It’s that time of year! The holidays are quickly approaching and it’s time to start thinking about gifts and shopping, which can be both fun and overwhelming. I have come up with a list of holiday gift ideas for tech loving families out there. (I know my family is one for sure!) And you can even find some great deals using Dell’s 10% MILITARY DISCOUNT, plus they have APO/FPO shipping and a 30 day price match guarantee!
PCs – Almost every family these days has a PC. Maybe it’s time for an update this holiday season? This could be a great family gift or even a gift for a spouse, or for the kids as well. Check out Dell’s new PCs featuring Windows 10 to start your search for the perfect PC for your family. We are a multi PC family with one for the grownups, and one for the kids.
Laptops – I love that my laptop lets me work all over the house (the couch recliner is my favorite spot) and the fact that I can take it with us when we travel. Laptops also make great gifts for college, or soon to be college aged kids. We got Boo one the Christmas before he left for college and three years later, he’s still using it daily.
Gaming Laptop – Have a gamer in your life? I know there are quite a few military gamers stationed overseas who may be looking for a new gaming laptop. Thankfully, Dell makes it easy since they will ship to APO/FPO addresses! Check out the New ALIENWARE 15 GAMING LAPTOP. You just may make the gamer in your life very happy this holiday season!
Tablet – Tablets are a great gift! They are so handy, portable, and great for traveling. Mr. B and Bea love theirs and use them daily. These are also great gifts for college students as well, as they may be easier to take to class than a heavier laptop.
GPS (Global Positioning System) – While GPS units for the car may be not as common in the U.S. anymore, they are a huge MUST for families living overseas. Cell phone service is not always reliable and you travel through different countries where you probably won’t have coverage. This is a great gift for any family living overseas – just make sure it has the correct maps, such as the European maps for Germany. Don’t tell him, but Mr. B may be getting one this holiday season. 😉
Sports Watch – These can time your runs, track your distance, serve as a compass, monitor heart rates and many more awesome things in addition to telling time. These are great for the health conscious members in your family. Being in the military requires you to pass regular PT (Physical Training) tests and sports watches help Mr. B to keep track of his time and distance, to make sure that he stays on track with the regulations.
MP3 Player – Who doesn’t love music? With an MP3 player, your music loving family members can store all their songs, create playlists, and jam out to tunes on a daily basis. Add a little portable speaker and the whole family can have a dance party in the living room. Compact and convenient for traveling as well! These make great gifts for kids AND adults.
Game System – Family fun can be found from the many game systems available. Technology has come a long way since I was a kid playing a joystick game with a cartridge. Game systems are now even interactive, and can get you and the kids up and moving while playing games. I do have to say, one of the best times was when the kids and I spent a few days tackling the original Mario version and beating the game, something I could never figure out as a kid, LOL! These make great family gifts, and I know they are popular with teenagers as well.
Cell Phone – Perfect for all ages, super versatile and convenient! Nowadays you can do pretty much everything on your cell phone, well the smartphones, which makes them perfect for staying connected and traveling.
Now my friends, you’ve got some research and shopping to do for your tech lover (and maybe even yourself). Make sure to check out Dell’s award winning PCs, which both consumers and critics love, at prices made affordable with the Member Purchase Program. Dell also sells gaming systems, portable speakers, and wearables (think watches) from top brands in their electronics and accessories store. With an exclusive 10% discount for PCs and tablets and an additional 5% off Dell brand and 3% off non-Dell brand electronics and accessories for military folks, you can’t go wrong!
