It's November, which means it's officially holiday shopping season.

Here at PCMag, we review thousands of products each year, which makes us uniquely qualified to recommend the gadgets you should purchase for friends and loved ones.

In today's Daily Gift video, PCMag's Dan Costa tells you why you should consider the Amazon Echo. More than just a speaker, the Amazon Echo is the first device we've tested that makes voice control fun. Use it to control music or smart lights, get the weather, or search the Web for random info—all with your voice.

Check out the video above, and keep your eye on PCMag's Holiday Gift Guide over the next few weeks for gift ideas for everyone on your list. And be sure to see Dan's take on Vizio's 65-inch 4K TV.
