Last Minute Holiday Gift Ideas from Best Buy | #HintingSeason
The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.
As several of my friends boast about being completely done with holiday shopping… I sit here still needing a small handful of items.
Shopping down to the deadline can be stressful, but then I remember the wide assortment of items found at Best Buy and I breath a sign of relief.
I did a little window shopping online and found a few items I’m headed there to look at today. Santa likes to leave a “family gift” and I found a few items that might foot the bill!
1) Xbox One … the place for games.
What is Xbox One?
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.
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.
Our family has an Xbox 360 and have been incredibly happy with it for a couple of years now. We like to purchase “family” games that several of us like to play together, so it has been fabulous for family time. My oldest son has hinted several times lately that he would love to have an Xbox One… it might be time to look into this!
JBL:
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.
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.
JBL offering a nice variety of speakers and headphones. My husband actually owns the Flip 2 and enjoys the sound quality while out and about… in the car, at the park with the kids or while working in the yard. Although this would necessarily be considered a “family gift”, everyone in the family would probably love one.
