The best gifts do great things

These days, what’s trendy can change so quickly that it can be hard to decide what to give family and friends for the holidays. Luckily, savings are always in style. With our green holiday gift guide, you can give a gift that truly keeps on giving!

Tablets

Speaking of streaming smarter, a tablet is another great gift idea. An ENERGY STAR certified tablet uses 10 times less power to stream video than gaming consoles, making them a great way for your family to keep enjoying their favourite content online without having to worry about rising energy costs.

Smart thermostats

There’s nothing worse than being too cold and turning up the thermostat, and then being too hot and turning it down. Give the gift of comfort with an ENERGY STAR certified smart thermostat. Your friends and family can set it and forget it, then enjoy all the benefits.

Lightbulbs

Here’s one bright idea! You’ve probably never thought of giving someone a lightbulb, but an ENERGY STAR certified lightbulb is the perfect last minute gift or stocking stuffer. Everyone has lights in their home, and you can get creative and give coloured bulbs or even smart bulbs. ENERGY STAR certified LEDs use up to 90% less energy than incandescent bulbs, and last at least 15 times longer. So make the home of your loved ones merry and bright year round.

And so much more

Whether you’re buying a set of speakers, a laptop, a TV, or a new appliance - choose ENERGY STAR certified products for continued energy savings. Look for the little blue star when you’re out shopping, because the best (and most efficient) gifts do great things.
