Best PS5 Gifts For 2020: PlayStation Gift Ideas, Games, And More

December 2, 2020 [email protected]_84 games, Gift, gifts, ideas, PlayStation, PS5

The PlayStation 5 released in November, kicking off a new generation of gaming for PlayStation fans. The PS5 launch included an exciting lineup of titles like Demon’s Souls and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, but it was also marked by a disappointing lack of stock available at retailers. Unless you were someone who preordered as soon as listings went live in September, you’ve pretty much been out of luck the past few months. There have been PS5 restocks, including ones on launch day and Black Friday, but those have been prone to site crashes and quick sellout. We’ve included the PS5 as part of our PlayStation gift guide this year as Sony has promised more PS5 inventory will be sent to retailers before the end of the year, but just keep in mind you may have trouble buying the new console. (See our PS5 restock guide for more details.)

However, you may also be shopping for someone who was lucky enough to buy a PS5 and has happily been playing it for the past month or so. Maybe your PlayStation fan is satisfied to keep gaming on their PS4 for the time being. Either way, you might be wondering what to gift them this year, and to help you out, we’ve rounded up the best PlayStation gifts for 2020. Naturally, the PS5 is on this list, but there’s no shortage of games, accessories, collectibles, and merchandise available as well.

This holiday season is absolutely packed with huge PS4 and PS5 games, and there are plenty of new figures, art books, and more for gamers to add to their collection. Marquee titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Cyberpunk 2077, and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla join the vast library of great PlayStation games along with gems from earlier this year like The Last of Us Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, and Final Fantasy VII Remake.

$500

At the top of our list, of course, is this year’s brand-new PlayStation console: the PS5. Unless you preordered the PS5 when listings first went live in mid-September, you may have a hard time getting your hands on the console in time for the holidays–all major retailers are currently out of PS5 stock, and restocks always sell out within minutes. Still, Sony has promised more inventory will be sent to retailers in the near future, so keep an eye on retailer listings for a chance at buying the console.

The PS5 has a handful of exciting exclusives available already–such as Demon’s Souls, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Sackboy: A Big Adventure–and thankfully, it’s able to play the vast majority of PS4 games as well. In addition, many games are releasing on both PS4 and PS5 this holiday season, with most new PS4 games featuring free next-gen upgrades–that

Police provide tips to keep Christmas gifts protected from porch pirates

Shoppers this holiday season have more than just COVID-19 to worry about.

This year, due to the increase in online shopping, the Memorial Village Police Department is expecting a significant increase in the number of packages stolen from front porches.

On HoustonChronicle.com: Houston surgeon paralyzed in bike fall donates $1.1M to paralysis research

According to MVPD Chief of Police Ray Schultz, even though the Texas Legislature increased the penalty for stealing packages last year, criminals are still going to be on the lookout due to the struggling economy.

“Almost every night we’re going out right at dusk and driving the neighborhoods and moving packages,” said Schultz. “There was one-day last week that we moved packages from the front porches of five houses that were right next to each other, each one of them had a pretty significant number of deliveries that were sitting out there as it was getting dark.”

Mail theft will also continue to be a problem during the holiday season. Criminals who steal mail often look for personal information on the resident to file fraudulent claims, such as unemployment assistance from the Texas Workforce Commission. Schultz said residents should check and retrieve their mail daily.

Shopping in store

For in-person shoppers this season, residents should take extra precautions to keep bags in their car out of plain view while they shop and always lock their car doors, Schultz added.

“We continue to have things being taken out of cars that people are failing to lock,” said Schultz, “including in their own driveway or in their own backyard.”

According to Schultz, criminals will go up and down residential streets and check hundreds of car doors to see if they are unlocked. They look through glove boxes and center consoles to find electronics, high-end sunglasses, gift cards, purses, and wallets.

“This is a good time for everyone to take inventory of their purses and wallets,” said Schultz. “Only carry the credit cards that you’re actually using, make sure you know what cards you have with account numbers and emergency phone numbers so should a card be lost or stolen or misplaced it can quickly be deactivated.”

Schultz also wants residents to be aware of potential “sliders”- criminals that slip into vehicles and take things when people are busy doing something else. The most common instances of sliders happen when people are filling up their car with gas.

