Many of us have downsized at this point in our lives, so small, sleek and practical gadgets make perfect gifts! . Here are some of our favorite “smart” ideas for empty nesters (#ad):

Fabulous and fun gadgets for seniors:

Intelligent aromatherapy – what will they think of next!  You can use it like a normal diffuser or download the companion app to control features like LED color, mist intensity, timer settings, scheduling and more directly from your phone. This smart diffuser works by creating 360° ultra sonic frequencies that instantly atomize water and oil molecules into the air. The result is a much healthier alternative than older style heat diffusers that can damage essential oils during the heat diffusion process. These great gadgets for seniors are also Alexa and Google Home compatible and can be used with echo/tap/dot to control simply by using your voice. A large 400ml water tank allows for up to 12 hours of continuous mist!
