Christmas presents can be stressful business anyway
but in these times of fast fashions, fads and technology it can be even
trickier to pick a present that will last longer in your loved one’s affections
past New Year’s Day. Whether you are buying for a young gamer, conscientious
student or mad music fan, here are some tips on what to buy this Christmas and
ensure they are still enjoying their gift this time next year.
TVs
Television technology moves very quickly these days. It
doesn’t seem long since we were all watching massive backed screens which took
a forklift truck to install in our living rooms. Now, we are all reaping the
benefits of sleek thin designs with quality picture and sound quality. Electronic
suppliers such as
www.electricshop.com
stock mainly LED screens these days but there are more advanced models such as
SMART TVs which link directly to the internet, 4K screen technology for superb
quality pictures and curved screens which are set to be the neatest thing in
2015.
Console Games
Console gaming can be an expensive hobby and it is difficult
to keep track of the latest games and when they will be updated. This Christmas
there are two titles which will be flying off the shelves in places like
Game.
Call
of Duty: Advanced Warfare is the latest in this highly popular series of
game and comes out in early November.
Assassins
Creed Unity is another high profile pre-Christmas release which will make
most gamers’ festive period and hopefully give them hours of enjoyment until at
least summertime.
Laptops
When thinking of purchasing future-proof laptops the best
thing you can factor in is virus protection. Websites such as PCAdvisor
are great for offering advice on the best antivirus software. It is also
important to consider the laptop brands with the best reputations. If you can
afford one, a Macbook is probably the safest option but if you are not a fan of
Apple products or don’t fancy the hefty price tag, models such as the Sony Vaio
AW, Panasonic Toughbook 74 make great purchases. Both offer quality screens as
well as decent processors and RAM.
Fashion
For fashion advice it is best to bow to the established authorities.
For 2014/15 Autumn-Winter
Vogue recommend
items such as polo necks, capes and other wraps like ponchos and cocooning
coats.
Music
For the young pop fan in your life it is no longer good enough
just to get that Christmas X Factor single. Releases from artists such as
Calvin Harris, Ne-Yo and of course One Direction should be top of your pop
picker’s list. If you are looking for something a bit edgier, albums from TV on
the Radio, Eminem and The Voyeurs will provide a little more street cred.
