13. A smart lamp that doubles as a speaker

GE Lighting C, available at Amazon, $149.99

I received this lamp as a gift, and it's easily been the best addition to my bedroom in 2019.

The Sol Smart Light lets you control the lamp using both an app on your phone and Amazon's voice assistant, Alexa. I'm admittedly lazy, so being able to turn a light on and off from my bed just by speaking out loud has been a huge gamechanger. Because of the Alexa capabilities, the Sol Smart Light can double as a speaker, which makes it all the more useful. —Emily Hein, content production fellow
