The fledgling sub-brand's flagship product is the Shower Infusion Kit, which attaches to your existing shower head and infuses the water with Sprig's botanical infusion pods, which offer aromatherapy to help you sleep, recharge and more.

Why outfit your door with a smart camera and smart lock when you can just buy a new door with everything built in? That's the idea behind Masonite's new MPwr Smart Door, which incorporates built-in LED lighting, an integrated Ring Doorbell Cam, a Yale Smart Lock and other nifty tech that threatens to make all other front doors obsolete. The door even includes a backup battery for when the power goes out, and Masonite says it will arrive in Home Depot later this year.
