Christmas is officially less than a week away folks! It’s crunch time, and if you’re like me you’re still looking to snag a few gifts. Normally I would be in a panic, but this year? Nope. No panicking – and you know why? Because I know I can find everything I need at Best Buy!
Shopping at Best Buy is great, especially this time of year, because I know they’ve got a great assortment of gift ideas and they all come with excellent customer service and unbeatable pricing. Here’s what’s on my list this year:
#1. Top of the list this year? The *HOT* Xbox One console. The Xbox One was built by gamers, for gamers. With the best exclusive titles (Halo, Sunset Overdrive), the biggest blockbusters (Assassin’s Creed and Call of Duty) the hottest sports franchises (Madden 15, FIFA 15, NBA 2K15) and top family titles (Fantasia: Music Evolved, Just Dance 15, Skylanders) Xbox One takes gaming to a whole new level. And in addition to being a great gaming console, Xbox one connects consumers unlike any other device. Xbox One enables access to the latest TV shows and movies through your favorite apps. With Xbox One all of your media is at your fingertips when you want it.
#2. The JBL Charge 2. I visited my local Best Buy just last week to inquire about a portable speaker that Coach D has wanted – and I had no clue about which speaker I was looking for. But not to worry, the lovely customer service expert lead me in the right direction and made sure I was fully educated before I left the store about what I was buying. The speaker he directed me to was the JBL Charge 2. Between the twin passive radiators for deep bass, the massive 6000mAh battery and the hands-free conference speakerphone the key benefit is the Bluetooth Social Mode which allows up to three different users to take their turns to play their own playlists on a single speaker. I think he’s going to love it!
JBL has a few other products I liked too – so much that I just might have to go back and snag these too:
- JBL Flip 2– Aside from the dual performance-tuned JBL drivers and a built-in bass port, the key benefit of the JBL Flip 2 is the SoundClear echo and noise cancellation combined with the state-of the art microphone system to pick up calls on the speaker.
- JBL Reflect Earbud headphones– Sweat proof ergonomic design. With a 5 hour rechargeable battery and a reach of about 40 feet, the JBL Reflect BT’s key benefit is the design of the ergonomic eartips along with the built-in magnets which keep your buds on standby without loose cables.
#3. Garmin and TomTom GPS systems. My brother in law’s job requires him to travel quite a bit to different locations, so a GPS system is the perfect gift idea for him. These GPS systems now feature bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling, traffic and weather updates, lane assist, and lifetime traffic and map updates. That’s a lot of cool features! And they’re on sale for as much as $80 off right now, which makes for some amazing deals 🙂
These are the three I’ve narrowed it down to:
