It's #HintingSeason and @BestBuy is a Super Savvy Shopping Destination!

Best Buy is a super savvy, one-stop shopping destination for everyone in the family!

It's definitely #HintingSeason, and everyone in the family has something to add to Mama's shopping list.  In looking around Best Buy (in person and online), I've quickly discovered a place where the majority of their wished-for items can be purchased and checked off of the list.


For my husband, the Best Buy gift selection is going to be easy. We recently took a trip to Ann Arbor, and on the way, discovered our GPS is no longer working. Our first thought was maybe it got too cold, because we left it in the car. That may well be the case, but even after being in the house to warm up (for a week), it's not working.


There will be no squinting while driving with the Tom Tom Go 50 S's big 5" screen!

My husband is definitely going to have a GPS from Best Buy wrapped up and placed under the tree. I'm not too sure how surprised he will be about it...I'm just hoping he doesn't have the same idea and duplicate the gift. Although, if he does, I certainly won't complain. We don't use the one in my car as often, but an upgrade would definitely be nice.

Best Buy has our GPS Holiday Shopping List Covered!

With GPS selections featuring bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling, traffic and weather updates, lane assist, lifetime traffic and map updates, and voice recognition technology, the GPS systems sold at Best Buy definitely measure up, and then some, for quality gift giving ideas.

The Tom Tom Go 50 S, with the following features, is an excellent selection:
  • Lifetime Tom Tom Traffic-Drive with TomTom Traffic for the lifetime of your device.
  • Lifetime Maps (US, Canada, Mexico). Always drive with the latest map.
  • 3D Maps. See buildings and landmarks in stunning 3D
  • 5" touchscreen with advanced lane guidance!

The Garmin 52LM would also be a great choice!
  • 5" display
  • Maps of 49 U.S. states, plus lifetime map updates
  • Lane assist with junction view
  • Displays speed limit and accurate arrival time
  • Easily find addresses and millions of points of interest
  • Spoken turn-by-turn directions

The Garmin 2597 LMT is just as tempting to purchase, with the following features:
  • 5" display
  • Maps of 49 U.S. states, plus lifetime map updates
  • Lane assist with junction view
  • Displays speed limit and accurate arrival time
  • Easily find addresses and millions of points of interest
  • Spoken turn-by-turn directions

The Xbox One at Best Buy is an awesome gift choice!

My second oldest son, now grown and very busy working, is still a gamer at heart. Paying his own bills though, doesn't leave a lot of room for indulgent purchases...lucky for him, he's got a mom who thinks that's what parents (from time-to-time) are for, and most especially so at Christmas. I know he would love an Xbox One gaming system, and he may well find one this year, under the tree, with his name on it. There is an Xbox One at Best Buy that comes in a bundle package (with a game) for a great price. I'm thinking that will be the perfect surprise gift to give him from 'Santa.' I could get him the console alone, and I know he'd love it, but it'd be nice for him to have a game too (so he could play right away...a perfect way to spend a little of his vacation time, and I'm sure his older brother who will be here visiting as well, will want to play with him too).

What is Xbox One?

Xbox One was built by gamers, for gamers. With the best exclusive titles (Halo and Sunset Overdrive), the biggest blockbusters (Assasin's Creed and Call of Duty), the hottest sports franchises (Madden 15, FIFA 15, NBA 2K15), and top family titles (Fantasia: Music Evolved, Just Dance 15, and Skylanders) Xbox One takes gaming to a whole new level.

In addition to being a great gaming console, Xbox One connects consumers unlike any other device. XBox One enables access to the latest TV shows and movies through your favorite apps. With Xbox One all of your media is at your fingertips when you want it. Visit Best Buy to learn more.


My oldest son and my teen would love a JBL Holiday from Best Buy!

My teen and my oldest son are my music babies. Giving them a JBL Holiday from Best Buy would absolutely make them happy. My oldest works out a lot, and when he does his music is right there with him...always. I know he'd love the JBL Reflect Earbud Headphones. They are designed with a sweat-proof ergonomic design, have a 5-hour rechargeable battery, and a reach of about 40 feet! The JBL Reflect BT's key benefit is the design of the ergonomic ear tips along with the built-in magnets that keep your buds on standby without loose cables.

That's not the only time my son likes music though, like his younger sister, he likes to hear music anytime. For either him or my daughter, the JBL Charge 2 or JBL Flip 2 portable speakers would be an awesome Best Buy purchase.

The JBL Charge 2 has twin passive radiators for deep bass, a massive 6000mAh battery, and a 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.

The JBL Flip 2, aside from the dual performance-tuned JBL drivers and a built-in bass port, also has SoundClear echo and noise cancellation, combined with a state-of-the-art microphone system to pick up calls on the speaker.


So now I have shared some of the items on our holiday shopping list this year. With Expert Service and Unbeatable Prices, Best Buy is absolutely our go-to place for holiday shopping. Did you see something on the list that you would like to buy for someone as well?

    Nice post.

    1. I thought of that too. Hubby never visits, and the kids only do if I want to show them something on here, which is rarely. ;)

  3. My oldest son would love these gifts. He is big into electronics.

  4. Hubby has been hinting for a GPS. I'm sure he will want this!

  5. Hubby is hinting for tools this year. I don't know why. It's a real pain getting him to use the ones he does have. I think he'd get more use out of what Best Buy has to offer!

  6. Your family sounds just like mine - each of those gifts would be perfect for one of them!

  7. WOW.... lots of stuff. Well, since I don't need any more stuff, nor neither does any one on my list, I'll hope the space under your tree is jolly and filled to the brim.
