Must Have Gift: The LG OLED TV at Best Buy!

 

Television has always been a big part of my life growing up. I remember when my grandma had the big ol’ box TV that sat on the ground with the fuzzy ant picture from the antenna not working correctly, and my parents having the big, boxy flat screen TV that weighed a crap ton with the bulbous colored tubes on the inside. Those went out a few times since we had family movie night pretty much every night of the week. My mom was at Hollywood Video every Tuesday morning when they released new movies, just so we could get the latest blockbusters to watch and enjoy throughout the week with dinner. There were 6 of us to go to a theater, so we couldn’t always afford to do so. Rightfully so, since movie theaters are way overpriced. Even with 2 people it’s hard to accommodate at times. We spend $50+ going to the theater for one movie, so I figured I’d go to Best Buy and check out their TV selection and save with our very in-home theater. Granted it will be a big chunk of change at once with our purchase, but the savings over time should be cost effective.

There was one that caught my eye; The LG OLED TV. It has a pencil thin, 4k curved screen, and the 4k picture is vibrant in color and exceptionally crystal clear! It is seriously a magnificent TV, one that I must have so I can continue on with family movie nights with my soon to be little one. The way our living room is now, we would probably benefit greatly from the curved screen. Seems genius to me!

What is OLED TV?

 

The stunning design of LG OLED TV is only 0.21″ thick at its thinnest point. Picture quality is spectacular, with Infinite Contrast that ranges from the most blazing whites to the deepest blacks. And, LG’s exclusive 4 Color Pixel technology delivers bright, vibrant colors. Learn more here: LGOLEDatBestbuy.com

Your first kiss. A baby’s first steps. The majesty of a desert sunset. Some things in life defy all explanation and must be experienced to be believed. Such is the case with LG’s latest display technology. With deeper and richer colors, stunning contrast and ingeniously curved screens, it is unlike any technology you’ve ever seen, and it delivers a picture that exceeds your wildest imagination.

My husband and I will probably get one for the mere fact that it’s a huge upgrade from our current LG LED TV, and it’s super lightweight which will make it easy to put it above the fireplace. If this isn’t on your list for #HintingSeason, you’re a little bit crazy! 😉

The Greatest Gifts for Grads at Best Buy

The Greatest Gifts for Grads at Best Buy



graduationIt’s that time of year again, summer is starting and seniors are graduating. This last Saturday we went up to Stevenson, WA and watched a niece graduate. I had never been to a small high school, so it was kind of neat to see how other schools do it. I am from the city, so we had a class of 500+ versus our nieces class of 60. No matter the class size, it’s always nice to see your family succeed in life. So very proud.

I think the hardest part about graduation is deciding upon what to get the graduate as a gift. Last year, when my youngest sister graduated, we bought her a laptop since she didn’t have anything like that. We figured it would help her out with future college classes. About 2 weeks after we gave it to her at her party, a dog sat on it and cracked the inside of the screen. Thankfully it wasn’t much more than that and was an easily replaceable fix, minus the $60 it cost. We have learned that even though insurance options seem like an expensive, additional charge at checkout, that it is needed as it could potentially save your butt, like in our case.

But, we’re still trying to decide what to get the niece since she hasn’t had her graduation party yet, in fact, it won’t be until next month, which gives us a month to figure it out. I figure either money or something electronic since teens these days need to be up to date on social media with the latest and greatest gadgets like the iPhone 5s. My 19 year old sister has been wanting that phone so I figure that would probably be an ideal option.

Some other great options for the networking graduate that we found at Best Buy are:

Regardless of what we decide to get our niece, I am sure she’d be happy with whatever we chose.

 

Do you have any family graduating this year?

6 Great Gifts for Mom at Best Buy!

6 Great Gifts for Mom at Best Buy!

Mother’s day is almost here! Have you thought about what you’re getting for mom for her special day? Although I think moms should be loved and adored everyday of the year, it’s always nice to know that you’re appreciated on at least one.