“They’re concentrating on the gas pumps and putting gas in their car, especially an SUV when it’s harder to see the passenger side,” said Schultz, “and somebody will sneak up along the side of the car, very gently open the door, reach in, grab a purse or wallet, and just slide it right out of the car and take off.”

MVPD feels more prepared this year due to the implementation of their Automatic License Plate Reader system that captures license plates going in and out of the Villages. The system has

Hawthorne Slip On Words Matter from SeaVees

SeaVees’ Hawthorne slip on is a wardrobe essential in itself so it’s the perfect canvas for an essential message. “Words Matter” is etched all along the foxing, and the classic sneaker has been printed with original redacted government document-inspired artwork by DJ Javier. Available in both men and women’s sizes, each shoe is unique, and the print on the left is slightly different from the print on the right, making it even more of a conversation piece. Because comfort matters, too, the Hawthorne features a contoured, cushy foam footbed with extra heel-strike cushion. Price: $95, with 5% of all proceeds going to the Committee to Protect Journalists, an organization that promotes freedom of the press worldwide and defends the right of journalists to report the news safely and without fear of reprisal.

Someone Somewhere

These multi-tasking bags would be highly desirable for their looks alone but the fact that they’re helping to lift artisans out of poverty in Latin American countries should raise them to the top of your gift list. The Essentials Bag comes with a detachable strap so it can be worn in six different ways, and it’s made with a traditional weaving technique passed down through generations. What makes it really special, though, is the interior label signed by the Someone who crafted it and indicating the Somewhere they call home. Price: $35, with sales increasing the monthly income of artisans in poor Latin American communities by more than 300%.

Jabots for Justice

These beautiful replicas of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s iconic collars are ethically handcrafted by female artisans in Guatemala, through La Casa Cotzal, a partner of Nest, a nonprofit that works with artisans and makers to build a world of greater gender equity and economic inclusion. The stunning beadwork makes for a fitting tribute to the Notorious RBG, and the jabot comes in its own little pouch so you can travel with it and find yourself in fascinating conversations with people around the world. Price: $40, which is a tax-deductible donation to Nest.

The Best Gifts For The Sushi Lover

December 1, 2020 [email protected]_84 gifts, lover, Sushi

If someone loves sushi, chances are they really love sushi. That sushi love is maybe even more than an appreciation of spicy tuna or fresh salmon, but rather the craft of sushi itself.

Making sushi at home can be a great gift for the sushi lover.

getty

Sushi is something of an art and a science, and it’s also delicious. But the country has been in various levels of lockdown for much of this year, meaning the freedom to visit a local sushi spot may have become more fantasy than reality.

A great gift for a sushi lover is to bring that sushi into their own home, with all the ingredients and tools necessary to make it themselves. And, of course, some cute sushi-inspired gifts may be fun to throw in along the way!

Global Grub DIY Sushi Kit

Just add your fish! This fabulous sushi kit ($28) is the ultimate gift for the sushi lover. Inside is everything needed to make up to four dozen pieces of sushi, from the sushi rice, nori, and rice vinegar powder to sesame seeds, wasabi powder, rolling mat, and instructions. Just add your proteins and other fix-ins like avocado or cucumber and dinner will be ready in minutes!

PureFish The Rainbow Box

Of course, a big part of making or eating sushi is the fish. This box ($225) of fresh fish was, appropriately, named after the beloved sushi rainbow roll and includes a total of 16 portions of various fish and shellfish, from Ahi tuna and sustainable salmon to shrimp and scallops. This will provide lots of sushi-making options, but also would work great in a pan or on a grill.

Takamura HSPS Gyuto Knife

“When it comes to gifts for sushi-lovers, there could be no better gift than a Japanese knife,” said Kevin Takarada, Founder of innovative fast-casual sushi restaurant MakiMaki, “I use solely Japanese knives in my sashimi and sushi-making due to their precision and ability to hold a strong edge, but these knives are also very useful in everyday cooking,” A great all-purpose Japanese knife would be the Gyuto, such as this one ($160) from Takamura, as they are thinner and can hold a sharp edge longer. “It is the ultimate tool for any sushi-lover, as it can be used for meat, fish and vegetables. I often recommend the Takamura brand as their knives are reliable, easy to maintain, and priced reasonably,” said Takarada.

