Smart Plugs
The easiest first step: make any lamp or tree smart.
An easy first step for anyone new to Apple Home. It turns a regular lamp, fan or Christmas tree into something you can schedule or switch with Siri. The listing says it works with Apple Home, Alexa and Google Home, and it needs 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
Tapo Smart Plug P125M, 15A/1800W Max
Good for Apple households that want plugs that stay reliable. Eve Energy runs on Thread and shows how much power whatever's plugged in is using, which helps spot energy hogs. Eve says it works locally, without an Eve cloud account.
Eve Energy (Matter) 2-Pack Smart Plug
A compact Wi-Fi plug for renters or anyone with crowded outlets. It's small enough to leave the second outlet free, and the listing says it supports Apple Home, Alexa and Google Home. A simple way to put one lamp on a schedule.
meross Matter Smart Plug Mini, Compact Wi-Fi
Four Apple HomeKit-supported plugs in one box, so one gift can cover a whole room. Each plug monitors energy use, and the listing says it works with Siri, Alexa and Google Home. Remote HomeKit control needs a home hub such as a HomePod or Apple TV.
Kasa Smart Plug Mini EP25 (4-Pack)
Smart Lighting
Color bulbs, strips and holiday projectors that work with Siri.
A quick upgrade for a teen's room, a gaming desk or behind the TV. The segmented LEDs can show several colors at once, controlled from the Govee app or a voice assistant. At 6.56 ft, it suits one desk or TV rather than a whole room.
Govee RGBWWIC LED Strip Light 2 Pro 6.56ft
For the person who wants holiday lights but hates the ladder. It projects snowflake and scene effects onto the house, it's rated IP67 for outdoors, and it's controlled from the app. Set it up once and it handles the decorating every December.
Govee Outdoor LED Snowflake Projector Light
A two-pack of color bulbs for a bedroom or living room lamp. They're Matter-enabled, rated at 1000 lumens, and can follow a circadian setting that warms the light at night. The listing notes they need 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
Nanoleaf Essentials Matter Smart Bulbs (2-Pack)
For someone who wants color mood lighting without a hub or bridge. It's a regular E26 bulb that connects over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and is listed for Apple HomeKit, Alexa and Google. It's dimmable, with tunable white from warm to cool.
LIFX Color, E26 Edison Screw
Locks, Cameras & Climate
Bigger gifts for security and comfort.
Great for kids or anyone who's always losing keys: the door opens with a fingerprint. It supports Matter and Apple Home, and runs on 8 AA batteries the listing rates for about 8 months. A newer listing with fewer reviews than the ULTRALOQ.
eufy Security Familock E32 Fingerprint Lock
For Apple users who want a camera that saves footage through HomeKit Secure Video. It's a 4MP camera with color night vision, and it doubles as a Thread border router for other Matter gadgets. Works best with an Apple home hub already set up.
Aqara 4MP Camera Hub G5 Pro WiFi Night Vision
For the Apple Home fan who already has a few gadgets and wants a hub to tie them together. It's a Matter controller and Thread border router, with Zigbee and an IR blaster that can control older remote-controlled devices. Best for the enthusiast, not...
Aqara Smart Home Hub M3
For families tired of hiding spare keys. This deadbolt has built-in Wi-Fi and Matter support, and the listing says it works with Apple Home, Alexa and Google, so you can lock up or let someone in from your phone. Measure your door before buying any s...
ULTRALOQ Bolt SE Wifi Smart Deadbolt Lock
Cuts the “who touched the thermostat” fights and can trim heating bills with schedules. It's Energy Star certified and works with Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant. Check that the HVAC system is compatible before gifting it.
ecobee Smart Thermostat Essential WiFi
Ends the “did I close the garage?” worry. It adds app, Siri and CarPlay control to many existing openers, plus alerts when the door's left open. Check meross's compatibility list for your opener, since the Security+ 3.0 protocol isn't supported.
meross Smart Garage Door Opener Remote
Everyday Apple Extras
Small add-ons any iPhone user will use.
Clears the cable mess off an Apple user's nightstand. It charges an iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods in one spot, and it's a 10K+ bought-last-month seller. Check that their iPhone is MagSafe-compatible (iPhone 12 or newer) before buying.
3-in-1 MagSafe Charging Stand for iPhone, Watch, AirPods
For the iPhone owner who's always at 10% by dinner. This slim 5,000mAh battery snaps on magnetically and charges at up to 15W over Qi2. Big enough for a top-up, not several full charges.
Anker Nano Magnetic Power Bank (5,000mAh, Qi2)
For the person who's always losing keys, wallets or luggage. Clip it on and find the item in Apple's Find My app, with a sound alert to help. Setup is one tap with an iPhone or iPad, which makes it an easy add-on gift.
