We’re quickly approaching the holidays. It’s time to switch gears and start thinking about what gifts we need to purchase that say “I love you” for us. It’s always smart to shop when there’s a big sale going on to save yourself some cash, but even though we’re still a few weeks out from Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you can still find a good deal on home goods and electronics if you’re looking in the right places. Right now, Amazon has its Alexa smart home hub, the Echo Show, going for 44% off. That amounts to a $40 discount, bringing the price down to just $50.

The Echo Show on sale is specifically the Echo Show 5, Amazon’s third generation model which released in 2023, in which improvements were made to both the bass and sound clarity in general.
A Gift the Family Will Love
This is the type of gift grandparents will love. The main benefit over the other Echos Amazon offers is right in the name. This one has a display screen. The display can be used to follow along with recipes, pull up video tutorials on YouTube, or simply display a rotating gallery of photos for your and guests to see — perhaps of the grandchildren. Family and friends can be invited to share photos and Prime members get unlimited cloud photo storage.
This Alexa smart home hub comes in a small size, but produces big sound. The 5.5 inch display is handy when listening to music and podcasts, as it can show album art, song titles, artist names and more from providers like Amazon Music and Spotify.
The Echo Show is also capable of video calling. It has a 2MP front-facing camera so you can call friends and family via the Alexa app or with another Echo device. You can even communicate between compatible devices within the same home. It even works with smart doorbells or security cameras to communicate with someone at your front door.
You have your choice of charcoal, cloud blue, or glacier white so you can pick whatever goes with your loved one’s or your own aesthetic. The fabric is made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester yarn while the aluminum is made from 100% recycled aluminum, so you can rest easy that sustainability is front of mind.
Typically, the Amazon Echo Show 5 is priced at $90. However, right now you can get it for 44% off. That chops $40 off allowing you to grab it for just $50 — the lowest price its been all year so far.
