To get you in the holiday spirit the Reckoner team have each compiled a list of holiday gift ideas. Everyday this week we’ll be posting one up for you and we’re kicking things off with none other than Mr. Sizzle<\/a> himself Anthony Agius. – Raj<\/em><\/p>\n

If I stumbled across a hidden stash of drug money a careless junkie dealer left not very well hidden between drug deals, I would take that money and spend it on the biggest, fanciest TV available in Australia – an 88″ Samsung QA88Q9FAMWXXY<\/a> featuring a QLED panel, HDR 1500, smart apps, blah, blah, blah. Sure, it isn’t OLED, but I’m enough of a bogan to take the extra 23″ in screen size over deeper blacks, so the $25,999 (I’m sure there’s some wiggle room on the price if I was to pay in cash), 88″ Samsung QA88Q9FAMWXXY is it. I don’t even really care what the image looks like, I just want to sit 30cm away and bask in its warm QLED glow.<\/p>\n

I was skeptical about the Apple AirPods<\/a>. $229 for the same headphones that came in the box with my iPhone, but without a cable? Yeah, nah, I’ll pass. But after getting the Apple Watch again (yes, I am a sucker for shiny Apple gear), I decided to give the AirPods a shot and they are way better than I expected. Sure, the sound quality is nothing to write home about, but they are so damn seamless to connect, don’t fall out of my ears at all, work great for hands-free phone calls and are perfect for roaming around the house whilst listening to a podcast or album. If there’s an Apple nerd in your life who hasn’t got a pair of AirPods already, fill the tic tac case sized hole in their hear this Christmas.<\/p>\n

360-degree cameras aren’t something you’ll use every day, but if you’re on a holiday, or have an event you’d like to remember in a bit more detail than a simple photo or video, they add a bit of fun. That said, I also don’t want to drop too much cash on something I’ll only use sporadically and 4K video cameras are not cheap. That’s why the “Xiaomi Mijia 3.5K Panorama Action Camera<\/a>” is such a good deal. Often found for under $300, this little camera takes decent quality 360-degree videos via a wide angle lens on both sides of the body. Here’s a video review<\/a>. It’s not perfect, but for the price it’s a banger. Make sure you\u00a0get the international version, so there’s English menus and stuff.<\/p>\n
