We all know that while stockings may be fun, they can be sometimes hard to…stuff. This holiday season, we’d like to help you stuff those stockings for your loved ones, and maybe keep enough in your wallet to get a little treat for yourself too ;)

Now, we have an overwhelming list of phone choices at TextNow, so we thought we’d simplify it for you with a makeshift holiday gift guide, so you can let us be the elves to your Santa.

Accurate representation of our excitement

The Perfect Gift For: That Tends-To-Drop-Everything Someone

Got a family member or friend whose fingers are constantly buttered? No worries, we have a lineup of affordable phones that won’t break the bank to replace (or fix) when the inevitable drop happens.

Take the LG Tribute Dynasty for an example:

It is currently on sale for $57.99, and still has all the specs that you would care for:

What does that all mean? It means that you can get your loved, albeit clumsy, one a smartphone with all the capabilities for liking, sharing, posting and keeping in touch without worrying about the bill for a phone replacement. After all, the holidays are all about accepting each other in spite of our flaws, right?

Just nod “yes”

The Perfect Gift For: That “Let’s Take a Selfie” Someone

We all have that one friend or cousin who likes to document every moment of their lives on Instagram. One day, you’ll all look back fondly on those memories, right? Even at the one where your chin turned into triplets, but her hair was flawless…all cherished memories.

For that, we have the HTC Bolt:

HTC Bolt

Priced at just $119.99, this phone is a steal once you look inside:

  • 2560 x 1440 Resolution (LCD)
  • 16MP rear camera with 4K video recording, and a front 8MP camera with Auto and Voice Selfie
  • 32GB Internal Storage, expandable up to 2TB

I don’t have to tell you what that means…but I will anyway. The camera resolution and support was tailored for the urban smartphone photographer, and the storage space capacity on this phone means that you can keep taking pictures without running out of space for a long, long, long time. It’s every selfie lover’s dream, and with a display this nice, they can discover all the shades of grey in the world.

The Perfect Gift For: That Teenager You’re Pretty Sure Still Lives Here

So your son or daughter likes to participate in after-school activities: always on the go, a quick appearance at dinnertime, and woosh! off they go again, chasing their dreams. You want to be able to keep in touch with them, and give them the freedom to accomplish everything they need to, without sacrificing their college tuition funds. Well, have we got the phone for you:

LG Stylo 3

The LG Stylo 3 is currently on sale for $89.99, and is packed with all the features an active young mind would want:

  • 5.7" Display
  • 3,200 mAh battery
  • 16GB internal storage, with a microSD slot for up to an extra 2TB of storage

This is a sleek phone in a size that will fit their pockets, and a long lasting battery that might just outlast them. So go ahead and spoil them, they deserve it!

Even aliens deserve presents

So far, we’ve covered the clumsy, the obsessive, and the deserving, but aren’t we forgetting about someone? Oh that’s right, we’re forgetting about you, the most important person of all. You’ve pored over the reviews and the guides and managed to get everyone on your list the perfect gifts. And a feat such as that deserves to be rewarded! Well, we’ve got a little reward for you…

Samsung Galaxy S7

That’s right, the Samsung Galaxy S7: priced at $219.99, this phone is water-resistant, has 4GB of RAM, 2.15GHz processor, and a display that you won’t believe with your own eyes. Well, actually, you will..once you see it.

If you are worried about the pricing, we thought of that too. For a limited time, we are giving you $20 off any phone when you use the promo code textmas20.

With a price like that, you can join all your friends and family members on a TextNow family plan and save up to $10/line a month, so your savings can keep piling up. What do you know, maybe with all the extra money, you can upgrade everyone to S7s next Christmas! (or maybe you can just take a hard earned vacation…away from everyone)

Hear that? That’s the sound of silence

So there you have it: The complete gift guide for all the someones in your life that you’re looking for. And don’t forget, any questions or comments you may have can be answered — just leave them below👇
