Make your life easier at home with Amazon's newest edition of the Echo Dot. Set timers, ask questions, add items to lists, and create calendar events and reminders. Check the traffic and weather, or play the news. Access tens of thousands of Alexa skills, like Headspace or Sleep Sounds. And do it all with just your voice.

Use your voice to play a song, artist, or genre through Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, and others. And with multi-room music, you can fill your whole home with music, radio stations, podcasts, and Audible using compatible Echo devices in different rooms.

Plus, Amazon's all-new Echo Dot is kid-friendly. Turn on parental controls with Amazon Kids (FreeTime), right in the Alexa app. Alexa will automatically give kid-friendly responses, filter explicit songs, block shopping, and let kids call approved contacts. Parents can also set time limits and review activity.

Why We Love This Gift: Older adults or loved ones with physical impairments due to surgery or illness can greatly benefit from the hands-free management offered by Echo Dot. We love this gift because Alexa can be a huge help for anyone with visual impairments, trouble making lists, and performing basic hands-on tasks.

What To Express In Your Card: I want to provide you with some additional help around the house. I hope this helps!
