GIFT OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE

Over 190 million Americans play video games at least once a week. And for today’s gamers, hyper-realistic graphics, immersive open worlds, and advanced gameplay features have become the norm. Storage demands for consoles and PCs have skyrocketed as a result, but Humphrey has the perfect solution for every gamer this holiday season.

"Today’s video games are larger than ever, and constantly deleting and redownloading titles can be frustrating," says Humphrey, adding, "The best way to streamline the gaming experience is by upgrading your storage.” She highlights the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as a standout gift for gamers. Designed for speed, durability, and ease of use, this solid-state drive offers:

  • Up to 4TB of capacity for storing all games in one place
  • A built-in Heatsink version that’s optimized for PlayStation 5, keeping your console cool and ensuring smooth performance, even during long sessions
  • Rapid transfer speeds for faster downloads and reduced load times

"This SSD makes the perfect stocking stuffer for any gamer. Not only does it take just minutes to install and expand your capacity, but its fast transfer feeds enhance performance so players can dive into their games more quickly and always stay immersed," says Humphrey.

Whether its new games or a fresh console as part of your holiday haul, the Samsung 990 PRO SSD will be your trusted gaming companion all year long.

GIFT OF COMMUNITY CONNECTION

Staying connected with loved ones and your community has never been easier, especially during the holiday season. Humphrey highlights how the Nextdoor platform is helping neighbors celebrate, connect, and find last-minute holiday solutions.

"One of my favorite things during the holidays is seeing how technology brings us closer together, and Nextdoor is at the heart of it all," says Humphrey. "Whether it’s sharing milestones or helping each other out, it’s the perfect tool for staying connected with friends, family, and your neighborhood."

This year, Nextdoor unveiled its Nextdoor Rewind, a recap of amazing moments achieved by neighbors across the U.S. For example:

  • Nearly 10 million items were listed on Nextdoor’s For Sale & Free section in 2023, ranging from toys, games, and fitness trackers to eReaders, kitchen gadgets, gaming gear, and even nostalgic tech like Polaroid cameras
  • The platform continues to help neighbors find local professionals, like handypersons and vendors, for tasks such as TV mounting or professional equipment setup—a perfect solution for tech gifts that need expert installation

"If you’re still looking for last-minute gifts and staying on budget, your neighbor might have exactly what you need—even when the stores are closed," Humphrey adds.
