Hubby and I are total tech geeks. We are lucky enough to live near the Mall of America and an awesome Verizon Destination store.

There are great smart stores and destination stores all across the country, so whether there is one near you, or near family you are visiting, you can grab those last minute Christmas gifts that will make the whole family happy! Trust me on that one!
Every time we go to the Mall of America, we stop in the Verizon store because it’s so much more than a store. It’s an experience. They are always coming out with bigger and better technology that adds value to your life. They don’t just sell tech for tech sake, they have tons of technology products that really make your life easier whether it’s getting fit, jamming to your favorite music, keeping your home safe, or just having a little fun.
When Verizon reached out to me to show me some of their favorite Christmas gift ideas, I was super excited. I’ve been in their store so many times, but this time I would get an awesome tour to find out all the cool things the store offers. There is SO much in the store that it’s easy to miss some really awesome things.
Each of the destination stores is broken up into different lifestyle zones: Get Fit, Amplify It, Home and On the Go, Have Fun, Anywhere Business and Customize It. They all have great technology that you wonder how you have been living without it for so long!

9 Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas for Tech Lovers!

I totally fell in love with this speaker, and may or may not have subtly hinted to the husband about getting it for me for the holidays. Plus, they come in a lot of cool colors!
Beats Solo2Wireless On-Ear Headphones: Beats are the hottest item for the music lover this year. Their sound is like no other, and these wireless headphones are no exception. If you have a music lover, or a budding DJ, they are sure to love you forever if these bad boys end up in their stocking.
Fitbit Charge Wireless Activity Wristband: Fitbit is a great way to help someone who wants to stay active. It monitors the steps you take and even your sleep patterns to make sure you are staying rested. You can also buy extra bands to customize your color!
Mophie Powerstation 4000: Ever been on the go and have your phone and accessories run out of batteries? Mophie is here to save the day. I’ve had a Mophie portable charger for years now and LOVE it, not sure what I would do without it. This item is a great stocking stuffer, and pairs well with any other tech goodies you might be gifting this year.
Mophie Powerstation plus 8x with Micro USB or Lightning: This Mophie Powerstation is like the 4000 but even better! It has an additional cable in the unit that neatly tucks away when not in use. When you need it, it lets you charge more than one device at a time with 8x the charging speed!
Nest Cam WiFi Video Camera: Nest is the hottest technology for your home. They have thermostats that regulate themselves, and this awesome WiFi Camera! The Nest Cam keeps your home safe when you aren’t home. This security system sends you alerts for motion or sound even when you are away from home.
Parrot AR Drone 2.0 Elite Edition: Drone are the latest rage right now. Whether you are trying to use the cameras to film a fun angle for a YouTube video, or just enjoy flying, drones are sure to bring a whole lot of fun to your life.
Hum: Hum is an awesome new product that will help keep you safe when you drive. It’s a great program that monitors your car, and tells you what’s going on if you get some alerts, like that lovely check engine light. It even offers 24/7 roadside assistance and offers hands free calling when paired up with your cell phone! This is something that I am going to give my 16 year old daughter, so that I know she is safe when she is driving.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge: What’s a tech gift list without at least one cell phone on it. If you are looking for a great cell phone to give this year, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is it. It has amazing Android based apps available. The Edge allows you to check alerts and text messages without picking up your phone. That means you can stay connected while enjoying the company you are with in person! It’s a great device! Plus, if you have a phone to trade in you can save some big bucks. It’s super easy to trade too!
Now that you have your last minute Christmas gift ideas, make sure your loved ones know that Verizon also has wireless workshops. They are free classes to help them learn how to use their new devices and accessories! They even have a fun class called Capture It to help them learn how to take amazing photos! Even though I’d been in the store several times, I didn’t know they offered these cool classes. It’s a great way to get more comfortable with the phones and accessories you gift, or are gifted this year!
