Wait, it’s November already? At this time of year, we all lift our heads to realize that it’s Thanksgiving week, and the holiday shopping season is about to hit in full force. That mix of thrill and panic starts to set in. How will you figure out what to get everyone on your list? How will you top last year’s gifts? Sit back and have another slice of pumpkin pie – my holiday gift guides will have you covered. From the hottest tech to wellness products, try out these picks for the perfect gifts. Here’s part one of my gift guide – all about high tech and wellness.
Sony Xperia Phones
The XZ Premium is the world’s first smartphone with a 5.5-inch 4K HDR display. The phone also features the latest camera technology with its Motion Eye system for capturing the absolute best photos even when your subject is moving. I’m switching from my Note 5 to this awesome phone!
Want a smaller phone that still packs the Motion Eye and water-resistant display? Get the XZ1 Compact with a 4.6-inch display. These smartphones come in four beautiful colors – snatch one up this holiday season.
EcoReco Scooter
I love this scooter so much that I traded in my bicycle. Goodbye, peddling and hello, eco-friendly transportation. This motorized scooter has a rechargeable battery that will power travel of 10-20 miles per charge. The scooter reaches speeds of up to 20MPH. It’s compact for storage and weighs only 34 lbs. Give the gift of an easier (and eco-friendlier) commute!
DJI Drones
We all know an adult who is a kid at heart, don’t we? Here’s a great gift for the guy who likes his gadgets. DJI produces professional level drones. Shop around to find the right fit – like the Mavic Pro Platinum that features a 30-minute flight time.
Start Wars Drones by Propel
If Dad gets a drone, why not the kids? Propel has Star Wars themed fighter drones that sync with fighter jet, multiplayer games via Bluetooth and app-based games. The drones also come with training apps so your little pilot can practice before taking on other players.
Lenovo Legion Y720 Laptop
Do you have a gamer on your list? Here’s the hottest “must have” for gaming this season. Now you can take your gaming anywhere with a laptop specifically designed for it. The stunning resolution, speed and virtual reality support will let you play any game anywhere. Plus, this is the world’s first Dolby Atmos laptop so plug in your headphones and get ready to be completely immersed in breathtaking audio that puts you into the center of the action.
Altec Lansing VersA
If you’re like me, you love Amazon and I’m sure plenty of people on your holiday shopping list do, too. Get them this VersA speaker integration for Amazon Alexa. This hands-free, voice activated speaker allows you to amplify Alexa and give commands at a wider range. If you remember you need to order more supplies from Amazon, just talk to VersA from across a room and it will activate and complete your task. Finally, someone who is always listening.
Black+Blum Box Appetit Eau Good Glass
I love these water bottles and you will, too. Your reusable water bottle may be helping the environment, but is it also making the quality of your water better for your body? That’s exactly what the Eau Good Glasses do. The bottles have Binchotan active charcoal which has been used by the Japanese since the 17th century. It reduces chlorine, chemicals, balances the PH, mineralizes the water and creates a purer taste. You can get a different color for each of your friends.
Another amazing product that Black+Blum is coming out with is the Eau Good Duo, a bottle with the same charcoal filtration but with a built-in fruit infuser cap. A Kickstarter campaign for the Eau Good Duo just launched on November 1st and will close on November 30th.
I don’t think I need to tell you again how awesome these picks are – see for yourself by getting these for someone on your holiday shopping list. One thing is certain: this year’s hottest holiday gifts are all about innovative technology and helping reduce waste, so feel good about getting these quality items. Let the holiday shopping begin, and check back in one week for part two of this gift guide!
