The Apple Holiday Gift Guide 2021 is out with suggestions for phones, computers, audio accessories and exercise gear for a variety of people on your shopping list.
As a bonus, Apple is offering downloadable templates to make personalized holiday cards.
Apple Holiday Gift Guide is literally that
Apple’s Holiday Gift Guide is not a collection of deals on Apple products. In fact, it offers no special prices at all. It is instead a collection of suggestions. It offers “recommendations for photographers, creatives, and health and fitness and entertainment lovers,” according to Apple.
For example, if someone on your gift list is into exercise (or you’d like them to become interested) the guide offers suggestions for Apple Watch models, AirPods and other accessories.
Apple’s Holiday Gift Guide is most useful for people who aren‘t overly familiar with the company’s products and are looking for a present for someone who already has an iPhone and a Mac.
Those looking for suggestions are urged to go to a retail Apple Store, though phone and online help is available. “Whether in stores or online, our Apple Specialists are ready to welcome customers, offer gift recommendations, and provide the support customers need throughout the holidays,“ said Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of Retail + People.
Apple helps you make your own holiday cards
Apple also began offering free Keynote templates to help Mac or iPad users create personalized holiday cards. They offer festive shapes, colorful stickers, and backgrounds. Users can customize their cards with photos, videos, and a personal message.
The templates are available from the Apple website.
