Tech life upgrade: Set multiple timers on Alexa
🪵 No fireplace? No problem: Put this crackling Yule log video on the TV so everyone focuses on quality time together. There’s no music, so you can pick your favorite!
Save your butt: Maybe you ignored this yesterday, but I’ve got your back. Grab an Amazon gift card and print out the details or email it to them. Here’s a trick to make a gift card feel special: Put it in a little box, then put that inside a bigger box. Put that one in another box. Now wrap it all up, and they’ll have a fun surprise opening it.
🍗 Kitchen helper: Smart speakers like the Amazon Echo can juggle multiple timers at once. If you give them a name, you’ll know what’s ready to come out of the oven. Say something like, “Alexa, set a 20-minute timer for the potatoes” or “Set a 45-minute timer for the chicken.”
Lock it up: Having people over? Lock your computer. You never know who will get curious. For Windows, hit the Windows key + L. On a Mac, use Ctrl + Cmd + Q.
Oh, crap, you have to run to the mall: There’s no time to wander around, looking for your car, when you’re done fighting the crowds. On Google Maps, tap the blue dot (your location), then choose Save your parking. Have an iPhone? Say, “Siri, remember where I parked my car,” and you’ll get a pin on the map.
✅ Unlock perfect hearing: If you’re tired of missing out on conversations, you need to check out the new, nearly invisible hearing aids everyone is raving about. With dual processors for crystal-clear sound, these are changing lives. See if you qualify for a risk-free trial and start hearing every word.* You deserve it.
