Holiday Gift Guide from Connecticut Lighting

The holiday season is here! As we enter the most wonderful time of the year, it’s time to start thinking about your shopping list. Every year, it seems to get harder and harder to find the perfect presents – not at Connecticut Lighting Centers! There is something for everyone at New England’s largest family of lighting showrooms. Better Connecticut co-host Scot Haney recently stopped by to explore holiday gift ideas with Vice President, Todd Director.

Making Spirits Bright

When customers visit our showrooms, they are often surprised to find that we sell much more than lighting. For instance, there is a unique gift item for mom, dad, sibling and everyone in between in our home decor section. If someone on your list loves spirits, how about a wine caddy? Simply place the bottle upside down and dispense from real stone! We also sell decorative wine candles, which look like a traditional bottle but have a wick inside.

For the frequent host or hostess, we have proudly partnered with a company called Built by Heroes. For every veteran-made cutting board sold at Connecticut Lighting Centers, part of the proceeds goes back to our military members. We also have plenty of serving bowls, utensils and platters from Michael Healy Designs and Michael Aram.

Celebrate Home Security

Keep your holiday purchases safe with home automation products from Skybell and Nest! Skybell HD is a push button for your doorbell that senses motion and rings itself. If there is a guest on your doorstep – expected or unfamiliar – you can speak to them, even when away from home. This is a great product to help prevent package theft and home break-ins.

We also carry products from Nest, a leader in programmable home automation. The Nest indoor and outdoor cameras are another great tool to keep unknown people off your property, with a downloadable app to monitor the landscape from your smartphone.

Lastly, our customers can get the Nest Pro thermostat, which learns how warm or cold you like the house to be and adjusts accordingly. We offer Nest Pro with a five-year warranty, as opposed to the standard two-year warranty offered by other retailers. We’re less for Nest!

You can also purchase our gift certificates, valid on purchases at Connecticut Lighting Centers and our sister store, Restoration Lighting Gallery. To learn more, call or visit our Hartford or Southington showroom today!
