What is the most requested gift this holiday season? Gift cards. A majority love them but I think they’re terrible gifts. Terrible in that they scream the giver didn’t take the time to put any thought into what they were getting you. If it’s the thought that counts, gift cards are worth pennies on the dollar. This isn’t true for…
If your child still hasn’t had a chance to sit on Santa’s lap this year, don’t worry. There’s still time left. Of course, you may not want to fight mall traffic on Christmas eve, so what can you do? Pick up your phone and talk to him face-to-face. Well, sort of. Several companies are offering children the opportunity to do…
One of the most important things you should do with those online Christmas presents is to change the passwords. Amazon is warning Ring doorbell users to change passwords immediately and Facebook just confirmed many users had some of their login credentials leaked. There are easy ways to change your passwords to something that you can remember but that are hard…

They’ll run to the tree, tear open all the presents and then if you’re fortunate, they’ll play with some of the toys for hours.

Christmas stockings may be a holiday tradition but they don’t often get filled with anything that’s all that exciting. I grew up with stockings filled with oranges, apples and maybe a book of Lifesavers. These days I like slipping some important and useful gifts in my kids’ Christmas stockings, just to make sure they pay attention. These tech gadgets are…
Dads can geek out a bit when it comes to tech gadgets. Trust me. The truth though is it doesn’t always mean it’s easy to find him a gadget he can use. I thought I’d round up some products dad might not have already but would certainly use. Even if dad isn’t a weekend warrior, a GoPro is a good…
Typically, women are not as interested in tech gadgets as men, that’s great news if you’re looking for a gift they can use. They may not have these tech gadgets but they most certainly can use them. A smartwatch isn’t just for geeky people anymore. Mom can track her fitness, health, send and receive text messages and emails and even…
Got someone on your shopping list this year who’s impossible to buy for? Before you pick up another sweater or (shudder) a gift card, think of all the things you can do with music.
