Gift trends change while gifting goals remain the same – for presents to be affordable and useful – well after the holidays. David Gregg, BehindTheBuy.com’s Senior Editor, is back with his remaining top gift picks to help us achieve our 2019 gifting goals.
Samsung The Frame QLED TV
My first gift idea will enhance any home because it’s a TV when it’s on and beautiful art when it’s off. Samsung’s Frame TV elevates any room’s aesthetic by transforming from a brilliant TV, into a stunning decorative display featuring over 1,200 works of art from Samsung’s Art Store. Its extraordinary QLED Quantum Dot technology provides incredible picture quality on this 4K Smart TV while watching your favorite streaming services. Customize the Frame TV to match your taste with a choice of white, black, beige, and brown frames and screen sizes, to complement your style and space.

WORX TRIVAC
The WORX TRIVAC is a great gift to simplify yard work and home maintenance. This 3-in-1 features a wide mouth, single tube design to blow, vacuum and mulch leaves and yard debris – so no other tools are needed. Simply turn the switch, and slip on the collection bag to convert from blower to vacuuming mulcher. The Leafpro (sold separately) sends shredded leaves directly to a trashcan. TRIVAC’s metal impeller shreds 16 bags of leaves down to this single collection bag. It’s also great for home maintenance – like cleaning the garage, clearing decks, patios and entranceways.
