Technology

On the hunt for stocking stuffers or last-minute gift exchange goodies that recipients will really want?

Tech often impresses, and we have a lot of options at Best Buy.

Jake Bonura, a Blue Shirt at our store in Rochester, Minnesota, recommends going with tech gifts that are one-of-a-kind, useful and not too big. Something that will get a “Wow!” when it’s pulled out of a stocking or raise eyebrows at an exchange.

“Go for something that’s in that super popular category of things that are trendy right now, like PopSockets,” said Jake, who hosts a gift swap with friends every year.

We all do it. When we’re buying last-minute gifts for friends and family, we find ourselves wishing we could keep the items in the cart.

Don’t worry. When it comes to wishful thinking, we wanted to flag some good finds that are true “treat yourself” products worth wrapping with your name on the tag. Go ahead and say they’re from your pet, Fluffy if that makes you feel better.

Personal care

Taking care of yourself is important, especially when it comes to handling stressful relatives and busy plans.

The holidays are upon us, and with that comes the fun — but sometimes stressful — task of getting your home ready for celebrations.

And the right tech can add a little pep to your holiday prep.

Josiah Barker, an expert Blue Shirt at our Best Buy store in Castleton, Indiana, loves listening to music while enjoying a cup of eggnog and spending time with friends and family during the holidays. He has several recommendations for getting the most out of being the host.
