Love Me, Love My Tech Christmas Gift Guide

December 12, 2016 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

{This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Amazon and #WeAllGrow Latina Network. The opinions and text are all my own.}

It’s no secret that I’m a lover of all things Cuban. But did you further know that I’m a lover of all kinds of techie devices? 

My daughter, Lucy just moved to Austin and we were able to text with her and Jonathan during their entire drive across three states, with a highlight being a stop in Arizona at the Grand Canyon. While they were there, at the Grand Canyon (!) we were able to talk to them live and share thidee moment with them.

Come on! This is why God invented tech. For those very delicious moments that could not happen in any other context. What a glorious time to be alive. 

Which brings me to today’s Christmas Gift Guide: a celebration of the fabulous devices available from Amazon.com.

My mom always used to joke that I needed to be reading something all the time. Even if it was the back of the cereal box at the breakfast table, I had to be reading. I still do this, but that’s not important right now.

What’s cool to me is that my kids are absolutely the same. I like to think it was because they were homeschooled and I taught them to love to learn, or maybe it’s just something that’s in their DNA, but that’s not important right now. 

Back to my Amazon Gift Guide,  I have got a great list of devices for the bibliophiles in your family. (You can thank me later.) 

Amazon offers a wonderful list of devices that make great gifts for the English and Spanish speakers in your family. Easy to use, without too much of a learning curve. Your Tia Cuca will love you for it. 

There are so many to choose from:

  • Fire Tablet
  • Kindle Paperwhite
  • Kindle Voyage
  • Amazon Fire TV
  • Fire HD 8
  • Fire Kids Edition Tablet
  • Kindle
  • Fire TV Stick

Also, there are over 185,000 Spanish language eBooks available in Tienda Kindle. How very cool is that?

Today I want to highlight the two devices that have completely captured my heart and would make excellent gifts for anyone on your list. 

1 – The Kindle Paperwhite E-Reader 

Black, 6″, with a high resolution display, built-in light and Wi-Fi. It can store thousands of books. Can you just hear me squealing with joy?

It’s the most popular and best selling Kindle for a reason. Absolutely No. Screen. Glare. Even in bright sunlight. I’m seriously in love with it. The hi-resolution is amazing and you can comfortably change up the font size to customize it to your own reading style.

This one also has a touch screen which makes me deliriously happy. Thank you, Amazon. 

With it’s awesome super-long battery life, I can read for hours and hours. And, of course, I do.

2- The Fire Tablet

I am finding that I can do almost everything with this tablet. The perfect hand-held 7″ size with a beautiful IPS display, fast quad-core processor. I know. Stop the tech-talk and tell me what it all means.

It means I can send emails, browse Pinterest, watch movies and TV shows, read books, download games and take all of this with me wherever I go, which makes it the perfect device for travel. 

Plus it’s got a camera. So Skyping with Asher is also possible.Yes, please. How can you not love this device?

Okay, tell me: Who else besides me is watching The Crown on Netflix? With this sweet, sweet tablet, The Crown goes with me wherever I want – in high resolution, of course. 

I know these are all great reasons to give this beauty to your favorite Tia for Christmas. But there’s also shopping. Tell me you totally know about the joys of online shopping. *insert angelic chorus here*

People, the awesomeness of this device knows no bounds. That, and Amazon Black Friday deals run through December 22nd. #winning

And yes, I’m obviously still a very big fan of reading at the breakfast table. (Shut up. I know.) 

Feliz Navidad!
