Well, ‘tis the season again. Get ready to jump into an Internet rabbit hole and emerge into the cold holiday season of consumerism. That’s right, Xmas is right around the corner. While you are shopping for new material goods for your friends and loved ones, you may want to consider grabbing the following:
1) GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (BLU-RAY)
The top-grossing and best movie of the year is the perfect gift for anyone and everyone who enjoys movies. Yes, it’s a Marvel film, but it is not about a band of superheroes. Instead, it follows a group of misfits who travel the cosmos and, ultimately, band together to save it. Need three words to convince yourself to pick this up? How about this: I am Groot! ($25)
2) PLAYSTATION 4
The console wars have begun anew since the release of the next generation game systems. All the systems have their lists of pros and cons, but the PS4, at least at the moment, is the top contender for your attention. Get this console, grab some games, and start kicking the asses of next-gen players. ($400)
3) TICKETS FOR WRESTLEMANIA XXXI
Every year, Wrestlemania grows larger and becomes more intense, extreme, and epic. Tickets for the next wrestling megaevent are now on sale, and if this year is any indicator of how awesome ‘Mania will be for next, then we are all in for a hell of a ride. ($35 to $1,000)
4) ALIENWARE 18
The ultimate gaming laptop comes in this sweet, great-looking package. With an i7 core processor, dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 800M graphics cards, and 18 GB of RAM, this computer is an absolute powerhouse. (Starting at $2,099)
5) DOCTOR WHO TARDIS MINI-REFRIGERATOR
It’s time to travel in space and time… Or just keep your drinks cold while you nerd-out to the upcoming Xmas episode of Doctor Who. Who wouldn’t want a miniature TARDIS in their house? ($75)
6) REMY MARTIN LOUIS XIII BLACK PEARL COGNAC
For the big spenders out there who want to drink something that screams “high society.” This drink promises to have the taste of “a century in a bottle,” whatever that means. But for the price, it has to taste mind-blowingly amazing. ($34,000)
7) DJI INSPIRE 1 DRONE
See what all the fuss is about and take to the skies. DJI has a 4K camera and 12-megapixel still photo capture capability. Oh yeah, and it flies. ($2,900)
8) SUPER SMASH BROS. (WII U)
Everyone loves this franchise. It constantly answers the age-old questions of “What would happen if ___ and ___ fight each other?” Also, the game is simply fun as hell. Pick it up, have your friends come over, and spend the next few hours throwing down on this game. ($60)
9) BREITLING CHRONOSPACE MILITARY WATCH
Deep down this is a SuperQuartz chronograph caliber that’s much more accurate than ordinary quartz movement watches. It’s rugged and refined. ($6,800)
10) GALAXY NOTE 4
Yes, it’s a big phone, but it’s a fantastic one. With a marketplace saturated with “revolutionary” smart phones, this one eclipses them all with multi-function capabilities, a long-lasting battery life, high resolution display, and the most powerful processor packed in a phone. ($836 w/o contract)
11) SONY 70” 4K ULTRA HD TV
It’s a bit pricy, but damn, this is one giant television. It has 2160p resolution, web browsing and 3D capabilities, a host of applications, and more. Pair this up with Guardians of the Galaxy for some true fun! ($3,500)
12) BREAKING BAD SPECIAL EDITION BOX SET
This lovely Blu-ray box set not only includes the entire, incredible series of Breaking Bad, but also comes with unique swag, bonus features, and more. Oh, and it comes inside of a barrel. How cool is that? ($275)
13) MORGAN 3 WHEELER
Truly one of the coolest and most unique cars on the planet, it’s just waiting for you to take it on a spin down 635. Better bring a jacket ($40,000)
