Best Gifts For The Entire Family: Best Buy Has ‘Em!

best buy holiday gift guide

I know you’re out there shopping, readers, and we’ve got you covered! Have you visited Best Buy lately? Our location here in Regina is on the opposite end of the city from us, but we still visit when we’re in the area. Of course, Best Buy has been a go-to for us this holiday season when looking for gift ideas for the kids, because their website is packed full of items for everyone in the family. I bet you don’t think of luggage when you think of Best Buy, but it’s true – our last luggage set came from BestBuy.ca! They’re known for much more than just electronics, though admittedly it’s what comes to mind when we think of the store.

Here are two gift ideas from Best Buy that may cause you to go, “Ah-ha!” because you’ve finally, this week, found the gift you’ve been looking for, for someone on your list!

Hue A19 smart LED light bulbs

Check out the Philips Hue A19 Smart Personal Wireless Light Bulb Starter Kit ($199.99) for dad, mom, your university student, or bestie. Let me just say that I am super-impressed with how many household items can now be controlled via your device thanks to wifi and bluetooth technology. With this starter kit, light bulbs in your house can now be adjusted to suit your mood – need a sunset for a January beach party, or blue to settle in and watch a great holiday movie? You got it!  It can also connect with your Nest Cam or Protect alarm (each sold separately) to automatically turn off the lights when you leave, or flash red if smoke or carbon monoxide are detected!

iHealth HS6 Wireless Core Body Composition ScaleWith my focus on calorie counting and weight loss this year, I hope Santa knows that the iHealth HS6 Wireless Core Body Composition Scale ($179.99) is on my list! This is the perfect gift for the fitness-minded: help them keep their goals on track with the iHealth Core body composition scale that measures and tracks 9 aspects of overall health, including weight, BMI, and muscle mass. You can then read your health data on your smartphone using iHealth’s intuitive MyVitals app, which is compatible with Android and iOS devices.

Samsung Gear VR (2016) HeadsetLikely to be found under many trees this year because of how innovative it is, the Samsung Gear VR (2016) Headset ($139.99) is available at Best Buy in store and online (you can even reserve the product in store so it’s waiting for you!) Have you seen the commercials? Transport your loved ones to a whole other world with the Samsung Gear VR (2016) headset. Powered by Oculus, it works with compatible Samsung phones to bring you an incredibly immersive mobile virtual reality experience free from distractions of the outside world. A 101-degree field of view surrounds you with 2D and 360-degree videos, photos, and games.

Meccano Meccasaur Personal Robot DinosaurThis looks super fun, and bound to entertain kids for a long time. The Meccano Meccasaur Personal Robot Dinosaur ($129.99 on sale until Dec 15) features 715 parts with a motorized module and brain that combine to create a 3-foot long programmable T-Rex. It responds to petting with realistic movements, roars, and can even answer yes or no questions!

You can find these an more great gift ideas in the Best Buy Holiday Gift Ideas 2016 page at BestBuy.ca and of course in store. Helpful associates are there to answer all your questions and get you in and out in time to come home to a hot chocolate by the fire, to reward yourself for a job well done! Happy shopping!
