Perks and Rec: This smart home display is just $60 today

So you’re looking for a techy assistant. You want a screen smaller than a laptop but bigger than your phone that comes on a stand so you can easily view your recipes, internet searches, reminders, favorite shows and more. Enter: the smart display. These little gadgets can live on your desk, your kitchen counter or your bedside table, and can help you keep track of everything in your life.   

This one from Google is one of the best we’ve tested, especially for smaller spaces. It’s on sale right now, down from $100 to $60 at Target. We think it's a great investment to make before the hustle and bustle of the holiday season when you’ll need a helping hand (err, screen). You can also wrap it up as a gift for the multitasker in your life. 

Some more smart home goodies on sale today: some smart light bulbs, our favorite smart thermostat and the best smart lock we’ve tested. 

Happy shopping,
