Amazon’s Echo Plus is $50 off and comes with a free Philips smart bulb
TL;DR: The impressive Echo Plus is $50 off and comes with a free Philips Hue smart light bulb — that’s a $179.98 value on sale for $99.99.
It’s getting down to crunch time to order holiday presents. We’re only about a week out from Christmas and a few days away from Hanukkah, and it’s not guaranteed that what you order online will arrive to your home in time to gift it.
Of course Amazon is an exception because those employees have to work their asses off during the holiday season. For you that means you can order something from the site today and feel confident it will get to you in time to wrap it and everything if you have Prime shipping.
If you’re in a panic and don’t know what to get for the people on your list, take a moment to breathe and chill out. You can’t really go wrong with smart home devices and Amazon has a bunch of its smart devices on sale right now. One we’re excited about is the Echo Plus because right now it’s $50 off and comes with a free Philips Hue smart light bulb — that’s like two gifts in one.
The Echo Plus is actually a great speaker and it comes loaded with Alexa skills, allowing you to check the weather, ask questions, control smart home devices like lights and thermostats, and a lot more.
Whoever you get this bundle for (we fully support gifting yourself during the holidays) will be able to turn the light off without having to move any muscles except their mouth. The included smart bulb is easy to set up and once it is you can tell Alexa to turn it off and on.
Order an Echo Plus and Philips Hue bulb for $99.99 (a value of $179.98) and get it in time for Christmas.
