (Alexa device sold separately).
- SAVE ENERGY WITH NEST: Nest introduces the 3rd generation Nest Learning Thermostat. With four beautiful colors to choose from and an easy to read display, this thermostat will help make your home not only smart but energy efficient. With just a few manual adjustments, the Nest Thermostat can learn your habits and start to save you money by automatically adjusting the temperature.
- READ THE DISPLAY FROM ACROSS THE ROOM: The Nest Thermostat does something new. It’s called Farsight, and it lights up to show you the temperature, weather or time. You can even choose a digital or analog clock face. Farsight is big and bright on the beautiful display – you can see it from across the room.
- A STYLE FOR EVERY HOME: The Nest Learning Thermostat now comes in four fantastic colors; Copper, Stainless Steel, Black, and White. Choose copper to add a warm touch. Stainless steel is perfect for a classic, versatile look. Black blends in with dark walls and stylish decor. And white looks great in simple, modern homes.

Look for the Works with Nest badge and let Nest handle the rest.
- THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE A NEST HOME: We love home. It’s the best place in the world. But not everything inside our homes is lovable. Some things beep at us; fail without warning; keep us in the dark. There are things we’ve learned to ignore. We think these things should do more. Nest is focused on making simple, human, delightful things. That’s how we’re creating the thoughtful home: A home that takes care of the people inside it and the world around it.

These are very high tech! I know my hubby would LOVE those Beats headphones. I’d love them too, that way I don’t have to listen to him watching YouTube videos!
All fun ideas! I think the Tile is so cool – I could see my dad enjoying one of those to keep track of his keys or phone. haha

I know! I kinda want to get one! I’m not usually in the habit of losing my keys or phone though…but still looks cool!
These are AWESOME gift Ideas. I usually have a hard time finding my husband gifts, because he just gets whatever he wants himself. I know he doesn’t have most of these items though. Thanks so much!
I vote for the electronics organizer kit. Very useful and handy and not the “usual” gift either!
