My neighbor's doorbell looked like it survived a war after one winter. These covers keep them looking new and actually blend into the house better than the default plastic look.
Grab this if their Ring doorbell sits in direct sun all day. My brother's faceplate was fading badly, and this stopped it cold. Comes in colors that match most front doors too.
Silicone Skin Case for Ring Video Doorbell 2nd Gen
Toss this in a stocking for anyone whose Blink doorbell clashes with their house color. Took me ten seconds to snap on and suddenly the doorbell didn't look like an afterthought anymore.
Silicone Protective Cover for Blink Video Doorbell
Perfect for the friend who just moved to Arizona or Florida. UV rays destroy these things faster than you'd think. I wish someone had gifted me this before my first one yellowed.
FINTIE Cover for Google Nest Doorbell Wired 2nd/3rd Gen
Swap this onto any Ring doorbell in about thirty seconds. My sister-in-law got one in blue and it matched her shutters perfectly. Tiny gift, big impact on curb appeal.
Ring Wired Doorbell Plus Video Doorbell Pro Faceplate
Use this if rain is constantly hitting the doorbell head-on. A coworker's Ring kept glitching in storms until she slapped one of these on. Hasn't had an issue since October.
Silicone Skin Case for Ring Battery Doorbell Plus
Angle Mounts and Wedges for Better Camera Views
Spent a full week staring at my own driveway on a weird diagonal before I realized a simple wedge mount fixes the whole problem. These tiny things make a huge difference in what the camera actually catches.
Get this for anyone whose doorbell faces a corner and only captures half the porch. My dad installed his Ring on a weird wall angle and this fixed the blind spot completely.
Ring Corner Kit for Video Doorbell 2nd Gen
Try this if the camera is angled slightly up or down and misses packages on the ground. Took me five minutes to install and suddenly I could see the full walkway. Should've done it day one.
Wedge Kit for Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2
Perfect for renters who mounted their Blink in a non-ideal spot and can't drill new holes. My roommate tilted hers 15 degrees and finally caught the delivery driver's face instead of their forehead.
Wasserstein Horizontal Adjustable Angle Mount
Snag this for the person who complains their Nest only shows the sidewalk and not the front step. Simple wedge, no rewiring, and suddenly the whole porch is in frame.
HOLACA Adjustable 0-45° Mount for Google Nest
Use this if the doorbell is on a textured or uneven surface. My uncle's brick front made his Ring sit crooked for months. This bracket leveled it out and he stopped missing half his alerts.
Universal Video Doorbell Stand Bracket
Solar Chargers So They Never Deal with Dead Batteries
Nothing kills the point of a video doorbell like it dying at 2 AM when you actually need it. I got tired of pulling mine off the wall every few weeks to charge, and these solar panels solved that permanently.
Grab this for anyone who forgets to charge their Ring and then panics when it dies. My doorbell hasn't needed a manual charge in seven months. Pays for itself in sanity alone.
Wasserstein Solar Charger for Blink Video
Keep this in mind for the family member who lives somewhere sunny. Plugs right in, sticks to the wall nearby, and just quietly keeps the battery topped off. I literally forget it's there.
Solar Charger for Ring Video Doorbell
Perfect for the person running Blink cameras who hates buying lithium batteries every few months. My neighbor switched to this and said she's saving about forty bucks a year. Stocking stuffer that keeps giving.
Mounting your Blink Outdoor and Indoor (3rd Gen) Camera
Try this if they've got a Ring Spotlight in a spot that's annoying to reach for charging. A friend mounted hers under the eave and the cable runs down neatly. No more ladder trips in January.
OLAIKE Solar Panel for Ring Stick Up Cam
Pair this with any outdoor Nest setup. My coworker's Nest died during a vacation and missed three days of footage. This would've prevented that whole mess. Great peace-of-mind gift.
