Between Thanksgiving Dinner, end of the year deadlines, holiday parties, Christmas movie marathons and all that eggnog—the last couple of months of 2015 blew by in a hurry taking your holiday shopping time along with it. With Christmas only a few days away, how can you possibly knock off all the remaining gifts on your list? Fortunately, you can breathe a sigh of relief—the BuyDig team has got you covered. Here are 4 last minute Christmas gift ideas to help you knock off those last few gifts on your list.
#1 Beats by Dre
Just because you’re shopping last minute, doesn’t mean your gift has to reflect that somber fact—headphones are something everyone owns but many people take for granted. Upgrading someone’s soundsystem from standard issue Apple earbuds to full fledged headphones is practically guaranteed to give a boost to the quality of sound in their life. Gifting them these Beats by Dre Pro Over-Ear Studio Headphones will blow their eardrums to sound heaven, and craft the illusion that you did your due diligence in researching headphones. The Beats By Dre line of headphones continue to be among the best selling in its class, and for good reason—the elegant design isn’t just nice on the ears, it’s easy on the eyes too. Furthermore, clear highs and deep lows make the Beats Pro perfect for the audiophile in your life who’s “all about that base.”
#2 GoPro HERO4 Session
When last minute gift shopping, it’s important to stick to what’s new—you wouldn’t want to make the social faux pas of gifting someone something they already own, or even worse: gifting them something you gave them the year before. To this end, one of the hottest pieces of tech on Christmas shopping lists this year is the GoPro Hero4 Session. A total game changer, the Session is the fifth and newest member of the GoPro family, and hit online shelves this past July. 50 percent smaller and 40 percent lighter than its predecessor, the Session packs 1080p video capability and the ability to snap 8 MP stills into a 1.5 inch cube. That’s a lot of power for such a tiny package, and the extra portability means the action lover in your life will be able videolog their life from new and exciting angles. It also means you’ll set the bar for stocking stuffers high for years to come.
#3 DJI Phantom 3 Professional
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) expects 1 million new drones to take to the skies this Christmas, and is already frantically working to roll out new regulations in anticipation of one of the fastest growing sectors in tech. While other studies place that number closer to 400,000 that’s still a lot of new drones, and if you want to help the gadget lover in your life get in on the latest tech sensation, BuyDig recommends the DJI Phantom 3 or its predecessor the DJI Phantom 2 Vision. We talk about the DJI Phantom a lot on this site for good reason—it’s hands down the best way for aspiring drone operators to enter into the exciting world of quadcopters. Ready-to-fly right out of the box, the DJI Phantom gives its pilot an eye in the sky streamable via an app on their smartphone or tablet PC. Ease of controls, a high quality camera and the ability to swap in a GoPro make it the fastest and easiest way for anyone new to the game to start filming quality aerial cinematics and epic dronies.
#4 OLED TV
Doing some last minute shopping for the man of the house? Why not give his man cave a much needed upgrade? Since this is a last minute shopping guide, chances are you don’t have the luxury of comparing different models and navigating the complex world of LCDs, LEDs and 4K Ultra HD. We’ll save you the trouble, by recommending this LG 55-Inch Full HD 1080p Curved OLED TV. Why an OLED TV? Since plasmas were defeated by LEDs in the early 2000s, color accuracy took a hit in favor of higher resolution, screen brightness and longevity. OLEDs bring back blacker blacks, whiter whites and more vibrant colors with the same 4K Ultra HD resolution of comparable LEDs and comparable lifetimes. Unless dad already owns an LG, chances are very high his TV is currently an LED.
