Best Christmas Gifts for 2014

2014 has been a great year for gizmos, gadgets, and fun little widgets. If you are still looking for items make the holiday that much more exciting for your friends and loved ones, there is certainly a lot to choose from. Hopefully this list will help you get some good ideas.
The Top Ten
1 PlayStation 4

Now that the eighth generation console market has had a year to mature, it's time to jump on that bandwagon. While there are compelling arguments to choose any of the top consoles, the PlayStation 4 has taken the early lead in sales numbers.

The better choice a year ago, but now this and the Xbox one are basically the same thing.

Probably getting one in February 2015. So only a few months away. I'm counting the days...

I'm an Atheist but I celebrate Christmas, laugh out loud. I mean who would mind getting a PS4?

2 Xbox One

The launch a year ago was clearly a bumpy one, but this holiday season the Xbox One is making some serious strides. With arguably the best library of exclusives, the holiday season release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, significant price drops, and a core system that when it comes down to it is only negligibly inferior to that of the PlayStation 4, the Xbox One is poised to make a lot of people happy this Christmas.

Ps4 had a better initial launch, what with the stupid DRM and higher price range. But now that Microsoft has reworked its console and released many stellar games, the ps4's lack of entertainment options and small library of games is giving the Xbox one an edge. I would definitely suggest this over the ps4. The only reason ps4 was winning in the first place was because of people stupidly preordering it because they joined the bandwagon.

Xbox One is a MUST GET if you're a Halo fan. Especially with the price drop, which makes it cheaper than a PS4. There's also plenty of awesome games out there like Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, if you're an FPS fan. I'd highly recommend getting this for anyone who is a gamer.

Who the heck wants this? It'll break a month later and it has little games, it has no reverse compatibility, all games require internet, yeah it's pretty bad. Microsoft should be smarter when making game consoles.

3 Nintendo Wii U

The Wii U is a good console and is seen bad only by Sony and Microsoft fanboys. It has great games, like Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros U, Nintendoland, Super Mario 3D World, DOnkey Kong COuntry Returns, Hyrule Warriors, and will have even better games like Mario Maker, Yoshi's Woolly World, Mario Party 10, Zelda you and HOPEFULLY Metroid Prime 4.

In 2013 I Got A Wii U It Came With Skylanders Swap Force Which Is My Favorite Wii U Game Ever & The Best Skylander Is Spyro The Dragon Spyro Is One Of My Top 10 Favorite Video Game Character's I Like Spyro To TheTopTens User Keyson

It's so stupid. They just released something that is just like a Wii except for the gamepad, and then released tons of awesome games but made them ONLY FOR Wii U! They just made it to get money.

I want one for Christmas so bad! I want super smash bros. , super Mario bros. u, captain toad and more!

4 iPhone 6 Plus

I would totally say to get this, but lets be real now, who's gonna waste $600 on someone if you could just buy one for yourself!

Seriously? iPhone 6+ looks like a iPad mini. What's the difference. Oh wait there 1 difference it costs 500$ more than an iPad.

The 6 is better but the 6 plus is fine it's just more expensive for not much more. So personally I would get the iPhone 6.

The iPhone 6 is way better than the 6 plus. The 6 plus is just a design copy of Samsung phones.

5 Nintendo 3DS

Dang rich people... so many high end consoles!

I've always wanted this

New 3DS is better

6 Samsung Galaxy S5

Not enough credit is given to gifts with a high amount of utility. Instead, people often times will opt for gifts that the recipient "wouldn't buy for themselves". But there is something to be said for a gift that will be used and probably enjoyed every single day it is owned.

7 Super Smash Bros Wii U

Great game! Tons of replay value. Fun characters. Great Graphics. Great Music. Easy to control. What's not to love about this game?

Great game. Must have for all Wii U owners.

They added Pac-Man, PAC MAN, enough' said

Link is my favorite

8 Event Tickets

I would chose this. It's the only thing that's no electronic. Studies show video games and other electronics could lower your grades if you're a kid, lower your performance at work, and will just make you a lazy person. If you get event tickets, you could go to magic mountain, disneyland, on a cruise, or some other place that doesn't involve picking up an electronic device to become a game jockey.

Sometimes it is near impossible to find a thing that someone wants or needs. Perhaps they aren't particularly possession motivated or perhaps they are the type of person that buys what they want for themselves. For these people, try giving the gift of an experience instead of a thing. Send them to a concert or sporting event.

Event tickets are a really good idea for a gift, especially for someone who is into music or if they aren't really into video games. Giving the gift of an experience rather than a thing seems like the obvious choice.

Tickets for any event!? Sign me up for tickets to a concert! A concert of any person I love would be the best!

9 Spotify Premium Subscription

Fortunately, in 2014 Spotify finally made it easy to give people the gift of access to their library of over 20 million songs. And with Spotify Premium, you can take music on the go without having to be online. Install the app on your phone or other mobile device, download your music, and listen wherever without worrying about connectivity or data charges.

10 Netflix Subscription

Netflix has completely changed the way we watch television and if you know one of those seemingly rare someones who haven't joined the times and plowed through entire seasons of Breaking Bad, How I Met Your Mother, or Family Guy in a week, now is the perfect time to show them what they have been missing. And even if they are already on board, why not give them something you already know they like?

I hope my parents get me this

Question... who doesn't like NETFLIX!?!?!

I believe thatall people should get one... it makes everything easier

The Contenders
11 Pokemon Omega Ruby

A remake of arguably the greatest Pokemon games ever in 3D? Its pretty clear

12 Grand Theft Auto V

Come on, the trailer was released 3 years ago, and it's been 1 year since release. Everyone kills you online.

Best game. The possibilities are endless.

The hit game on Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, and PS3. I don't recommend for under the age of 16.

13 Shrek

Why did I not vote for Shrek?!

Shrek is love, Shrek is life

Shrek is life, shrek is love.

No man, don't go there.

14 iPad Mini 3

This new iPad Mini will be selling off the shelves this Christmas. Buy one before they sell out. Anyone will love this, all ages. iPad Mini 3 will be great for anyone.

There is an iPad mini 2?

I am getting a ipad mini

You don't need an iPad mini 3, nobody does.

15 iPhone 6
16 Audio-Technica ATH-M50 Headphones

It's one thing to listen to the music you like. It's a whole different experience to listen to that music the way it was intended. These headphones are affordable while still being high enough quality to be used by music professionals while recording in the studio.

17 Jackie Evancho's Awakening Album with Bonus Christmas Song CD

For a small investment, you can bring the joy of music to someone you care about. The most beautiful voice in history combined with the most beautiful songs ever created. Pretty good deal.

18 Assassin's Creed Unity
19 Destiny

Despite what critics say Destiny was still pretty fun

20 Money

I would like this because I could go buy something I really wanted

This should be number one.

... Who doesn't want money?

21 Gift Cards

Gift cards certainly get a bad rap. They're impersonal, they don't require any thought, they're lazy, and it's like giving someone an errand for the holidays. But you know what? Sometimes it's better to get something you truly want than it is to have the guilt of never using or even throwing away something given with love and care. Perhaps that seems cold, but hopefully you'll get over it when you go shopping for the thing you really wanted and didn't get.

Laugh out loud gift cards.

22 Fitbit One

Granted, buying fitness related gifts can backfire ("Are you saying I'm fat? "), but if the person you are buying for has already expressed an interest in an activity tracker, the Fitbit One has received glowing reviews and is compatible with Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.

23 Pressure Cooker

The moist, tender meat in just minutes, not hours. Not your mother's pressure cooker anymore.
