DIGITAL GIFTS

 

LottoLove Digital Scratch-off Tickets ($10-$100)

Need a gift for the altruistic sort? Give the gift of a donation to those in need with these digital “scratch-off” tickets! Your recipient receives their gift by email or text and they digitally “scratch” to reveal the charity and what has been donated on their behalf, including basic necessities, water, etc.  Paper scratch-off tickets are available as well, but the digital ones are great for last-minute shopping.

If you’re giving a gift IRL, make it that much more special with these printable color gift tags from HP, which were designed in collaboration with DIY influencer Brittany Jepsen of The House That Lars Built. The 2-sided color tags can be printed at home  – I use my fab HP Envy Inspire printer – and glued together, then you just add your “to” and “from”!  There are also gorgeous paper ornaments available in the collection, great for DIY projects with the kids.

Clorox Smart Air Purifier ($119)

We live in the suburbs, and I admit that an air purifier was a bit of an afterthought until the smoke from the Canadian wildfires seeped into our home last summer. This air purifier, which has Alexa voice integration, is good for rooms up to 1000 square feet and removes 99.7% of allergens and particulates (like smoke), 99.9% of viruses and bacteria, and keeps the air smelling fresh. And using it is a no-brainer – “Auto mode” adjusts in real time to information provided by the air quality sensor.  The Clorox filters last 6-12 months and are easily replaced.
