The Unexpected Gifts That Will Help You Make Memories for Years to Come
It's all about setting the scene this holiday season
The bigger holiday events understandably get all the recognition. Stunning decorations, dazzling parties, and extravagant gifts are exciting, but when I think back on what makes my holidays memorable, it's rarely those things. What stands out to me is snuggling up on the couch with my family and a bowl of popcorn to watch our favorite movies or home videos, and baking sugar cookies with my grandma while she hums along to a classic Christmas album playing in the background.
Sound is entwined with memory, so gifting studio-quality Sonos gear that delivers crisp, clear sound is a thoughtful and practical way to amplify the holidays. Your gift can be as simple as a pair of headphones, so they can play their favorite comfort podcast while they commute to work, or as grand as a soundbar that will fill their life with music.

Aesthetics are important to us, so we like that the Sonos Arc Ultra Premium Smart Soundbar is sleek but powerful thanks to the new Sound Motion technology. Set-up is as simple as plugging in a power cable, but you can also use WiFi to stream your favorite music, shows, podcasts, and more.
Your kids probably won't remember all the gifts you get them, but they will remember the hot cocoa and theater-worthy movie night you planned for them. The Sub 4 eliminates distortion to deliver that crisp, clear, movie theater surround sound we've come to know and love.
If you're the designated host for the holiday season or gatherings year-round, you'll want the Era 300 for your party playlist. Its acoustic design projects sound from the floor to the ceiling and in every corner of the room, so you'll feel like you've splashed out on a live band.
Entertainment shouldn't be limited to indoors. This portable speaker has Trueplay tuning, which automatically notes the acoustic surroundings to optimize your sound, even while you're outside. This waterproof speaker also has an extra-long battery life, so you won't need to worry about the night ending early.
I've always had to travel for the holidays, so a pair of headphones that can deliver crystal-clear sound and stay charged for hours is a lifesaver. You'll want to gift a pair that can block unwanted noise while also letting in ambient sound as needed (so they don't miss their flight's boarding call). These award-winning headphones check all the boxes.