Mother’s Day happens to fall on May 11th this year, so you still have a couple weeks to find a gift if you haven’t already. And I decided to put together 6 Great Gift Ideas for Mom at Best Buy that all types of moms would probably enjoy.

1.) Keurig Elite Single Serve Brewer (On the Go Mom):

I absolutely love my Keurig. It’s nice to have a single serve brewer that you can stick in a thermal cup and then head out the door with.  The best part is, you’re not wasting coffee, which means you’re saving money comparative to the the 12 cup brewers.

 

2.) Floor Mopping iRobot (Busy Mom):

If I had tons of wood/laminate/tile floor, I’d probably have this on my list of must haves for those times I don’t always have time to mop. I mean, who wouldn’t want their own personal robot slave?

 

3.) KitchenAid Ultra Power-Tilt Head Stand Mixer (Foodie Mom):

Although I don’t enjoy cooking too much, I think if I had one of these bad boys, I’d probably be more inclined to love cooking/baking for my family. Most of the time I am dealing with a hand mixer, which is annoying because it doesn’t always do or work the way I want it to. This would probably alleviate some of my cooking problems. One day you shall be mine KitchenAid Stand Mixer!

 

4.) Ninja Professional Blender (Entertainer Mom):

This is one of those things I absolutely feel is a must have when you have parties, BBQ’s or just random visitors. You can make delicious margaritas, soups, appetizers and much much more with this awesome blender! I can’t wait to use mine more this summer. I envision a lot of boozy slushies this summer.

 

5.) Samsung Gear 2 Smart Watch with Heart Rate Monitor (Fitness Mom):

This is one of those things that I feel like is a cool thing to have, especially if you take fitness serious and don’t like packing your phone around with you while you’re being active. Track your heart rate, take photos or videos that automatically get sent to your phone once you sync it, use blue tooth for calls, play music, watch videos and more. I don’t think it gets any better or easier than this!

 

6.) Samsung Galaxy Tab 4:  Tech Mom

I honestly don’t know what I would do without my tablet. I take this with me practically anywhere, everywhere cause wifi is the norm nowadays, which is nice, so I can stay up to date with the business aspect of this blog, social media, and family. I probably carry this thing around with me more than I do my phone, which is kind of sad. LOL

 

If none of these ideas work for you or have caught your eye, then check out the latest for the greatest mom in the Best Buy Gift Center that have a low-price guarantee and free shipping with qualified purchase . 🙂

Best Buy: Where you Can Catch It All Now!

Best Buy: Where you Can Catch It All Now!

Some of you may be big fans of the current NCAA March Madness games that have been going on as of late. I know when we’re watching NFL, we always have the laptop open, my tablet on, sometimes even our phones so we can stay up to date on other games to see where everyone stands. There’s always multiple games on at the same time and this makes it easy for us to catch it all so we don’t miss a thing! I’m just glad we live in a world where we’re so technologically advanced. Back in the day, we had 1 bulky TV and we could only watch 1 program. How did we survive? LOL I have no clue!

 

CatchItAll_Twitter_Image_Post

Best Buy makes it easy for you to catch it all now with their smart HDTVs, cellphones, tablets, laptops and more! Head over to their website and check out how you can stay connected with multi-screen madness.

The one device that I cannot go without is probably my tablet. I usually have this near me at all times, especially if I am downstairs watching TV, that way I can stay connected with family, friends, and my blog. It’s less bulky than my laptop and it works fast and efficiently. Except when I need to type up a blog post, then I switch to the laptop. But if I am just replying to a comment or concern, then tablet it is! My family and friends know I probably won’t answer my cell phone since I hate typing on the small screen with the tiny buttons and actually talking on it. I definitely need to start liking the phone more, but maybe once I upgrade from my dinosaur to a smart phone, I’ll enjoy it a bit more. But until then, my tablet is my go to for most of my needs.

What is your go to device to stay connected?
