The shopping frenzy is in full force as parking lots are full beyond capacity and tensions are rising high everywhere you go. While a trip to the store or mall might be unavoidable, there are ways to lessen the stress. One such way is by cutting down on how many places you have to go to and getting help to find the best tech gifts\/purchases at the lowest prices. That’s why the Microsoft store is a fab destination<\/a>\u00a0to do just that. As part of a paid campaign, I was asked to scope out the store for you and share some highlights.<\/p>\n

The Microsoft store has something for everyone, from fitness<\/a> to work and from school to play. Plus, I love how the store is laid out in a way that makes finding what you need a cinch. Here are five reasons why the Microsoft store is THE place to fill all your tech needs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5 Reasons to Visit the Microsoft Store<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Technology Galore \u2013 The latest tablets, laptops, phones, games, and gadgets are on display to try out firsthand. The store associates\u00a0are around if you need any extra information on a particular item. In-store demos and training<\/a> are also available.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"The<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Games \u2013 Not sure which games to get? Get suggestions and play several titles in-store including Xbox One Kinect games like Fantasia, FIFA Soccer, and more. There were three gaming spots in the store I visited and each had a different game on. If you’re interested in checking out a specific game, don’t be shy in asking\u00a0a staff member to pull it up for you. As long as it’s family-friendly and on their system, they’ll be more than happy to oblige.<\/li>\n
    2. Surface Pro 3<\/a> \u2013 A\u00a0computing powerhouse in the\u00a0form of a lightweight tablet. The kickstand can be adjusted to almost any\u00a0angle but still feels solidly attached. I appreciated the fact that the staff member clarified the hardware options and pricing, outlining which models were best for different customers’ needs. Oh, and in case you were wondering, keyboard covers come in dark blue, light blue, black, red, and purple.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"The<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Deals \u2013 Right now the 12 Days of Deals\u00a0event is going on with a very special deal being offered each day. The Jawbone MINI JAMBOX\u00a0was going for $60 off the retail price the day\u00a0I was there. Check daily to see what one-day deals are up\u00a0here<\/a>. Hurry, this promotion ends December 19th.<\/li>\n
      2. Service \u2013\u00a0Plenty of helpful and knowledgable store assosicates are on-hand at all times. I was surprised by just how many employees were available to greet and assist shoppers\u00a0visiting the store. You can always find someone to help but, fortunately, no one tries to pressure you into an uncomfortable purchase.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        I was geeking out with all the shiny new tech surrounding me. Even when I exited the store, I got distracted yet again. Kinect Sports Rivals was being shown just outside and I just had to try it. We just bought an Xbox One with Kinect (love it) and this game has been on our “maybe” list of games to get. The employee manning the station (well, wo-manning, actually, since the employee was female) was kind enough to even join me for a 2-player tennis match. Too fun!<\/p>\n

        \nSo the next time you need to get some new tech for yourself, your family, or your friends, you might want to stop by the Microsoft store. The products and the staff will impress you and have you leaving the store with a smile. In case you need more ideas of top items to pick up,
