This year, instead of another gadget that ends up in a drawer, imagine gifting a home technology upgrade that your family and friends will actually use every day. From artful TVs and immersive audio to interactive golf simulators and smart home control, we can help you turn a wish list into a customized, turnkey experience.
Below are four of our favorite holiday gift ideas from the Innovative team that can be tailored to your space, style, and budget.
1. For the Design-Lover: Samsung Frame TV + Sonos Arc Home Theater
Know someone who is particular about how their home looks but also loves great entertainment? A Samsung Frame TV paired with a Sonos Arc soundbar is a seriously special gift.
Samsung’s Frame TV is designed to look like a piece of framed art on the wall when it is not in use. It mounts nearly flush, offers 4K QLED picture quality, and features an anti-reflective matte finish so on-screen art looks more like a canvas than a TV screen. You can display curated artwork or your own photos to create a personal gallery that blends into the room’s decor.
Add a Sonos Arc (or Arc Ultra) and you get cinematic audio without filling the room with bulky speakers. Arc is a premium smart soundbar with up-firing drivers and Dolby Atmos support, designed to project sound in multiple directions so movies, sports, and music feel immersive and full of depth. It can be controlled through the Sonos app, your TV remote, or voice, keeping day-to-day use simple.
What Our Team Handles:
- Professional mounting and wiring so The Frame truly looks like art, not a TV
- Audio tuning for the Sonos Arc to match your specific room
- Clean integration with streaming services, existing speakers, and smart home controls
The result is a living space that looks curated every day and instantly converts into a home theater when it is time for movie night.
2. For the Golfer: PuttView Putting + Golf Simulator Experience
If you have a golfer in your life, you already know that practice time is always needed. PuttView technology turns a putting green into an interactive training tool that is just as fun for guests as it is useful for serious practice. Using a projector and ball-tracking camera, PuttView can display ideal ball paths, break lines, speed targets, and training drills directly onto the green.
Depending on the home and available space, we can:
- Design a full golf simulator room that includes PuttView putting and full-swing capabilities
- Integrate PuttView into an existing simulator
- Create a multi-use media room where the simulator doubles as a big-screen theater
It’s the kind of gift that keeps family and friends together in one space for hours while also helping serious golfers improve between rounds. We handle design, equipment selection, installation, and calibration so the system feels polished, intuitive, and ready to enjoy from day one.
3. For the Music Lover: McIntosh Listening Room
Some people hear music differently. For them, playlists and portable speakers are not enough. A dedicated listening space anchored by McIntosh electronics is a gift that turns everyday listening into a real experience.
McIntosh amplifiers and components are known for their iconic blue meters, timeless design, and powerful, ultra-clean sound. We can tailor a system to the music lover in your life by:
- Designing a two-channel sweet-spot listening area with McIntosh electronics and high-performance speakers
- Integrating vinyl, streaming, and digital sources into one intuitive system
- Managing acoustic treatments, speaker placement, and cable management so the room looks as good as it sounds
Whether it’s late-night listening sessions, weekend album play-throughs, or background music that finally sounds the way it should, this is a gift that feels truly personal and enduring.
4. For the Smart Home Fan: Control4 Smart Home Starter System
If you want a gift that benefits the whole household, a Control4 smart home system is a fantastic way to bring everything together. Control4 acts like the operating system for the home, connecting lighting, audio, video, shades, climate, and security into one interface.
One of the biggest advantages is flexibility:
- Start with a single room of A/V control and smart lighting
- Add door locks, security, and climate control later
- Expand to whole-home automation as needs and budget grow
We design scenes and automations around how your household actually lives day-to-day. That might mean “Goodnight” shutting off lights and locking doors, “Movie Night” dimming lights and starting your system, or “Entertain” activating music across the main living areas.
Our team handles programming, interface setup, and training so everyone in the home feels confident using the system from day one.
Holiday Home Tech Gifts, Done Right
Choosing home technology as a gift can feel overwhelming, especially with so many brands, formats, and options to consider. Our team focuses on designing systems that blend seamlessly with architecture and interior design so the technology feels natural in your space, not distracting.
Every project we take on is tailored to the people who will use it most: the way they watch, listen, entertain, and unwind. Whether it is a single-room upgrade or a full-home plan, we think through the details so you do not have to.
These holiday gift ideas are just a starting point. If you share a little about who you are shopping for and the home they live in, we can help you shape a plan that feels thoughtful, practical, and exciting.