MOMA Design Store Rainbow Chopsticks

Perhaps a takeout sushi order wouldn’t get chopsticks quite this fancy, but that’s part of the fun with creating a home version of a takeout favorite! This set includes twelve pairs of reusable wooden chopsticks ($39) in beautiful shades of the rainbow, and is ideal if a group is sharing a sushi dinner together. There’ll be no doubt which set of chopsticks belongs to each person

Christmas shopping: Americans spending slightly more on gifts during pandemic, poll suggests

November 30, 2020 [email protected]_84 Americans, Christmas, gifts, pandemic, poll, shopping, Slightly, Spending, Suggests

‘The New Retail’ Author Michael Zakkour discusses the retail industry expecting to see mass spending on Cyber Monday after a record $9 billion was spent on Black Friday.

Americans are expected to spend slightly more on holiday gifts during the coronavirus pandemic compared to last year.

Consumers will spend an estimated average of $852 on Christmas gifts, $6 more than holiday spending in 2019, when the average was $846, according to a new Gallup poll. And the slight uptick could be part of a trend to make seasons brighter amid rising COVID-19 cases, socially distanced holiday gatherings, and spending time apart from loved ones during the pandemic, the survey suggests.

Americans are spending more money on holiday gifts this year, a new poll suggests. (iStock)

Gallup found that the results are very similar to consumer spending habits in 2019, suggesting that the economic uncertainty of the pandemic isn’t stopping shoppers from splurging during the holidays. Of those polled, 32% of consumers plan to shell out as much as $1,000 or more on holiday gifts, while 21% of Americans estimate they’ll spend between $500 and $999. Only 29% plan on spending between $100 and $499, and 2% say they’ll spend less than $100. (A percentage of respondents were still unsure of their exact budgets.)

What’s more, spending based on income level also remains nearly unchanged compared to last year, the survey found. Currently, those living in households with an annual income of $100,000 or more per year plan to spend an average of $1,291 on gifts. That number drops to $888 among individuals making between $40,000 and $99,999, and down to $516 on spending among people earning less than $40,000.

BLACK FRIDAY HITS RECORD $9B IN US CONSUMER SPENDING

Whether or not Americans decide to budget on gifting could be dependent on another round of stimulus funding. Indeed, separate findings from the new Franklin Templeton-Gallup Economics of Recovery Study published earlier this month found that holiday sales could be bolstered by a new round of federal stimulus checks before the end of the year. More Americans (37%) were more likely to say they’d spend less money on holiday gifts instead of more (16%) without another round of government stimulus funding. However, that number drops to 30% when people were asked how likely they were to spend less on gifts if given the additional $1,200 stimulus.

CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ON FOX BUSINESS

The news comes as Americans gear up for the biggest online sales of the holiday season with Cyber Monday underway. Americans are estimated to spend up to $12.7 billion this year according to Adobe Analytics. And Black Friday sales hit a record $9 billion in the U.S. this year. That number represents nearly 22% year-over-year growth in consumer spending compared to 2019, when Black Friday shoppers spent $7.4 billion, Adobe Analytics found.

The best wellness and self-care gifts of 2020

November 30, 2020 [email protected]_84 gifts, SelfCare, wellness

2020 has been… a challenge—for us, for you, for literally everyone you know and then some. Google Trends reported an all-time high in searches for “self-care” in May, and over the past year, we’ve made it our mission to find wellness services, tools, and products that actually do something. (Reader: We’ve found a lot.)

Self-care is more than just carving out time, it’s finding the things that work for you in the way you need them to. Everyone is bound to have a unique definition of wellness, but for the sake of one less thing to stress over, we’ve rounded up our favorite self-care gifts that should satisfy most names on your holiday checklist.

Theragun Mini
Fast Company named Theragun one of the Most Innovative Wellness Companies of 2020—which proved appropriate, because this year, we’ve needed the company’s products more than ever. This Theragun is mini, but mighty: it delivers 20 lbs of force and can be tucked into your gym bag, purse, or home office desk drawer for whenever you need relief. With 150 minutes of battery life and whisper soft QuietForceTechnology, this science-backed massager is a steal for $199. You might even pick one up for yourself.

