The gifting trifecta at Best Buy this Christmas #HintingSeason

We’ve been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.  Three seemingly unconnected things are at the T junction of parenting and/or holidays.  It’s also at the intersection of fun, regardless of if you have kids or not J. You drive, you listen to music and you play games.  XBOX One, the JBL Flip 2 and the Tom Tom Go 50s are all things that you need (or really want) and right now Best Buy is sleighing the season with deals.

Regardless of age, one of these three gifts, or even all three of them are front and center on your want list.  For us we have an XBOX 360 and are seriously lusting after the XBOX One.  XBOX One is the latest greatest and has unparalleled graphics, can connect with all your streaming apps and essentially becomes your TV’s new best friend.

It plays all the family friendly titles like Skylanders, Just Dance and the older video games like Assassin’s Creed.  We were hesitant to get into video games with our children.   However, once they turn 6 it becomes part of their culture.  Instead of putting our heads in the sand, we dove in and will let him experience it, while we watch over and mange things.

Bluetooth speakers are the rage aren’t they?  Regardless of where you are in the Bluetooth speaker evolution you will want to see the JBL Flip 2.  Bluetooth, so it’s wireless and the JBL Flip 2 comes in four colors and has dual drivers and a bass port.  The bass port is the kicker, literally.  We’ve reviewed a couple of them and the difference is all about the bass, specifically the bass port.  The Flip 2 also has a built in microphone for those times when you want to take a phone call. There are buckets of other JBL products that produce sound, some closer to the ear and other speakers.

Getting there is  half the battle isn’t it?  While the first two were either at the start or end of things, the getting there is sometimes the tussle. With the Tom Tom Go 50S you have 3D maps, 5” touch screen-with advanced lane guidance and lifetime maps for the US., Canada and Mexico.  Featuring spoken turn by turn directions, hands free calling, up to date weather and traffic the Tom Tom Go can eliminate that source of squabbles, whose fault is it that we’re lost?

What camp do you fall in? Do you need the Bluetooth tunes, help with directions (no shame in that…) or need to get your game on?  Wherever you are, Best Buy has discounts on all these products now.  Go forth and your excuse to be tuneless, lost or out of touch with video games is gone.
