Published by Anita

Creating gift guides are a hell of a ton of work. Even though I’m finally completed the I want – I got Holiday Gift Guides for 2016, Best Buy managed to convince me to partner up and show you some I want – I got approved options for gifting this season. Best Buy is the place where all my electronic gear dreams come true. GoPro HERO5 Black Waterproof 4K Sports & Helmet Camera I’m obsessed with GoPros. Every time I’m in Whistler, I wish I had one strapped to me. I’m not doing anything really worth watching again but I’d really love the chance to share my adventures from my perspective. This one is 4K capable and waterproof. Perfect for Whistler and Barbados. Motorola Moto 360 42mm Women’s Smartwatch with Heart Rate Monitor I love, love, love my Motorola 360. It looks like a regular watch but does all the cool shit you want from a wearable device! DJI Phantom 4 Quadcopter Drone with Camera & Controller My obsession with drones outpaces GoPros. Again, I’m …
