November 1 officially means the start of the holiday season for me – and it’s when the most exciting season of the year begins (sorry Halloween)! This year, arguably more so than any other previous year, the joy of the holidays could not be more welcomed… and needed.
But that means that getting your holiday shopping early is also key.
It’s already been widely noted that getting your holiday shopping early this year isn’t just good for the stress levels, but it’s also important if you’re hoping to get all of your gifts on time. I personally love getting my holiday shopping as early as possible (half because that way I don’t have to stress about it and the other half so that I can see wrapped presents under the tree for a longer amount of time haha). And yes. You bet my tree is already up.
Holiday shopping and getting your list together can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be! Best Buy recently just launched their Holiday Hub and it’s got something for everyone on your list. I find that tech gifts are always the winners when it comes to gift giving. They’re thoughtful, and moreover, they’re useful.
I love that the Holiday Hub breaks out gift ideas based on different people and their interests. Whether they’re a plant mom, a selfie-queen, a gamer, the hostess with the mostest, or a fitness fantatic – tech gifts always. get. used. There’s definitely no regifting here haha
I personally found the gaming part of Best Buy’s Holiday Hub to be super helpful for me. I know NOTHING about gaming but Dave is a huge gamer and I know that gaming gifts will always be one he’ll like. Instead of needing to scour the many forums and blogs about the hottest gaming tech, Best Buy had it perfectly laid out for me #Bless
I ended up picking up the Oculus Quest 2 VR Headset for Dave. It’s something I’ve heard him mention briefly and provides another level of immersive gaming experience. I ended up giving Dave this part of his Christmas gift early so that we could get his reaction and #spoileralert: it was a HUGE success. I’ve given Dave tech gifts from Best Buy for countless years in the past, but I think this gift takes the cake.
Tech Gift Ideas For Everyone On Your List
I got super inspired by Best Buy’s Holiday Hub, and rounded up some of my favourites and what person they’d be perfect for in case you’re looking for some inspiration or thought starters. We all have these types of people in our life haha All of these items can be found directly in Best Buy’s Holiday Hub:
If you’re still clueless, a great gift idea for anyone on your list is a Fujifilm Instax Mini. Who doesn’t love capturing memories and moments? In the age of the smartphone, there’s something about holding an image in your hand that’s just so special. Whether it’s your cousin, your niece, your mom, your best friend, or someone you barely know, this is just one of those gifts that works for everyone and any one (myself included)!

They’ll be providing some great deals throughout the month too and you’ll know you’re covered with their Black Friday price guarantee!

Tip: I also love that you can reserve products online with their quick and easy pick up service (in person or from your vehicle). I’ve done this in a jiffy and it’s SO convenient!
Here’s to getting our holiday gift lists checked off early and spending more time sitting in front of the tree watching holiday reruns and romantic comedies!
