Techies are always the hardest to shop for this time of year. They either have the latest and greatest toys already, or are heading out the door to get it. But this year you can find the gifts they’ll want at Best Buy – they have a lot of different great tech gift ideas and asked me to share them with you.
If you are a traveler or have one who is always on the road it might be time for you to get them a GPS! While our phones have them built in, running the GPS and map feature not only eats your battery, but runs your screen constantly. Having an external GPS device can be handy and this year Best Buy has a few different options. The newer GPS devices have Bluetooth already included so you wont have to worry about running it on your phone, real time traffic and weather updates as well as voice recognition.
Check out these GPS devices online or in store!

Now how about that gamer in your life? We all have one or two of those in our families. We haven’t upgraded to the Xbox One yet, because when it came out originally there were a few too many proprietary issues with the games. With those issues in the past, it’s breaking records in sale as not just a gaming system but a media player as well. You can get all of your streaming channels right on it and watch with your friends. The
Xbox One is connecting gamers in more social aspects than any other system as before. Play the hottest games, stay connected and more – and this year it’s not as hard on your budget as it was when it first came out as well!
And lastly, great gift options for the music lover in your family – JBL has three different gift options perfect this holiday season. Small on size, but large on sound you’re bound to find the
JBL system perfect for the holidays.
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 BTâs key benefit is the design of the ergonomic eartips along with the built-in magnets which keep your buds on standby without loose cables
So what does the techie on your list want? It might just be all of it! Find these great gift ideas and more at your local Best Buy or online!
