Holiday Gift Guide 2011

2011-12-05
what's up guys it's Lew here from unbox therapy and by request I'm sitting here to do this Holiday Gift Guide video I asked you guys in a previous video if you wanted me to do something like this and you guys went crazy saying yes so these are going to be my recommendations for what you should look for this holiday season at different price points i've got everything from under 20 to over 500 - the money ain't a thing category for those of you with fat wallets so to speak and the idea here is to give each one of you some options depending on which what your price point is now everything i'm going to mention here has been featured on the channel at some point so i will put links to every product mention down in the description and i'll try my best as well to put annotations probably over here or somewhere on top of the videos so when i'm talking about a specific item you can click through it'll open in a new window watch that unboxing or review and then come back and continue the holiday gift guide so i'm gonna try and make it as convenient as possible without further ado let's get right into the guide so the first category the lowest category the under $20 gift or something that you want for yourself i'm gonna feature jealous skins now if you haven't been a subscriber for a while you may have missed this particular video i did a video on jealous skins for your iPad your iPhone and also for my Nexus S you can see here I've got a jealous skin on my iPad featured here so anyways the the link to the video is going to be up here as well as in the description go check out jealous kins they're a protective cover for your smart devices or any kind of electronic device they make tons and they've also got a number of different styles so under $20 definitely a unique gift that is gonna surprise anyone and you'll be happy with you can also wear cases over top of them so it's not like it's the only form of protection you can put a case over top of this a clear case for example and still get the artwork showing through next under $50 we've got the ps3 dual shock charging station and this is a very convenient item if you've got a ps3 or you're buying for somebody who does have a ps3 nice price point under 50 bucks and totally useful as we all know it sucks to have to have you know USB cables hanging outside of your console this thing makes charging real easy check out the video to learn more and we've also got headphones that I recently unboxed and I've been using a little bit in the past few days and I'm really impressed with they are the sony MDR 570 LPS once again the link is available to you here and they're not a super expensive headphone obviously they're in the under 50 category but they are a travel headphone so even if you know you or the person you're buying for has a higher quality bigger set of phones they're still gonna you know find some use for these in more sort of portable environments airplanes whatever the next category under $75 we've got my favorite headphones in the world the ones that I use every day the ones that I record audio with the ones that I listen to dubstep with the ones that I listen to everything with the sony xba-1 droid headphones once again you're definitely gonna want to check out this video these things have incredible based representation big huge drivers they're big headphones though so they're more suited to indoor use but of course no one's gonna stop you from rocking them on the street we've also got the Logitech keyboard case for the iPad 2 I actually really like this case it's going to give you the functionality of a case but it's also going to give you a keyboard bluetooth based keyboard if you want to try to be more productive on your iPad and the last in the under 75 category is uncharted 3 you guys probably know it's the Uncharted series has been my favorite series in video games probably at least modern video games and uncharted 3 does not disappoint amazing story awesome voice acting you know amazing cutscenes etc if you're into those style of games and you haven't checked out uncharted 3 or you want to ask your parents for a game this year and you have a ps3 get uncharted 3 so lastly no not lastly what am I talking about we got more categories to go or let's move to the hundred dollar category we've got the sony ps3 7.1 emulated surround sound headset this just came out recently it's wireless it's convenient it's not the best headset in the world it's not the worst headset in the world again it's it's an incredibly easy to setup it's convenient rechargeable you can't go wrong with it if you've got you know an old-school Bluetooth headset or none at all this is a big improvement the next item we've got is the WD livewire if you guys I don't know if you guys have watched this unboxing it's a little bit older and you may have wondered what the hell is that item and not clicked on it very cool little device for sending Internet through your power cables in your house now you're probably saying wait a minute dude I got a router I got Wi-Fi why would I want to do that this thing provides a significantly more reliable connection in my experience especially for games consoles so you can run this baby down to your game consoles and get a more reliable connection and then what Wi-Fi might be giving you and also if it's out of reach of Wi-Fi for getting like I'm just just a tiny little signal this might work better for you so check out that video and then lastly we've got the performance mouse MX that's a Logitech mouse I've been using the Logitech performance series for a while now from the MX revolution to this one they are my favorite mice incredibly ergonomic programmable Mac PC whatever you want to do with it awesome Mouse under $200 we've got the Logitech z6 two three speakers these are the ones as well that I use everyday lots of power for the money they could be had for anywhere between 120 and 150 incredible value at that price point if you watch my video you'll see how the subwoofer has tons of power bangs out some serious bass check that one out we've also got the Amazon Kindle Fire of course one of the most affordable tablets on the market if you need a tablet and $200 is your price range it's hard to do better right now than the Kindle Fire once again check out that video and lastly for the gamer anybody who's into the Zelda series and specific we're talking about the 3ds Zelda Edition which is still available in some places as I understand it's not going to be available forever it is one of those sort of special combinations retails for $1.99 as I as I know Game Stop is having some promos I don't know if they're still on or not we're if you're trading your older Nintendo and then you might get a significant rebate towards the purchase of that particular combo so look into that under $500 we've got my my new camera my vlogging / casual camera the sony hx5v if you haven't checked out that video yet you'll find out that I'm in love with this camera for a number of reasons incredible image stabilization whether it be for stills and especially in video it also shoots 1080p it's got a wide-angle lens which which is unusual for these style of cameras at least this wide and a number of other features that are unique in that category so definitely check out that camera if you're looking for a camera the PlayStation 3d display obviously is a big hit it's not the best display in the world but it is affordable it integrates incredibly well with your Playstation or Xbox it's got that new feature for the you know the split screen gaming where you don't see what the other individual is doing so it's great for versus mode and the only downside of it as I mentioned in the in the unboxing was no remote but I have heard that the latest PlayStation 3 remote will function with the television so in that in that sense yes it sucks you have to pay a little bit more but the functionality should be accessible one more thing we've got is the modern warfare 3 console pack where you get the special edition console the game controllers etc I really like the design of the modern warfare 3 console even more so than the Gears of War 3 one which I've unboxed both it's it's subtle it's not like it's not overpowering or overwhelming it's got a nice sort of increased appearance improved in appearance I should say from the standard edition console but that's a subjective thing that's my opinion the last category the money ain't a thing category and this is obviously for those of you where money anything where you got the fat wallets etc the first one I'm gonna say is a MacBook Air you guys know I use a MacBook Pro for most of my editing but the MacBook Air for 99% of the population is more than powerful enough I mean obviously not for gaming and you know specific tasks like that but for most productivity it's incredibly asked considering its size and wage that great battery life I really can't say enough about about it great screen high resolution for a 13-inch if you do get the 13-inch model anyway I'll show you the unboxings down below in the links of course the Galaxy Tab 10 one you guys can see I'm using an iPad 2 right now but I actually probably use the Galaxy Tab 10 one more often than the iPad or at least the same amount this one sort of gets used by the family more I'd say but anyways the Galaxy Tab 10 one and and if you're an Apple fan or an iPad fan iPad 2 still is great of course fast does everything you want it to do etc and then lastly a product the only product I've mentioned that I haven't unboxed the Galaxy Nexus which supposedly I'm getting tomorrow we'll see if that's true I know it hasn't officially launched yet but supposedly I'm gonna get one some more we'll see if that works out if so that unboxing will be up tomorrow so stay tuned for that anyway guys I hope you enjoyed this holiday god I hope it in
