How to Create a Gift Wish List for Birthdays

Gift Giving


 Who hasn't known first-hand the frustration of finding the perfect gift to give for a birthday or other special occasion? For sure I have stressed out over this more times than I should probably admit since my family and friends know how much I love to give unforgettable presents and think it's a breeze for me to go shopping for them.


MBE partnered with Best Buy for this post

Ironically, the opposite is true -- I've actually found it increasingly difficult to find those ideal gifts for the special people in my life in a world where gift cards are the norm. So I couldn't be more excited to share with you how Best Buy makes it simple and easy to not only create and manage a gift wish list but to also shop for the perfect gifts for others.


Gift Ideas


 To get started, all you have to do is visit the Best Buy Gift Ideas page. Here you'll find an abundance of inspiration to easily help you find the perfect birthday gift for everyone on your list. Everything on the site is super organized with a rainbow assortment of birthday gift idea lists tailored to Him, Her, Kids and Teens. 

 For the tech lovers in your life there's even the Best Buy Top Tech Gifts List to point you in the right direction. Something else I really like about this free online service is you can search for gifts in different price ranges: Gifts under $25, Gifts $25-$49.99, Gifts from $50-$99.99, Gifts from $100-$249.99 and Gifts $250 & over.

 I know I mentioned earlier in this post that I think gift cards are the modern day easy-way-out to gift giving. So I should clarify that gift cards don't have to be the default gift every time with so many great gift choices to inspire you. But don't get me wrong, there are going to be occasions when there could be nothing better than giving a gift card that will be truly appreciated. With that in mind it's good to know you also have the option to buy a Best Buy gift card that can be physically mailed to the recipient or you can request an e-giftcard that will be delivered instantaneously to the birthday boy or girl via email.

Wish List


 To help you out with gift giving encourage your family and friends to visit Best Buy online and set up their own Birthday Gift Wish List and then share it so you can get them just what they want. And while we're on the subject, though you may always be thinking about gifting others, don't forget to create, manage and share your very own Birthday Gift Wish List with those you are close to so they'll have some hints about what you'd most like to receive.

 Just think: once you've tapped into Best Buy for their great gift ideas and Wish List program, you'll never be at a loss about what to buy for everyone on your birthday shopping list.
We Only Celebrate Each Birthday Once...

SanDisk Memory Back To School Best Buy Source For Memory Cards for Kids Academic Success


Back to School




The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free

#SanDisk

 It's August which means parents across the U.S. are already (or will soon be) in high gear gathering all the tools and supplies our kids need to learn successfully in the coming school year. Whether your kids are in Elementary School, Middle School, High School or in College, like mine will be, making sure they're prepared is essential. Among the things you'll no doubt be doing are helping them shop and purchase back to school consumer electronics and of course memory cards for maximum functionality of their myriad of devices.

 Best Buy is the place to find just the right SanDisk memory cards for safe storage of data and images on just about any device each member of your family needs, including your kids. I know that Best Buy is usually the first and only place my kids and I go to when we need storage. 

 In fact, within the last year alone we've bought SanDisk memory cards and USB flash drives there for our family's Go Pro HERO, my budding photographer daughter's DSLR camera, my other daughter's smartphone, both my sons' Lenovo Yoga laptops, and for the tablets my hubbie and I rely on. All of the kids' devices with their expanded memory capacities, incidentally, were used at school for everything from filming a field trip to shooting pictures for the school newspaper to composing an engineering poster for a summer internship and much more.

For sure, I can't imagine not having memory storage solutions that we can consistently rely on. However, especially if you're not tech savvy, it can be a bit overwhelming to figure out exactly what your child needs. Luckily there's the SanDisk store page on Best Buy's site that makes it easy to learn which memory card is the right one to choose.

 10 SanDisk Memory Card Categories are available at Best Buy
  • Point and Shoot Cameras
  • Action Cameras
  • Action Camcorders
  • DSLR Cameras
  • Pro DSLR Cameras
  • Tablets
  • PCs and Laptops
  • MP3 Players
  • Wireless Flashdrives
  • Mobile Phones

 For Still and Video Cameras
From professional-grade camera memory to point-and-shoot SD cards to microSD cards SanDisk products perform and are reliable in helping photographers to get the speed they need to capture the perfect shot. On top of that, SanDisk SD cards are built with the security, capacity, performance and environmental requirements of next generation devices. The brand's memory cards also make it possible to capture fast action recording more 4K Ultra HD and Full HD video along with transfer speeds up to 60MBs for smartphones, tablets and action cameras. For DSLR cameras and camcorders they're also 10 times faster than ordinary cards and make transfer speeds of up to 80MBs possible.

 For Smartphones and Tablets
SanDisk microSD cards also give smartphones and tablets a boost with a more responsive camera function and smoother media playback. And the beauty is that whether you or your kids want more storage for your phone or a card that simplifies the ability to shoot high resolution on the go, either of you have the option of adding fast, reliable data storage ranging in capacity from 4GB to 200GB.

As the mom of four kids born within a year including triplets that will all be in college for the first time at the same time this coming school year, I want to make sure that they all have what they need to succeed as they move on to higher education. My personal experience has been that no matter what we need in the data storage arena, Best Buy has always been there with the right SanDisk solution. With options like these you and I can look forward to a worry-free and easy transition for our students as we move forward into another school year.

 About Best Buy
Best Buy is your destination for the full line of SanDisk memory cards and USB flash drives for Back to School shopping and year round. For more information visit BestBuy.com as well as follow @SanDisk and @BestBuy and the hashtag #SanDisk on Twitter.
