Cyberzone, the largest chain of IT retail stores in the Philippines, sums up its own version of Christmas Gift Guide for this year as tech to bring smile to kids, tech for a cozier home, and tech for the eco-conscious.
Gift Ideas That Would Bring a Smile to Kids
With technology constantly evolving, a whole new range of tech toys is always available for kids to enjoy and take advantage of for better learning and to make their lives easier. If you are trying to look for the perfect tech toys to give your mini-me’s this Christmas, here are some great ideas from Cyberzone:
Video Games
Video games have a bad rep for some reason, but the truth is that they have amazing benefits for kids. They can speed up their response times, stimulate creativity, improve critical thinking, and encourage teamwork. You just need to make sure to choose games that are suitable for your kids’ age. Some fun yet beneficial video games you might want to consider to give kids this Christmas include Overcooked, Animal Crossing, and Mario Kart.
Virtual Reality Headsets
If you want to level up your kid’s gaming experience and really see that smile on their face, consider getting them a virtual reality headset like the Oculus Rift or Gear VR. This will allow them to experience a world of their own creation in a whole new way, and we guarantee they will definitely enjoy them.
Tablets
If you are looking for a tech toy that your child can use for school and other educational purposes, a tablet is a great choice as it can be used for both learning and entertainment. There are various useful tablets for students out there, each with their own features. Some of the most affordable ones include the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8, the Huawei MatePad T10, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite.
Smart Speakers
A smart speaker is a great way to interact with technology in a hands-free way. Kids can use smart speakers to listen to music and audiobooks but also to ask burning questions they have on their mind. If you have an inquisitive kid who likes to ask you informative questions, this is a great way to get them the answers they need while working as a form of entertainment at the same time. Some popular smart speakers include the Bose SoundLink Color and the Harman Infinity One.
Instant Cameras
One tech toy that would be a fun purchase for your kid this Christmas is an instant camera. Not only will it teach your kids the value of preserving memories, but they are sure to have a blast releasing their inner creativity with one too. They can also use their shots for scrapbooks, as gifts, or to decorate their lockers and rooms. You can never go wrong with a Fujifilm Instax Mini when it comes to this as it comes with so many different and quirky film options that your kids are sure to love.
Gift ideas for a Cozier Home
With the Christmas holidays just around the corner, you’ve probably already started to get your home ready for all of the festivities. Whether you have plans of hosting a party or simply want to make sure your house is in pristine condition for the comfiest holidays ever here are Cyberzone’s gift idea that can make your life easier and more convenient.
Mi Robot Vacuum Mop 2
If there’s one thing to look forward to during the holidays, it’s to get some much-needed rest. In fact, the last thing you’ll probably want to do is think about cleaning the house. Fortunately, there are smart home devices that can help with this chore nowadays.
The Mi Robot Vacuum Mop 2 can keep your floors clean on days when you’re just not feeling like mopping. It has a powerful 2700Pa suction fan blower and improved pressurized mopping to ensure that it takes care of any mess effectively and efficiently. With a battery life of up to 110 minutes, it can definitely get the job done every day, so you can just sit back, relax, and get that well-deserved rest.
Xiaomi Air Purifier Max Pro
It’s not just the floors that need to stay clean during the holidays, though. The air in your home should be kept clean too.
With the Xiaomi Air Purifier Max Pro, you can rest easy knowing that the air that your family and guests breathe is always truly clean. This smart home device is said to eliminate 99.97% of particles as tiny as 0.3 microns for areas up to 84 sq. m. Its PM 2.5 laser sensor even automatically sets the fan speed, so you literally don’t have to think about a thing. (That’s why it’s called a smart home device, after all.)
You won’t have to worry about noise either because the Xiaomi Air Purifier Max Pro uses advanced noise reduction technology to ensure it doesn’t bother you even when you sleep. In fact, you may even forget that it’s there doing its magic for your home altogether.
Google Chromecast 2
If bingeing your favorite TV shows and catching up on movies is on your holiday checklist, then you need to get a Google Chromecast 2. This handy smart home device can easily connect anyone’s device to your TV, so you can watch whatever you usually watch on your mobile device on a bigger screen.
It’s convenient for families to share what they’re watching; and if you have guests over for the holidays, they can easily connect to it too. All you have to do is plug the Google Chromecast 2 into your TV’s HDMI port, tap to connect to your phone, and you can instantly start streaming the content of your choice. It works with basically any streaming app you might have, and you can even use your voice to control it. It’s definitely one of the best smart home devices out there.
Sonos One Smart Speaker
What’s a party without a speaker? Or what’s a shower session without a speaker, for that matter? Whatever use you might have for it, a smart speaker is one of the best smart home devices to have for any occasion. The best kind, however, is the kind that you bring anywhere – outdoors, indoors, on trips, in the shower. Yes, the shower is important for this.
The Sonos One is our current smart speaker of choice because it isn’t just the ideal size for portability, but it also looks sleek and classy. Despite its portability, you can actually look forward to rich and powerful sound from this speaker, so you can truly enjoy every listening experience. What’s more, you can control it via voice assistant, so you can conveniently change songs and turn up the volume while in the shower. Yes, we’re still in the shower.
Philips Hue White and Color Ambience Bulb Set
For an extra special holiday vibe, consider changing your light bulbs at home to the Philips Hue White and Color Ambience Bulb Set. With it, you can light up your home in different colors, whether you’re having a party or simply want to get into the holiday spirit. Of course, you can choose to just use regular white light when needed as well.
What makes this smart home device ultra-festive is the fact that you can also sync it to your music, games, and TV for a truly immersive experience. Plus, you can control it from practically anywhere and even set automated schedules for it, like dimming it at night so you can relax more, or turning on a different color as you work out for those gym-party vibes.
Gift Ideas for the Eco-conscious
Technology is a big part of our lives, but it can also have a negative impact on the environment. From the mining of raw materials to the manufacturing and disposal of electronic devices, the tech industry produces a significant amount of waste and pollution.
However, there is a growing movement towards developing more sustainable tech gadgets and accessories. These sustainable choices are designed to minimize their environmental impact while still offering the same features and functionality as traditional tech products.
Energy-Efficient Light Bulbs
LED light bulbs use up to 90% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs. Plus, they last much longer. This means that even though they might be a bit pricier upfront, you’ll actually save money on your energy bills and reduce your environmental impact in the long run.
As such, you might want to consider changing your light bulbs to the Philips Hue White and Color Ambience Bulb Set. Not only does this set include smart energy-efficient LED bulbs, but they are also a fun addition to any home as you can change the colors of your lights as you please depending on your mood and the vibe you are going for on different days and events. They also all work together to make your home life more convenient.
Accessories Made of Recycled Materials
There are various brands that use recycled materials in their manufacturing process for a smaller environmental impact. Incase has laptop sleeves made with recycled twill, for instance, and they are available in different sizes and colors to fit your laptop and suit your personal preferences.
The Marshall Middleton, for instance, is a bluetooth speaker built with 55% post-consumer recycled plastic from used electronics, water bottles and automotive light covers, and is 100% PVC-free.
These are just a few examples of the many tech gadgets and accessories that are available today at SM Cyberzone. Make sure to get your #TechAssured products from SM Cyberzone to ensure authenticity, reliability, and durability.
