Shopping for Christmas presents can be a lot of fun. It’s all about spreading that festive cheer and anticipating all the happy faces on Christmas morning. But, understanding, holiday shopping can also be a very stressful time of year, especially if you don’t know what to get the people on your list. And so, it is with that in mind that I present to you the BTR holiday gift guide for 2019. Hopefully these gift ideas will point you in a good direction.
Roku Streaming Stick+
I’ve been a fan of Roku for some time now. And the newest version of the Roku Streaming Stick+ has been my best experience yet. It supports 4K/HDR, boasts 4x the wireless range, and completely hides away behind your TV. It also comes with an advanced voice remote, complete with the ability to control the power and volume on your TV.
There’s no better way to enjoy Disney+, Netflix, or hundreds of other streaming options. Including the completely free Roku Channel!

The Office: The Complete Series
So, you may have heard by now that NBCUniversal will be pulling The Office from Netflix in favor of their upcoming Peacock streaming service. If you can’t get enough of Michael Scott, Dwight Shrute, Kelly Kapoor, and the rest of the Scranton office, you should invest in this DVD box set with all 201 episodes, plus over 15 hours of deleted scenes.

Shifu Orboot AR Globe for Kids
I’ve got a push-pin map in my office. Addie has recently gotten very interested in where places are in the world — she’s definitely picked up on our travel bug — so I usually point them out to her on the map. I also had to point out to her that the map is flat, but the Earth is round.
Wouldn’t it be so much cooler if I could not only show her on a globe, but on one with augmented reality too? That’s exactly what you get with the Shifu Orboot, and if we’re being honest, I kind of want one for myself. There’s also a version with a metal finish for $10 more.
Super Mario Maker 2 (Nintendo Switch)
The Nintendo Switch continues to be a hot item for gamers of all ages. And then there’s the more affordable Switch Lite. If the person on your “nice” list already has the system, Super Mario Maker 2 is a great option. You get all that classic Mario platforming, plus the ability to design your own custom stages. I’ve also been enjoying Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, if the gamer is more interested in that sort of thing.

Frozen 2 Elsa Musical Doll
I don’t need to tell you that Frozen II is kind of a big deal. And it will be a very popular theme among many holiday wish lists this year. Many kids would be thrilled to find this Elsa musical doll under the Christmas tree. The Queen of Arendelle sings “Into the Unknown” from the movie, plus 14 film phrases. Now, if only I could find a singing Oaken doll. Where’s my summer blowout? 😉
Zojirushi Stainless Lock-Top Travel Mug
For a time, the Contigo travel mugs I found at Costco were the be-all and end-all of coffee on the go for me. Over time, though, I found the inner workings of the Contigo to be increasingly challenging to keep clean. But, I still wanted one-handed operation without having to screw a cap on and off. Something like the Zojirushi SM-KC48 travel mug really fits the bill and it comes from a very trusted name too. Perfect for coffee and tea drinkers alike.

Star Wars: The Black Series Collection
Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope debuted in theaters way back in 1977. And here, 42 years later in 2019, we’re getting ready to wrap up the Skywalker saga with Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. Celebrate the occasion with this epic collection of intricately detailed figures. In addition to Kylo Ren, Rey, and a Sith Trooper, The Black Series collection also comes with The Mandalorian. This is the way. I have spoken.
Lenovo 300e Chromebook
I don’t know what took me so long to get a Chromebook. (I’m actually typing on it right now.) These super affordable laptops will cover 98% of what most people will want to do on their computers, since just about everything either happens within a web browser or is available as an Android app. The Lenovo 300e in particular features a 360-hinge, a ruggedized design, a touchscreen display, and 10+ hour battery life. I love it.

Baby Groot Planter Pot
My thumb is about as opposite from green as it gets. But, if you’ve got someone on your Christmas shopping list who not only loves plants, but also adorable living alien trees, then it really doesn’t get any cuter than this. The Baby Groot Planter Pot is great for flowers, succulents, and even bonsai trees! And look! He’s even holding a little bird’s nest!
