Microsoft Surface Pro 9
Earlier this year, we reviewed the Surface Pro 9, a tablet designed for family use. Priced at $1279.99 CAD, this versatile device serves as a tablet and also functions as a PC, making it unique among other iPad and Android devices. The Surface Pro 9 seamlessly transitions from entertainment to homework powerhouse with its detachable keyboard. With ongoing holiday deals and student discounts on the Microsoft Store online, now is an ideal time to take advantage of the offers and purchase.
Bose Quiet Comfort Earbuds 2
Good earbuds are the quintessential accessory of today’s modern life. With most smart device manufacturers eliminating the headphone jack, picking up a pair is essential. To survive long car rides on family vacations or even just the commute to work – young or old earbuds are a must. The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 are our top pick for the holiday because they have excellent noise cancelling and sound. Bose is selling the QC earbuds 2 for CAD 279 with free shipping.

The Solis Lite Hotspot is one of those gifts that, while it may seem like a luxury, is a necessity, especially with kids. The Solis Lite Hotspot is an easy to setup cellular mobile WiFi hotspot that can connect up to ten devices anywhere and power your family’s WiFi needs nearly anywhere in the world.

With support for the open standard Matter platform, this display integrates with hundreds of companies’ smart home devices. It features built-in Nest video security and a video call-capable camera with speakers that will fill most spaces. Right now, Google is offering the Nest Hub Max for CAD 179.