Vitruvi Stay Diffuser & Essential Oil Kits
Vitruvi introduced two new diffusers to its family this year: Stay, a long-lasting, large-space diffuser, and Move, the first wireless version. Both designs were inspired by the modern cylindrical candle and provide the same zen-like experience as the original. This holiday season, we love the Stay, a sleek 18-hour diffuser that fragrances up to 700-square-feet. It pairs nicely with the company’s new essential oil kits—Uplift, Unwind, and Reset—each made up of four distinct blends. Fast Co. editor Lara Sorokanich says, “Their blends are indulgent and geared toward times of day. I use Dusk to wind down at night and Grove to get a refreshing pine boost in the morning.”

Brooklinen Weighted Comforter
We test-drove this comforter—which cushions glass microbeads between Brooklinen’s signature soft cotton for evenly distributed pressure—and it proved to be life-changing. Co. Design senior writer Elizabeth Segran reports: “Since I’ve used this blanket I have slept much longer every night—usually more than eight hours. And I’ve woken up feeling more refreshed and productive. It has been a game-changer for me.”

Gravity Blanket
We also tested Gravity Blanket’s micro-fleece weighted blanket, which is designed to be spread out across a queen- or king-sized bed, but also works well on the couch. Chris Allen, Fast Company’s director of editorial video, found the blanket a super relaxing way to unwind after a stressful day.

Parachute Cloud Cotton Robe
Parachute’s Cloud Cotton Robe is oh-so-very-soft, is made from stylishly slouchy Turkish cotton, and comes in gorgeous muted earth tones, as well as, a crisp classic white. Consider this your gift solution to the “but they already have everything” problem. Sure, they might already have a robe, but this one is better.

Giving Tuesday, gifts ideas to help support women’s athletics

November 29, 2020 [email protected]_84 athletics, gifts, Giving, ideas, Support, Tuesday, womens

I’ve never been one to shop early for the holidays, but this year is different for all of us in so many ways.

My daughter will stay in her new home in Los Angeles for the holidays, which is heart-wrenching but the smart and safe thing to do.

No Turkey Trot race together. No Thanksgiving dinner. No excursion to Bob’s Trees in Galway. It also means we have to shop much earlier to be sure everything arrives in plenty of time to celebrate a Zoom Christmas.

So with that on my mind and Giving Tuesday approaching, here’s a list of gifts and donations that help support women and girls in athletics plus charities and foundations that support youth programs.

Albany PAL
During my now-adult son’s years at CBA, his hockey team would volunteer at Lights in the Park, supporting Albany Police Athletic League’s programs. The child care and activities they organize that support young girls and boys in the Albany area are essential — especially during these hard times. There’s no better way for police to foster long-lasting relationships with Albany youth than through PAL. Rummaging through the PAL website, I found that donating to this year’s toy drive is incredibly easy. A list of books, athletic equipment and other items are available for purchase by logging on to the group’s Amazon wish list and the gifts are sent directly to PAL. Visit https://www.albanypal.org for more information.

Pat Summitt Foundation
Shortly after Hall of Fame coach Pat Summitt’s diagnosis in August of 2011, the foundation was formed with a mission to award grants to non-profit organizations that advance research for treatment and cure for Alzheimer’s disease. The foundation website includes many items for sale with proceeds going to help the cause, including “We Back Pat” merchandise, gaiters, facemasks and other Lady Vol items. Go to https://patsummitt.shgstores.com

Boys and Girls Clubs of the Capital Area
Serving Rensselaer and Albany counties, the organization provides childcare, education and sports programs for youth. The Albany and Troy clubs ramped up its food program when the pandemic hit and has developed a fund-raiser that provides a perfect gift for the holidays while supporting a wonderful cause. Donating $40 purchases six meals and in return they will send you a hooded sweatshirt that says “This Sweatshirt Feeds Kids.” A gift of $25 funds four meals and an includes a t-shirt exclaiming “This Shirt Feeds Kids.” So worth it. Donate at https://www.bgccapitalarea.org/feedkids.

Supporting college teams
Go to the College of Saint Rose athletics website and you can order fan cutouts to support student-athletes for sports seasons scheduled to resume this winter and spring. You know, like the cutouts you saw at Major League Baseball games. For many years, I’ve attended numerous women’s soccer, women’s and men’s basketball and men’s lacrosse games. While there, I often found myself donating to a softball team’s raffle or another school fundraiser to support athletic programs. By pledging $100 in the name of one of the college’s sports teams, fans can continue

The Best Gifts For Families That Travel

Family in airport — Families will be eager to hit the road soon. A gift that makes it easier is ideal.

