From handhelds to consoles, the

top systems are getting fresh

updates for the holiday season.

Some even come packaged with

the latest must-play game.

These systems are a go

NiNteNdo 2ds — $100The Nintendo 2DS is the perfect handheld for the starter gamer. It has a durable, non-hinge form, plays all Nintendo 3DS title (in 2-D, obviously), and can be used for co-op and multiplayer gaming with a local Internet connection. And good news for gifters: For the 2015 holiday season, it gets a $30 price drop and still comes bundled with a digital version of Mario Kart 7.

Sometimes you don’t know you want something till you see it in a different way. The fancy headphones. The fitness tracker. The whatever-number iPhone. It can be hard to stand out – especially in the gadget world – when everything is black and white and gray all over. But add some color and suddenly — I need that! That’s sure to be the case this holiday season, where the latest gadgets are popping up pink.

iPhoNe 6sfrom $200There is a bevy of new technology in the latest iteration of the iPhone. The new 3D Touch delivers haptic notifications. The iSight camera shoots 12MP pictures and 4K video and now allows you to create GIFs (what Apple calls Live Photos). But the iPhone’s new Rose Gold finish – matching the one available on the Apple Watch – is perhaps its most attractive feature.

PiNKWhen Apple gives the iPhone a rosy hue, you know it’s hot. Here, the colorful tech gifts that are sure to make anyone blush

CrosleyCruiserPortaBle turNtaBle $100The luxury of vinyl sound with the freedom of your favorite music device. This briefcase-style turntable packs up and goes wherever you go, with built-in speakers so you never need to plug into a speaker. It features a headphone jack for solo listening and playback for your portable music devices, too.

headPhoNes

CrosleyamPlitone—$30The perfect color match for Crosley’s pink portable Cruiser turntable, the on-ear Amplitone headphones feature a padded fabric headband with integrated sliders for adjusting to a perfect fit. Its braided cable is replaceable and compatible with any 3.5mm headphone jack

Beats solo2 royal editioN — $200The Beats Solo2 offer a sleek, streamlined aesthetic that easily folds up for packing away on the go. Now under the Apple umbrella, Beats’ RemoteTalk cable is designed for compatibility with iOS devices. The earcups (on-ear) are designed to stay cool and minimize sound leakage

NiNteNdo 3ds $170 Like any modern-day video games system, Nintendo’s handheld family has plenty of iterations. But it’s the classic 3DS – not its 2-D or XL siblings – that comes in a pearly pink hue. Perfect for the gamer that wants to be on-trend this holiday season.

Fitbit Flex $100The FitBit flex is an all-day activity tracker, giving you feedback on how well you sleep and waking you with a silent alarm, then tracks steps, distance, calories burned and total active minutes during while you’re awake. The water-resistant band has a 5-day battery – perfect for getting you through the workweek.

JaWBoNe uP 24 $149There’s no visible display on Jawbone’s Up – all the health data it harvests from you is sent directly to your phone. It has an amazing 2-week battery life and quickly recharges via USB. A free app helps you track the calorie content of what you’re eating with a Food Score to measure your prospective food choices. Another neat feature: If you own a Nest Learning Thermostat, it can work with your Up 24 to learn when you’re awake and when you’re asleep to adjust your home’s temperature accordingly.

in half a decade, tablets have gone from nonexistent to ubiquitous. What once was a cutting-edge Internet device now is as universal as it gets. Kids can operate them operate them before they’re potty-trained,

and then teach grandma and grandpa how to use them.

In fact, you may have a hard time trying to name someone who does not own a tablet. But just because the devices have infiltrated every corner of our lives does not mean there is not room for improvement.

Now, it’s not just about getting a tablet, it’s about getting the right tablet. With more tablets coming in more sizes, it’s a bit like the Goldilocks paradox: Find one that’s not too big and not too little but just right. Here’s a look at the latest options.

The first iPad arrived in 2010 with a 9.7-inch screen. It kept its screen size over the years while it slimmed and transitioned into what is now called the iPad Air. Then came the iPad mini, small enough to hold with one hand. Now, there is the iPad Pro, with a screen nearly

music is the gift that keeps on giving, and no gift gives more music in the modern age than streaming. This year saw the introduction of several high-profile entries into the market, which makes choosing the right one for your loved one all the more challenging. All ser-

vices offer in excess of 30 million songs in addition to radio and offline playback. Even the prices are pretty much standard, and aside from the lossless audio upgrade option offered by Tidal, they all sound pretty much the same.

So, how does one go about gifting a streaming service this holiday season? Most services offer pre-paid gift cards available at your local supermarket or drugstore, which allow users to sign up and use the service for free or, for existing members, forgo payment for the balance of the card.

The bigger question, though, is how do you decide which one is the best? If you know which service a loved one uses, stick with a gift card for that service as she already has made the difficult choice for you. If you are buying for newbie, here are the basics to help you choose which streaming service to give the music lover on your list:

sPotifyPrice: $9.99/month + $5/month per additional userBitrate: 320 kbpsMusic videos: No

Spotify has been the leader in music streaming for several years, which means they offer a wealth of intimate live performances, dubbed Spotify Sessions.The interface and functionality are top-notch. For runners, a beat-matching app curates music to your paces. A free version, available for desktop and mobile, allows users nearly all of the features of the paid version, only with ads popping up in between plays.
