The first Prime Day items of the season were some of the best smart home devices available for less than $10 a unit Amazon's $20 Christmas Tree Bundle consists of a smart speaker, a smart plug, and a miniature pre-lit Christmas tree to control it It's a great introduction to the smart home and a great gift idea

Right now, you can get an Echo Pop, Amazon Smart Plug, and National Tree Company pre-lit Christmas tree for just $20 on Amazon Just click the link, add the 2-foot tree to your cart, and enter the code ALEXATREE24 at checkout to add the free Echo Pop and Amazon Smart Plug to your order The smart speaker and plug bundle is $65 on its own, so you simply pay for the Christmas tree

The Echo Pop may be the most affordable Echo smart speaker, but its audio performance packs a punch It lacks the smart temperature and motion-sensing features of the more expensive Echo, but it is still one of the best Alexa speakers you can buyIn our review of the Echo Pop, we loved the great sound for the price On the other hand, its more compact shape makes it ideal for smaller spaces like bathrooms and offices

Amazon's Smart Plug adds smart home controls to existing outlet-style devices For example, a stick lamp or attached Christmas tree can be connected to the plug and attached to the outlet; when Alexa recognizes the plug, it can remotely turn connected gadgets on and off, schedule them to operate at specific times, or use motion sensors to link them to routine to link it to the device It can then be set to turn on when you enter a room and turn off if no motion is detected after a certain period of time

The National Tree Company's mini Christmas tree is the only one of these products we have not tried, but reviews praise its realistic fir tree and bright lighting Of course, at 2 feet, it's small, but this would be a nice addition to any office desk
