Holiday Gift Guide ’17

Christmas is one of the more joyous times of the year. A time spent with friends and family eating food, opening gifts, and making memories. This year, our Holiday Gift Guide is a collection of things we love. Finding the right gift can be hard, but it can also be easy — if you know what you wanna get. Tons of stores offer the same products by different brands. We wanna help you make the right choice. Everything on this list is hand picked. Just like every gift should be. And it comes with everything from small kitchen appliances, gift sets, DIY sets, and bottles we love. Remember to consider express shipping (if available) to make it in time for Christmas. Some products may be available in-stores so if shipping is not an option, you can always rush to do your last minute shopping in-store.

AVION WATERFORD COLLECTION

As featured in our Bottles We Love Gift Guide, it was so nice we had to show it twice. Truly one of the better gift sets you can purchase this Christmas for someone special. This unique 3-piece Waterford Crystal Collection and bottle of Tequila Avion is any tequila connoisseur’s dream. Even better, you can enjoy this right after opening on Christmas Eve or wait till your New Years party to pop this baby out and enjoy with friends. Regardless, we think its the best bottled gift set on the market for the price.

One of my favorite things to do at the end of every night, is sit back and play a couple games of Call of Duty with my friends. We all have that person in our life, wether they’re younger or older.

You don’t have to be a “gamer” to broaden your gaming experience. This wireless headset from Turtle Beach delivers some of the best sound quality you can possibly get. They’re amazing and anyone will be lucky to have a pair for their new gaming console this Christmas.
