Best Gifts to Give this Holiday Season

By Caitlin Soto on December 22nd, 2011

 

Why is it that when Christmas rolls around, trips to the mall seem more like a job then a fun diversion? I always find myself asking this question every time I have to succumb myself to driving to the mall to find gifts for Mom and Dad. And, who could blame me? Instead of shopping for myself, I have to agonize over what gifts to give who, and whether or not that said person will like the gift enough not to return it. This year, however, I've decided to stop all the madness, and find a more spirited way of buying gifts. So, I've compiled the five best gifts to give anyone this holiday season. 
 
1. Apple Touch IPod:
A great gift to give anyone, the Touch IPod is great for athletes and music lovers alike. With abilities like Wi-Fi, and games this gift is an all around great gift to give this Christmas. 
 
2. Nikon 1 Camera: 
I'm sure you've seen the commercial with Ashton Kutcher, and the new Nikon 1 camera. And, if you haven't this commercial is definitely worth finding on YouTube. The new Nikon 1 Cameras combine the latest in camera technology with portability to create incredible digital images on the go. So, for those photo-savvy individuals on your gift list this holiday, the new Nikon 1 is definitely the way to go. And, the best part, it comes in an array of colors!  
 
3. Kindle
With the kindle, consumers have the ability to download hundreds of books to a small, portable device. A new and innovative way to gift a book, this item is perfect for all ages! 
 
4. Kinect Xbox:
The Kinect is a motion sensing  input device by Microsoft  for the Xbox 360  video game console . This device allows the user to scratch wires, and be the controller. A great gift for the whole family to enjoy! 
 
5. IPad 2: 
The IPad 2, one of the best gifts (in my opinion), is a revolution in the way people use electronic devices. You can Skype, email, and use social media all on one light, and portable device. This is a great gift for dad, or the prospective college student.
