With just about two weeks to Christmas, you could say that I am in a bit of a panic mode. I got a great head start on decorating our home and purchasing gifts, however somehow I’ve been so busy that I lost that momentum. I am thankful for stores like Best Buy that have such a great variety of gifts in several categories. One stop shopping, as they say.
With expert service and unbeatable prices these top holiday gifts should be considered when checking off your “nice people” list.
A gaming system built by gamers, for gamers, Xbox One is a hot holiday gift this year. There are games exclusive to the system like Halo, Sunset Overdrive, biggest blockbusters like Assassin’s Creed and Call of Duty and sports games from Madden 15, FIFA 15, NBA 2K15, and games you can play as a family like Fantasia: Music Evolved, Just Dance 15 and Skylanders. In addition to the fun games, Xbox One enables access to the latest TV shows and movies through your favorite apps since it’s a smart device too!
If someone would like to buy me the Xbox One, I might be slightly overjoyed.
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.
All three of these gifts sound fantastic, but I really want the earbuds. How better to listen to jams while trying to achieve that New Year’s resolution?

I think this one would be perfect for those who do not own smartphones. How else are you going to find out how to get parties and events?
I really want a bluetooth speaker for my office. I listen to Pandora and Spotify but after a while they bog down my laptop, which isn’t very old so that drives me insane. But Photoshop and Lightroom are resource hogs so I guess its to be expected. I could use my iPhone for my music.
My oldest wants a xbox one. We’ve thought about it and are going to grab it for him! Best buy will be where we get it!
I think the TOM TOM Would be perfect for my Grandma!
I know my husband would love to have that TomTom! (His is a little bit old and doesn’t work as well as it used to!)
I would love to get my hubby a new TomTom! He is constantly getting lost and ours is very, very old! It’s definitely time to get a new one for him. Now the speakers I would love to get for myself!
Awesome gift suggestions. I have heard fantastic things about Garmin GPS systems.
I could use the GPS system. I try to use my phone sometimes, but the volume isn’t loud enough and it drains my battery.
I love all of these. Thankfully, we are done with our Christmas shopping, but I do love the Tom Tom.
Those JBL speakers are awesome. I bought one for my son and he is always playing music on it in his room.
My Garmin is so old & he’s always giving me the wrong directions. I need a new one!
