The Top Consumer Electronics for Giving and Receiving
Shopping for a technology lover? Check out these amazing home consumer electronics
In this day and age of home consumer electronics, it's difficult to pinpoint the top five -- but we've come as close as you'll get! When gift shopping for someone with a major love of technology (even if that someone is yourself), definitely check out these items.
1. 3G cellular phones
By far the most popular item on our list of top consumer electronics is the 3G cellular phone. Better known as a smart phone. We're talking Google Phone, Blackberry, and iPhone here. You have to live under a rock not to know those names already, so it's probably not a big surprise to find them at the top of our must-have consumer electronics list.
2. Blu-ray players
Blu-ray players haven't replaced DVDs as quickly as DVDs replaced VHS tapes, but they're on their way! A Blu-ray's improved quality and crystal clear image are similar to HDTV, and just about anyone would love it as a gift.
3. Video game systems
The three big names in video game systems remain the same: Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony. Which is to say, the Xbox 360, the Nintendo Wii, and the Sony Playstation 3. You might be surprised to find video game consoles on a list of the top consumer electronics, but the fastest growing demographic for video games is forty-year-old men! These aren't kids' toys anymore.
4. GPS Navigation Systems
If you've ever been lost in a strange city, this one requires no explanation. It's no wonder that GPS navigation systems top the list of most beloved home consumer electronics.
5. E-book readers
Last but not least, e-book readers, such as Amazon's Kindle, have enjoyed a huge surge in popularity over the last few years. In our electronic age, many people prefer to read books without having to deal with the physical book itself. Electronic books don't require storage, are less expensive than their counterparts, and stand poised to take over the industry.
So there you have it: the top consumer electronics to give and get
