10 Holiday Gifts for Tech Lovers
You won’t find a $78 Blu-ray player on this HTSA-approved electronics gift list.
Shopping list includes LG’s BD390 Blu-ray player with Vudu streaming and other step-up options over retailers’ rock-bottom deals.
CE pros don’t generally experience the holiday shopping bump that retailers do.
They can’t compete with Walmart and its $78 Blu-ray player deals. Nor should they try to, according to the Home Theater Specialists of America (HTSA).
The 59-member buying group wants CE pros to carve out their own holiday shopping niche and it has issued an electronics holiday shopping list for “the tech obsessed.”
You won’t find any $78 deals. Prices begin at $300 and go up very, very high, but at least they’re HTSA-approved.
Of course, the buying group’s list isn’t completely objective. Each product comes from an HTSA vendor partner. But, with 42 vendor partners, it’s a wide field. But we’ve narrowed it down to our 10 favorite.
