This year, it's time to level up on your gift giving - and these are the hottest things you can get to wow your loved one this year. 

Dropmix

First of all, I have to say, this game is so much fun. The premise is a controller that has 5 light up spots, and you play with 2 to 4 players, and each deck has different genres of music. You then add cards to the board to create supermixes. Some of the artists included in the packs range from Ed Sheeran, to Hall & Oats, to Disturbed, The Weekend, and even A Tribe Called Quest.

Considering the fact that you don't need a gaming system to play this (you just set up your phone/tablet for the screen), and it's got all the different genres, it can be fun for all types of groups of people to play.

Pick it up on Amazon.

Amazon Echo, Echo Dot

Depending on what's your fancy, you could give the gift of Alexa this Christmas. Use it to control features on your TV or home devices, order products from Amazon, or request to listen to the radio by asking for the station.  Snag the device on Amazon for a different range of prices based on the Dot, the original Echo, or even a Wood Finished version.

Wireless Headphones

You can't go wrong with wireless headphones. And you don't have to necessarily get Air Pods to feel the free range. There's a whole slew of different brands on Amazon that you can pick up, with varying cost points. They connect through Bluetooth for the most part, and some even come with an Aux wire / port so you can still use them with the computer.

Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch has been a big thing this year, and with games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the WildMarioKart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey, and just released on December 6, WWE's 2k18.

Prynt Pocket Printer

If you love the feel of tangible pictures, this Prynt Pocket Printer is super sick. You just plug your iPhone into the dock, and choose the photo you'd like to print out, and it prints it on the spot. Snag it for your Apple user off Amazon. Sadly, the Prynt only comes for iPhone products. But don't fret, you can always go the more frugal route, and pick up a Fujifilm Instax camera, which personally, I think I like the idea of that better, just because the photos are framed like Polaroids. You can order those on Amazon as well.

Happy Shopping!
