Getting started on your shopping list
With the festive season firmly upon us we feature a new column this month with suggestions to help get you started on your shopping list. With many online platforms out there getting your list done has never been easier. Read on for some gift ideas.
This week’s picks are for the tech and music geeks in your life, no doubt these picks are bound to get you on the nice list this year.
Make merry with some wireless/bluetooth speakers
We’re long past the age of bulky stereo systems and on to wireless/Bluetooth speakers and sleek minimalistic sets that do it all. Urban.lk gives you a selection of speakers including Marshall and JBL, which come packed with power and a range of cool features. We were intrigued by the JBL Flip 5 speaker at Rs. 22,799, which is waterproof and is perfect for that poolside party. The Marshall Kilburn II for Rs.56,199 on the other hand also offers 20+ hours of portable playtime on a single charge.
The Panasonic Audio System Sound Bar is another great option from Catchme.lk, with it’s easy portability and playback capabilities that include USB, CD, radio and via Bluetooth.
Fa la la la with some vinyl records
speakers and accessories to the wide selection of records both classic and new — it’s hard to know where to begin. Browse Zepplin.lk’s catalogue on their website, or contact Shehan on 077 748 8144 to inquire about his range of records.
As a great starting point, may we suggest a classic compilation album of Queen’s Greatest Hits for Rs.
8,250 at Zepplin.lk?
‘Tis the season to get healthy? perhaps ?
For the fitness buffs, the Xiaomi Mi Band 3 at Rs. 4,999 from Wow.lk is a smart choice, and is compatible with both Android and Apple iOS.
Though there are plenty of local stores that offer delivery and in store pick up, international sites like eBay.com and AliExpress.com also offer good options if you’re willing to wait for the gifts to arrive.
Treasure the memories of the old year with personalised gifts
If you feel like deviating from traditional gifts and want to make it more personal, like printed cushions or engraved phone/laptop cases, Anim8.lk is the perfect place for all your printing needs. You can choose from a variety of items they offer in house, or bring in your own and work with their designers to come up with a truly unique design.
