Top Christmas Gifts of 2020

This year was definitely a crazy year, and when the holidays came around, the year got even crazier. Many people this year had trouble figuring out what to buy for their loved ones, and had even more trouble with buying it and giving it to them. With Covid in the air, a lot of people struggled with buying gifts, whether they couldn’t go into the store or their order wasn’t going to arrive in time. Giving gifts to loved ones was definitely the hardest part of the holidays this year. Since many families chose to celebrate separately this year, gifts didn’t always get to them in time. At the end of this chaotic time, many people were happy with what they had received, no matter when it was given to them. Here are some of the top gifts of 2020! 

 At the end of 2019, people all over the world were introduced to Disney+. When quarantine started in mid-March of 2020, peoples’ obsession with Disney+ grew. In an article by USA TODAY, they said, “Shiny, new Disney+ was last year’s hottest streaming service and the obsession with it has not slowed down. With new movie and TV show offerings like Hamilton and the live-action Mulan, there's always a reason to want Disney+. Plus, with access to pretty much every Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel movie, it’ll surely bring a smile to anyone’s face.” Because Disney+ was, and still continues to be very popular, many people gave their loved ones a one-year subscription, and all the person who was receiving this gift had to do was redeem it on any day they choose. 

Another popular gift this year was Apple Airpods Pro. The Airpods were released in late 2016, and people all over the world loved them. Because of this, Apple came out with an updated version of these called Airpods Pro, in late 2019. On the Apple website, it shows you an overview of the Airpods Pro. They are sold for $249, with better sound, noise cancellation, and a more comfortable fit than the previous Airpods. 

For all the beauty lovers out there, the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer was one of the top gifts of the holidays. This item is extremely popular, with more than 75,000 reviews and a 4.4-star rating on Amazon. USA TODAY says that it is definitely worth all of the hype. It dries wavy hair straight, leaving it with voluminous flips, and also only takes about 30 minutes to complete the job. 

The top gifts this year were definitely gifts to remember. Can’t wait to see what's in store for the holidays of 2021!
