Peek Prints Professional Photography Back Drops
Now this item itself is not a tech item or gadget however for the amateur or professional photographers in your life they will love Peek Prints! These are amazingly well printed backdrops and they have so many designs! The quality is top notch and I should know as I’ve been using them for the last few weeks. I love it and so will those who are doing any sort of photography! Check them out on Etsy!
Here is just one of the pictures I’ve taken with a Peek Prints Photography Background! I love it!
Klipsch First Bluetooth® In-Ear Headphone
Whether you’re a gamer or an audiophile having a pair of comfortable headphones that has great sound is something we look for. My daughter and I also need them to be comfortable so we’re thrilled about these in-ear headphones as I personally don’t love the overhead ones although my daughter will use those ones as few earphones are comfortable enough to wear. So we are thrilled to welcome the Klipsch Bluetooth in-ear headphone into our lives!
The Klipsch R6 In-Ear Bluetooth model’s behind-the-ear design delivers superior comfort and takes the bulk out of your ear canal. The model is also equipped with patented oval ear tips for which Klipsch is known, providing endless hours of comfortable wear. Unlike circular-shaped ear tips that put stress the pressure points inside the ear, Klipsch’s patented oval ear tips naturally fit the contours of the ear canal, providing comfortable long-term wear. These ear tips also offer superior noise isolation (or passive noise-cancellation), blocking out almost all ambient noise and providing excellent bass. Oval ear tips fit best, feel best and only Klipsch has them.

Nena Sinclair says
My son is crazy about Minecraft, so I’d love to get the Minecraft Story Mode – Season Pass Disc for him!
Charity says
I think the Minecraft game would be awesome. I have a PS3 and I’ve wanted to play Minecraft, but am not big on PC/Mac gaming at all. I also think the bluetooth in-ear headphones are really great. I love in-ear headphones and would love to have bluetooth ones so I don’t have cords all over me!
Kimberly B says
My grandson would absolutely love the Minecraft Story Mode. He’s a video game addicts. Thanks for the guide. I’m running out to get screen protectors, great way to protect your investment.
heather wesley says
I would say the Minecraft Story Mode – Season Pass Disc because I have a little gamer at home that asked for this for xmas.
John Darrow says
The Peek Prints would be interesting. A couple of my kids are pretty good photographers.
Lisa F. says
Glass screen protectors are a good investment. I have one on my smartphone and so far, the screen has been safe from many drops. I will always get one!
Christina Strapp Lambert says
I would like to get my husband the DarkSide Ollie, looks pretty cool.

Love the list! Screen protectors are a great stocking stuffer! And the bluetooth items are always awesome!

What a lot of great gift ideas. My grandchildren are definitely into the Mindcraft thing, so the PS3 game is a great pick….

I like the sound of Minecraft Story Mode – Season Pass Disc. My roomies enjoy Minecraft on XBox 360, and at least one of them would probably enjoy playing through the story mode!
Blessed Assurance says
I like the intellicast screen protector.
Rita Spratlen says
This category I am always learning about. It is hard to keep up with everything new. These are great ideas. I love the cover for the phone. It looks sturdy too. I am impressed with that phone for sure.
suzanne says
I would love the Ollie Sphero, sounds like a lot of fun!
K-Squared says
Some of your review is so right on…. I had to take a moment to share it with that of my fellow friends. In choosing just one I’d have to choose the Darkside Ollie – This is a one-of-a-kind toy for that of those in which would be not only new but a one of a kind type of toy. It’s (Darkside’s) engine is well protected by a polycarbonate shell which also offers that of what resembles an app-enabled robot driven by adrenaline. All the while an owner can drive it down the stairs, at the park, through almost any dirt area or straight into a solid surface like a wall. This would be the great item to have at that of the next upcoming party!

I love the Darkside Ollie for my son for his upcoming birthday. He’s an adult but loves everything related to his favorite movie. When he was a child he was mesmerized by Star Wars and wielded his toy light saber proudly. He would love this but will he let the grandkids play with it too? 🙂
laura b says
I would add Star Wars Battlefront to the gift guide!
Melissa S says
I need to get a new Intelliglass screen protector. I dropped my phone and the Intelliglass cracked but saved my screen. If I didn’t have it on my phone my screen would have been toast, it was quite a drop, facedown on concrete.
Kristen says
I love the Peek Prints! I can’t afford to have professional photographs made often, these would help get the look of expensive sessions from pics I take myself! Thank you for sharing about them, I didn’t know something like this was easily attainable and I was surprised when I clicked to learn more that they aren’t very expensive!
Pam H. says

Sherry Conrad says
My grandson has been asking and asking for Minecraft Story Mode – he is so in love with that game, although he almost decided he didn’t want it because *SPOILER ALERT* one of his favorite characters (an animal) dies and he is 9 and has such strong feels (we call very strong emotions, especially sadness, the feels) and he saw it on one of his favorite youtubers videos. *SPOILER ALERT*. He decided he could play it after all and so I got it for him. GREAT PICK for anyone into the game as long as they can get over the death.
