You may be thinking it's odd that we included a thermostat, but we see this as perhaps the first smart appliance in your home that you'll fall in love with. After just one week the Nest will learn how you like to keep your home, i.e., temperature down at night and up during the day. The display will also show a leaf when you're saving energy. The thermostat is connected so you can manage the temp and energy use online and even adjust the temperature on your way home from your smartphone.

AppMates let's you take Lightening McQueen and race him on top of the iPad as if the real Radiator Springs was zipping by under the tires. You get to race against virtual cars, solve missions and collect hubcaps. This set also includes Holley Shiftwell.
Dyson
Dyson has already changed the vacuum industry and had wowed consumers with their bladeless fan. Now, they've released their newest product their Hot fan heater. This heater oscillates and tilts, and will automatically shut off if knocked over. Like the fan, there is no visible blade or heating elements that users need to worry about. This heater is perfect for small or large rooms with precise heat controls.

Hot Wheel cars are too small to hop into the drivers seat, but that doesn't mean you can't get into the action. The new Hot Wheel Video Racer is a car with a video camera built in with the ability to record up to 12 minutes at 40 frames per second. You can upload and edit the video to your computer with free software or view it on the LCD screen on the bottom of the car. If that weren't enough, the kit comes with a clip that you can attach to your bike, skateboard or helmet.
