Holiday Gift Ideas from Best Buy

Personally, I tend to be what most would call a “last-minute shopper”.  I do 99% of my Christmas shopping about two weeks before Christmas and it really puts me in the spirit!  When the stores are full of exciting new things and sales galore, it’s a bit of a thrill.  The bonus is that I usually find the best gifts during this time.  Best Buy is one of our favorite places to shop and you can’t deny their expert service and unbeatable prices!  I’ve got a few ideas on gifts from Best Buy that I’d like to share.  Hopefully, my hubby will read this and take a hint :).

Xbox One is something I’ve been looking at this year.  My kids are 6 and 7 (plus my big kid is 42) and it would be great to have something new to do as a family during the winter months.  This system has the best exclusive titles like Halo and the hottest sports franchises like Madden 15.  I love that it has top family titles like Just Dance 15, Skylanders, and Fantasia: Music Evolved.  You can also access the latest movies and TV shows through your favorite apps on the Xbox One.  This mom would actually be VERY excited if the Xbox One were under our tree this year!

JBL Charge 2 is a portable bluetooth speaker that would be great for any music-loving household.  It’s compatible with most bluetooth devices and boasts a built-in bass port.  The best part is Bluetooth Social Mode allowing up to three different users to take their turns to play their own playlists on a single speaker.

JBL Flip 2 portable bluetooth speaker is another option with dual performance-tuned JBL drivers and a built-in bass port.  The SoundClear echo and noise cancellation features in this baby make it a real winner for holiday gifts.  The state-of the art microphone system makes it great for making and receiving hands-free phone calls.

JBL Reflect BT Earbud headphones are great for those on the go because you can go wireless! Sweat proof ergonomic design and a 5 hour rechargeable battery with a reach of about 40 feet, the JBL Reflect BT’s key benefit is the design of the ergonomic ear tips along with the built-in magnets which keep your buds on standby without loose cables.

One thing that needs to be on my list is a GPS.  It’s well-known that I cannot go anywhere without clear directions and these days I use my phone to navigate.  A quality GPS like Garmin or TomTom would be right up my alley.  Check out all the features in both so you can choose the best one for you or someone on your list:

Featuring bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling, traffic and weather updates.  Lane assist, lifetime traffic and map updates.  Voice Recognition Technology.