Wasserstein 3.5W Solar Panel for Google Nest Cam
Anti-Theft Mounts for Apartment Dwellers and Renters
A friend had her Ring doorbell stolen right off the wall in a shared hallway. Twice. These mounts lock the doorbell down so sticky fingers can't just pop it off and walk away.
Get this for anyone living in an apartment building. My friend's Ring got swiped from her hallway and this security screw kit would have stopped that. Takes five minutes and a screwdriver.
Anti Theft Metal Ring Doorbell Mount
Snag this for the renter who's nervous about leaving expensive tech in a shared space. Locks the doorbell to the mount plate so someone can't just yank it. Cheap insurance.
Anti Theft Metal Ring Doorbell Mount
Perfect for renters who can't drill into walls but still want their Blink secured. Uses adhesive that holds strong but peels clean when you move out. Wish I had this at my last apartment.
Wasserstein No-Drill Mount for Blink Video
Toss this in a stocking for the person who just moved and doesn't want to put holes in their new doorframe yet. Sticks firmly, comes off clean, and the doorbell stays put through wind and rain.
Anti-Theft No-Drill Mount for Ring Doorbell 4/3 Plus
Use this if they live somewhere with high foot traffic. It wraps around the doorbell and locks it to the mounting plate. Saw a review from a guy in Brooklyn who said it saved his Ring twice already.

Wired Doorbell Chime Add-Ons for Inside the House
My Ring doorbell rang outside and sent phone notifications, but nobody inside the house could hear a thing. These plug-in chimes fixed that problem the same day I got one.
Grab this for anyone who misses doorbell alerts because their phone is on silent. Plug it into any outlet and it dings through the whole house. My parents didn't realize they needed this until I gifted it.
Ring Chime - Enhanced audio alerts
Try this if their Ring doorbell keeps dropping Wi-Fi connection. It doubles as a chime AND a signal booster. Solved my cousin's buffering problem and she lives in a 2,000 sq ft house.
Ring Chime Pro
Keep this option for anyone on a budget. Works with most smart doorbells, plugs right in, and you can adjust the volume. My neighbor got one for her upstairs hallway so she stops missing deliveries.
WiFi Wireless Doorbell, Smart Door bell
Pair this with any video doorbell if the built-in speaker is too quiet. Has like 50 ringtone options and the range covers a big house. My aunt put one in her basement craft room and finally hears the door.
SadoTech Waterproof Doorbell & Chimes Wireless Kit
Switch to this if their current chime cuts out randomly. Solid range, loud enough for a two-story home, and the LED flash is great for anyone hard of hearing. Thoughtful stocking stuffer that people overlook.
AVANTEK Wireless Doorbell, 1300ft Range
Weatherproofing and Power Accessories for Year-Round Use
Last February my doorbell froze, the charging cable cracked, and I lost a week of footage. These small accessories keep everything running through snow, rain, and heat waves without drama.
Get this before winter hits. My Blink Mini was never meant for outdoor use, but this case made it survive an entire Michigan winter. Tiny investment that saved me from buying a whole new camera.
Wasserstein Bird Feeder Camera Case Compatible
Grab this for anyone tired of charging their Ring every three weeks. Hardwires it to existing doorbell wiring so the battery stays full forever. Took my dad twenty minutes to install and he's not handy at all.
Ring Plug-In Adapter 2nd Gen for Doorbells
Toss this in a stocking for the person whose stock cable is too short to reach an outlet. The braided cord handles rain and cold way better than the flimsy one Ring includes. Mine lasted two winters and counting.
Fast Charging Cable for Ring Video Doorbell (3.3ft Orange)
Use this if their doorbell sits under zero overhang and takes rain directly to the face. A buddy in Seattle swears by his. Keeps water out of the speaker grill so audio doesn't get muffled.
PC Transparent Plastic Protector Cover for Camera Doorbell
Pair this with any Ring model if condensation keeps fogging up the lens. Happened to mine every humid morning until I added this cover. Now the camera stays clear and I actually see who's at the door.
