Wired smoke detectors (required by code for new US construction) can use between 0.5W and 12.3W, you can easily have 6 of these in an average house. 12.3W x 6 x 24 x 365 = 646KWh per year. My large 25 cubic foot fridge freezer only uses about 500KWh per year. The problem is the 24x365 always connected devices, and the number of device, and the cheapo manufacturing.

You could spend time looking for a perfect gift in the mall. Malls have many different boutiques and stalls you could visit to. They got so many varieties of their items to choose from. Also, don’t forget to watch out for those boutiques or stalls who are on sale of their items. You could save up to 75% off, a lot of saving though!