Everyone had to stay home a lot more this year, but families faced some extra challenges balancing work and school in the house. This was particularly hard for those households who love to hit the road. So, to bring a little cheer to those families in your life who love to travel, why not get a gift that gets them excited (and prepared) for that next trip? Here are some great options.

Medjet Membership

red card — Peace of mind is priceless.

Medjet

There’s nothing better than giving someone peace of mind no matter where in the world they are. That’s what a Medjet membership provides. The global air-medical transport and travel security membership program is ideal for loved ones who are always on the move. With a MedjetAssist membership (around $399 for a one-year family membership), if a member is 150 miles from home and needs to be hospitalized, Medjet will provide access to its medical consultants’ team language translators and arrange air medical transfer to the member’s hospital of choice. There are no health questions, claim forms, or deductibles.

JUDY Emergency Kit

CHELSIESTARLEY.COM/JUDY

Accidents will happen with little ones on the road. Help your loved ones be prepared with JUDY. The safety brand creates smartly designed emergency kits ($45) geared towards families. It comes with N95 masks, gloves, a First Aid kit, sanitizer, wet wipes, and tissues. Plus, it’s the size of a pencil kit so that you can throw it in any bag. No wonder Oprah just named them one of her Favorite Things for 2020.

LARQ Bottle

blue water bottle — Having clean water on the go is key.

Larq

There are always those families who like trips off the beaten path, which means it’s harder to come by necessities like clean water. The LARQ Bottle ($76 for a 17oz bottle) is great for families who travel thanks to its self-cleaning technology and water purification system. The built-in UV-C LED light eliminates up to 99.9999% of bio-contaminants from the water and bottle. And the company just came out with the Terra collection this year, with colorways inspired by nature and travel.

Little Passports

children's play kit — Get kids excited about travel even when they’re not on the road.

Little Passports

The Best Gifts For Landscape Photographers

November 28, 2020 [email protected]_84 gifts, Landscape, photographers

Photographer at Namib desert, Namibia, Africa

Photography gear is expensive, and anyone with even a passing interest in cameras will appreciate anything you can do to make their hobby (or business) a little more affordable. But landscape photographers can run into unique challenges as they’re often traveling long distances, often on foot, to find the most amazing destinations to shoot. Not only do they have to work hard to ensure their gear is protected against both travel accidents and the elements, but space is at a premium and weight is extra-important. After all, you can’t carry an extra 40-pound bag of camera lenses if you’re hiking through Patagonia. And unfortunately, high-end gear that’s also lightweight and compact comes with a hefty price tag.

Fortunately, various companies now make creative camera-related gear to help make it a bit easier for landscape photographers to get the perfect shot. From collapsable lens cases to editing programs that use artificial intelligence, there are plenty of gifts you can give this season to brighten a photographer’s day.

Nikon Z5 Mirrorless Full-frame Camera: $1,299

If you’re a photographer, you’ll think something in this listing is incorrect – a brand new, full-frame mirrorless camera at $1,300? And it’s from one of the most reputable manufacturers in the industry? It seems too good to be true, but somehow, it’s not. The new Nikon Z5 is mirrorless, making it much smaller and lightweight – and far more comfortable to carry into remote destinations or on extended landscape shoots. You can buy the camera body only or pair it with different lenses for a complete gift. With this price point and impressive spec sheet, the powerful little Z5 just may become the camera of choice for adventure photographers in 2021 and beyond. It’s a worthy competitor to the Sony A7iii, the current leading and affordable full-frame mirrorless on the market.

A Custom Aluminum Print: $16+

Every landscape photographer has a few photos they’re most proud of, so why not gift them the chance to display it for everyone who comes over? The metal photo prints from Nations Photo Lab are some of their most popular products and are unique alternatives to printing on canvas or photo paper. Sizes range from as small as 4 inches by 4 inches to 24 inches by 36 inches and are easy to clean thanks to a glossy coating. Color correction is also complimentary (if needed.) If you’re giving a gift certificate, you have plenty of time. If you’re printing the actual piece of art for someone, try to order it at least two weeks in advance of the holiday to make sure it arrives in time.

Inflatable Camera Lens Case: $54
