Father's Day gift idea: a Samsung phone + Gear VR bundle from Best Buy

#ad

My husband has many great qualities. He is a wonderful father, a hard worker, a loyal husband, and he treats us all as if we are the most precious things on earth. But, he is sometimes difficult to buy gifts for. He spends most of his time working and doesn't have a lot of hobbies. He enjoys kicking back and watching a good action flick or hilarious comedy, and he likes to spend hours engrossed in a game. So, a game is what he typically gets for gifts on most special days and holidays, including Father's Day.

This got me to thinking about what other people do for the fathers in their lives. Does anyone else have a man that is difficult to buy for? Is there anyone out there searching for something fun to get as a gift for Father's Day? There is bound to be, right? I can't be the only one that struggles through this every year!


So here is something that I think might interest many of you. It is the Samsung phone + Gear VR bundle that is available at Best Buy. This offer is good 6/5-6/18 online or in Best Buy stores. With this offer you can get a free Samsung Gear VR, plus $50 of Virtual Reality content with purchase, or lease, and activation of select Samsung Smartphones. I think this sounds like a great value. He gets a great new phone AND the free Samsung Gear VR with content! This would definitely be perfect for my husband.

Now, some of you may be asking what the Samsung Gear VR is and why I am so excited about it. The short answer is this: Mobile virtual reality has finally arrived. Be at the center of exciting games, watch the best of Hollywood in your own private cinema, socialize with friends, and so much more. The Samsung Gear VR drops you right in the action — and it's only from Samsung and Oculus.


A more detailed explanation would be that if a person enjoys gaming, like my husband, myself, and both of our children do, then the more immersed in a game we can get, the better we love it. To be drawn into a game and be able to lose yourself in it is a great feeling. Can you imagine how much more enjoyable it can be with mobile virtual reality? You can't beat feeling like you are right in the middle of all the action and excitement, exploring, fighting, racing, and anything else the games offer.

That is just the gaming aspect of it. The Samsung Gear VR offers more than just gaming. You can stream movies and your favorite shows through the Samsung phone as well as use the Oculus Video app to customize your virtual environment and create your own trailers and videos. You can have your own private cinema!

So, in addition to gaming, you can go on some incredible virtual adventures, stream live performances, binge watch your favorite shows, and so much more. To find out more about the Samsung Gear VR just visit this link. Also, here is a link to the Samsung VR offer. Remember, the offer is only good until June 18th online and in-store.

Check out the new HP Envy TouchSmart 15.6" Touch Screen Laptop at Best Buy

One thing you might not know about me is that I love games. I love how they look, I love how they sound, and I love playing them for hours on end. A great story, some fun characters, and a lot of either hack and slash action or puzzle solving and I am hooked. I play on my laptop, on my tablet, on my phone, and on various consoles throughout the house.  I married a man that loves to play games and I have two children that love gaming as well. My son is actually going to school to become a game designer. Needless to say, a laptop that will perform well for gaming is a must in our household. 

Along with movies and books, games are a great way to just relax and escape from reality for awhile. I spend countless hours streaming movies, playing games, or just reading ebooks. I have experienced too many laptops and PCs in my life that were just not up to the job, causing major lagging, poor graphics, or just unable to run the games at all. It is frustrating, to say the least.  So I am excited to see a new laptop come out that looks to be perfect for gaming, as well as my other favorite activities. 


With the new HP Envy TouchSmart 15.6" touch screen laptop, you can easily enjoy all three of my favorite pastimes. With the extreme performance of AMD's most powerful mobile processor delivering the processing power of 10 compute cores (4 CPU + 6 GPU), you will get an exceptional experience with award winning graphics. Then you will be effortlessly streaming, playing, skyping, or whatever else you want to do.

Multitasking is a breeze with the Quick AMD FX series processor in this laptop. Get your project done while streaming the latest episode of your favorite show. Plan your weekly shopping trip while streaming music or watching some YouTube videos. Play a MMORPG while Skyping your best friend. There are many fun ways to multitask throughout the day. What's your favorite way to multitask? Feel free to answer in the comment section below!



 If you are looking to purchase a notebook, the AMD FX Special Edition APU, which introduces AMD's highest performing APUs, exclusive at Best Buy, should be on your got to check it out list.
