You want your gift to be the best one, your recipient’s favorite. The one they’ll talk about for weeks on end. Let us spark some gift ideas with Best Buy’s just released 2017 Top Tech Gifts List, a collection of 30 must-have gadgets that our tech experts are excited about this holiday season.
But we didn’t stop there. We dug deeper, surveying people to determine what they think about tech this season. They told us the following:
The next chapter in the Call of Duty series launches this week, and you can pick it up at Best Buy as soon as it’s released at midnight ET.

From the cordless V8 vacuum to the Supersonic hair dryer, Dyson’s ahead-of-the-curve products get consumers excited about in-home technology.

At Best Buy, we are committed to helping our customers live more sustainably. We do this in a few ways, including offering a wide assortment of energy-efficient products. But we don’t just sell energy-efficient products, we make them too. And we’re excited to announce that one of our own brands, Insignia, has been awarded ENERGY STAR Most Efficient for seven refrigerator models.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, ENERGY STAR Most Efficient is a distinction that recognizes products that deliver best-in-class energy efficiency along with the latest in technological innovation.
Virtual reality was all the buzz last year. And there’s even more to be excited about lately with new products, lower prices and more games and entertainment than ever before.
Still, you might have questions. Do I need a computer or a phone? And if so, what kind? What do the games, movies, and experiences allow me to do?
Well, Best Buy has answers. Better yet, a visit to your local store lets you experience it all through hands-on demos. (We’ve held more than 500,000 VR demos in our stores, so we know a thing or two.)
Feel free to sing along with our ENERGY STAR video — you won’t be able to get this catchy tune out of your head…
You’re saving energy / You’re saving your money / Oh yes, you’re a star / When you buy ENERGY STAR!
But seriously, though. When you buy a new ENERGY STAR certified washer or dryer, you can feel good about your purchase. These products are certified to save energy compared with standard models. That means you save on your utility bill while helping to protect the planet.
Google has been busy coming up with new products to make our lives easier, and now you can get them at Best Buy.
Just announced today, these new gadgets span from voice assistants to smartphones to virtual reality headsets.
Let’s start with the Google Home Mini. It’s little, yes, but it can do big things. Powered by Google Assistant, it’s designed to fit in anywhere, so you can scatter Minis throughout multiple rooms in your house. It has far-field microphones that can hear you even if there’s music playing or loud background noise.
You’re ready for some football, but what about your TV?
With the kickoff of the college and pro seasons, millions of Americans will be spending hours at home watching games. With today’s televisions, there’s no better place to root for the home team.
