Holiday Gift Guide
Despite the pandemic, the holiday spirit has never been stronger. With the holidays right around the corner, everyone is wondering what to get their friends and family. These unique gifts are a must-add to your internet shopping cart.
Let’s face it: 2020 has been a rough year. Everyone could use a little relaxation and there is no better way to relax than with a face mask advent calendar or a 12-days-of-facemasks package. This gift is a new trend popping up everywhere from online sellers like Amazon, to in-person stores like Target. One thing’s for sure, whether it’s for him or for her, this gift is a sure success.
Apple released both the iPhone 12 and the new MacBook Pro just in time for the shopping season. While both of these gifts are perfect for the tech-savvy individuals in your life, they tend to range on the pricier side. Rather than breaking the bank, try the Nintendo Switch Lite. It is a handheld gaming device, complete with removable controllers so you can play with your friends. It’s the perfect budget technology gift.
Drink snuggies are a generic item sold by many companies as a promotional product. Say goodbye to lame, non-specific drink snuggies with the Puffer Jacket Beer Can Koozies. This is the ideal gift for dads and uncles you feel obliged to shop for. The snuggies are shaped like winter coats, complete with sleeve-handles and a zipper. They’re both cute and budget-friendly.
Everyone knows someone, whether it’s themselves or a friend, who loses everything. The Tile Tracker is the perfect gift for that person. All you need to do is hook up the Bluetooth disk to an app on your phone and attach the tracker to whatever it is you don’t want to lose. When you inevitably lose the item, open the app, and activate the “find” setting. The tile will ring and vibrate until you find what you are missing.
Shopping for people can be tough, but in the end, it’s the thought that counts. 2020 has been a long year, and it seems that everyone could use a nice and thoughtful gift. Happy holidays everyone.
