Lots of gifts to start shopping for this weekend. Even if you don’t make it to the deals on Black Friday, you can get deals before and after the major shopping holiday. You may find carrier stores are not only for phones. You can find great tech accessories. You may also find that speakers are now more than wireless, they have “smart assistants”. Here’s a list of great tech accessories and where you can buy them. I’ll keep updating the list as gift ideas show up.
Fitbit Versa
Fitbit has a great lineup of activity trackers. The Fitbit Versa Smartwatch is a great mix of both activity tracker and smartwatch features. If you know someone who is a semi-serious about fitness but wants some smartwatch features such as notifications and music playback, they will enjoy the Fitbit Versa. You can pick it up or order it at Verizon stores too. Verizon will have a sale where you can get up to $50 off.
JBL Link Speaker
One of my favorite speakers. It’s waterproof, has a smart assistant, it’s portable and sounds great. What else do you need in a smart speaker? If you want the JBL Link sound with a display, you may want to check out the Link View. JBL sound with a visual Google Assistant. Check out the review here.
Keepsake Frame
Give the gift of a beautiful picture. With the Keepsake app, you can upload a pic, choose the right frame and send it to that special someone. An easy personalized gift that anyone would love.
