Treemote |
Here is an early present idea for you to give yourself a - Treemote. It is a remote for turning on your Christmas
tree lights or any lamp for that matter.
Christmas shopping season is here. The kids are just beginning to be bombarded
with the must have toys this season but they haven’t yet gelled what exactly
will be on their list. Soon I will have
my own list of Toys Grandparents Will Love to Give – but I am not ready with
that post yet. Today I want to tell you
about something you should get for yourself.
If you are like me you have always had to sort of crawl
behind the tree to put the lights on and off.
We did that for years with our “real” tree that was beautiful but took
up a lot of space, needed to be continually watered and left us with pine
needles all year long. A few years ago,
at our son’s urging, we bought a small artificial tree with pre-lit lights that sits on an
end table in front of our living room window.
We love it! It gets brought to
the attic without taking it apart and it is no trouble at all – the perfect
grandparent tree. However, the outlet
for the lights is still low on the wall behind the tree. My son again had a great suggestion last
year. Even though with two small
children they are always crawling around on the floor, they had a remote switch and
turned their tree lights on with a flick of a switch kept on their mantle. Hmmm…sounds like a great idea…I think I’ll
look into that for next year.
Lo and behold, I had this opportunity to receive a Treemote
to review. Well my Christmas tree is
still in the attic so I tried it out on a floor lamp in the living room. The best news is you can use it for any lamp
all year long and it works up to 80 feet away.
This is helpful for me too as when I turn my living room light out for
the night I then walk in the darkened room to go upstairs to my bedroom. I intend to hook it up to this light and
leave the remote on my kitchen counter.
This is the Treemote out of the box. |
Whether you have the same issue I did of a hard to reach
Christmas tree lights outlet or a lamp that is inconvenient to turn on and off,
you should give yourself an early Christmas gift and get the treemote.
It is available here on Amazon.
