Kick Off To The Holiday Shopping Season

Black Friday is here and the holiday shopping season has begun. Do you have all the gift ideas ready to purchase for your loved ones? If you don't, you are not alone.

To kick off the holiday season, Daily Lounge contributor and former contestant on ABC's The Bachelorette, Bob Guiney, joins me with some of his favorite deals for you to check out.

Hi Bob. How are you today?

I'm wonderful. Thanks. How are you?

I'm just wonderful. So now that the holiday shopping season had begun, and what are some of the great deals that are sure to start the season?

That's right. I've got some wonderful ideas here and the best tech for your list. Black Friday is just the start of the shopping season, and we want to make sure we are ready for keeping an eye on those great deals. Now Brynn, have you ever dropped your phone? Of course, who hasn't? There is now a new cell phone out there called the Droid Turbo 2 by Motorola. It is the world's first shatterproof device and is available exclusively at Verizon.

It has a special shatter shield that guarantees the screen won't crack or shatter after an accidental drop. It's amazing! Plus, you can get up to 48 hours of battery life with this phone. All you need to do is plug in the turbo power charger and you can get just 13 hours of batter life in only 15 minutes. You can also personalize this phone with over 1,000 design combinations. The best part about this gift is you can save a few bucks with free overnight shipping throughout December. It's perfect for the holidays.

And that definitely is great for those who get insurance because they often dropped their phones or even those people who forgot to get insurance and have to live with a shattered phone until they are ready to upgrade to the next thing.

Ugh, yes it's the worst. Now I don't know about you, but I'm on a big health kick right now. So for the fitness enthusiasts in your life, we have the Fitbit Charge Wireless Activity Wristband. This is awesome. It will actively track your steps taken, your distance covered, calories burned, and sleep patterns. You can even log your meals and scan your bar codes on food labels to estimate calories. It has a beautiful, bright display for your stats, the time, and even a caller id. This is great because it's compatible with over 60 smart phones so you can wirelessly sync your stats to see your progress on the go. I'm getting myself in shape this year and it's definitely one of my stocking stuffers to myself. I'm very excited about that.

Now I don't know about you, but this is the time to make the season bright. And this next item, I think you should actually get me this Brynn. It's Samsung's Flagship 4KSU HD Curve Smart TV. It's 65-inches and is the best, brightest, and most colorful TV ever. This is key because most of us like to watch TV in the dark. You and your family can experience true 4KSU HD resolution which is 4 times the resolution of your regular high-definition TVs. The 4K content is absolutely stunning. You will notice that even regular HD content will look even more brilliant and sharp thanks to Samsung's advanced and upscaling technology. It has a curved design that will make every seat in the house, the best seat in the house. The smart TV platform makes it super easy for streaming live TV, videos, and other apps. The picture is unbelievable brilliant on this and I love it. So I think you should get it for me.

Well, maybe!! It definitely sounds like a TV for really anything you want to watch. Whether it's your typical cable channels or things like movies, Netflix, Youtube, or even for those gamers that enjoy having a crystal clear picture with their video games.

Yes absolutely. Really anything you can put on a TV. Now speaking of TV, you can finally stop paying for TV while still getting all our major networks out there like ABC, NBC, and FOX by using the Flatwire Amped Antenna from Wineguard. This allows you to have your favorite shows and sporting events that are available over the air and you can have them in full high-definition for free. You actually can also get a better picture because it's not compressed by cable. It's super easy to connect. All you have to do is find the best reception scan and then you are ready to watch TV. It's really an awesome feature for people who don't want to have cable or Direct TV or anything like that.

Last but not least is the hot gift for kids. The IO Hawk is actually an innovation in the way that we move. It's so awesome. It's a self-balancing board that motors along at about six miles an hour...a good speed for kids and parents to agree on. Now there are a lot of knockoffs out there but what makes this unique is that it's in line with ADA requirements. It has advanced software called the Accelerameter to control the speed so that it will slow for corners and won't through you off. It moves based on subtle pressure from your feet and your body. Now for anyone reading this, if you use the code “KELLY1400”, then you can get $400 off at www.iohawk.com.

This all sounds like something to help people save a little bit of money this holiday season as they are looking for perfect gifts to give their loved ones. Now where can people go for more information about everything we talked about today?
