Even in 2021 Google Assistant continues to be one of strongest voice assistants, able to serve up the weather — but also the link to controlling tons of smart products from speakers to your kitchen over. These gift ideas integrate Google's smart assistant, either because it's actually baked into the device ("Hey Google…) or because Google Assistant can link up and control these products in your smart home or office.

For anyone on your list who is a Google Assistant fan, or someone who may be intrigued about how voice assistants can make a difference in their life, these 12 (plus 1 extra!) suggestions are a great place to start this holiday season, with someone that will work with anyone's budget.
