Thank Bezos<\/em>\u00a0we can turn to Amazon Prime to buy online and get gifts in time for next week\u2019s office holiday parties and family affairs. Procrastinators rejoice!<\/p>\n Here are 11 gift ideas spanning all price ranges and interests, (nearly) all for sale with Amazon Prime two-day delivery.<\/p>\n From good reads to the hottest new tech, these gifts are sure to get a smile from digitally minded friends and family. Some SEO holiday wish list items might even find their way to your own Amazon wish list.<\/p>\n Smart home devices and systems are the cutting-edge tech of 2016. Last year Amazon entered the market with Echo, and Alexa was introduced as a household helper for turning on music or giving weather reports on voice command.<\/p>\n This year Amazon\u2019s released a smaller and more affordable voice-controlled smart home device in Echo Dot. For a fun toy that\u2019s opening doors to our voice-controlled, smart home future, give the gift of Amazon Echo, $139.99<\/a>, or Amazon Echo Dot, $39.99<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the same vein as Echo is the Google Home voice-activated smart home assistant. Unfortunately, as a direct competitor to Echo, Amazon isn\u2019t allowing vendors to sell it. But if you\u2019re looking to buy for a Google tech fan on your list, hop to it and get it in-store at Walmart<\/a> or online from the Google Store<\/a> for $129.00.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Digital marketing is in a maturation period. Marketers are expected to be more sophisticated, technically savvy and, on top of it all, more human<\/em> than ever. What does that even mean?<\/p>\n With a brand new business strategy book that offers frameworks for optimizing the customer experience<\/em>, Travis Wright<\/a> and Chris J. Snook<\/a> share the \u201ccommon sense\u201d secrets that the most effective leaders in business use to increase customer satisfaction and employee happiness. $26.00 on Amazon Prime<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the category of insanely useful and usually delayed when buying for oneself: lightning adapters that allow iPhone 7 owners to plug regular headphones into the device. By now, half of us have lost the one that came with the iPhone 7, am I right?<\/p>\n Apple\u2019s official adapter is $8.99 on Amazon Prime<\/a>. Take adapter usefulness to the next level with a 2-in-1 that allows users to charge and listen at the same time; $9.77 on Amazon Prime<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once upon a time, \u201cbrand\u201d and \u201cpublisher\u201d were terms reserved for the Coca-Colas and New York Times of the world. Today we think of brands and publishers as designations accessible to anyone.<\/p>\n If you have a blog, YouTube channel, Instagram, Etsy storefront, podcast (or dreams of any of the above), you are a brand and publisher. The handbook for anyone who meets these criteria is Lisa Buyer<\/a>\u2019s \u201cSocial PR Secrets.\u201d She even remembers to put it all in perspective with a chapter on mindfulness and the value of unplugging from time to time. $24.99 on Amazon Prime<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Got a coffee addict and tech nerd on your list? They\u2019ll appreciate the elegantly low tech solution to the perfect single-serving mug of coffee. K-Cups are convenient when you don\u2019t want to brew a whole pot, but you know they got nothing on real beans.<\/p>\n As an Aeropress owner myself, I tell you the coffee meets French press standards while the clean up, transportability and store-easy size make it a cinch for everything from camping to office life. $29.95 on Amazon Prime<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Maybe a stretch to put this on the list, Snapchat\u2019s hard-to-get spectacles aren\u2019t a Prime buy (they won\u2019t arrive in time for Christmas; they\u2019re slated for delivery Dec. 22 to Jan. 11) but they make the list as 2016\u2019s hottest tech for the social media obsessed.<\/p>\n These retail for $130 if you can find one of Snapchat\u2019s pop-up vending machines. For everyone else, they\u2019re resold by vendors on Amazon starting at $246<\/a>.<\/p>\n An affordable Snapchat-themed alternative (not pictured): the official Snapchat plushie which is<\/em> available on Prime for $8.99<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ernest Cline\u2019s work of adventure sci-fi fiction takes place in 2044, when the virtual utopia known as OASIS serves up puzzles and intrigue, danger and power.<\/p>\n It’s been praised as Willy Wonky meets the Matrix, making it an exciting choice for the sci-fi geek on your list. Plus Steven Spielberg is directing the movie slated for release in 2018.\u00a0$9.99 for the paperback on Amazon Prime<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n JSYK don\u2019t buy Tile for me.
