SPONSORED CONTENT -- (StatePoint) Holiday gifting shouldn’t mean giving objects that sit in the corner and gather dust. Consider these gift ideas that will inspire growth, learning, creativity and confidence -- and which will actually get used:
Musical possibilities: Open the door to a world of creative possibilities for your gift recipient with the CT-S1-76 keyboard from Casio, which is designed for anyone who’s ready to spread their musical wings. Its 13-watt bass-ported stereo speaker system delivers punch and clarity at all volumes, but it can also be played quietly with a good set of headphones. With 76 full-size keys with touch response and more than 60 tones, including stereo grand piano, it’s a versatile, customizable instrument, and one built to accommodate many types of use. It’s sleek and portable design is well-suited for on-the-go music-making; its built-in metronome keeps the beat; and its one-button recorder makes it easy to capture one’s compositions and performances.
Handwritten inspiration: Whether your gift recipient is a poet, lyricist, doodler or big thinker, a digital notebook is a must-have for getting creative juices flowing. This handy, stylish tool for the workplace, classroom, or on-the-go, combines the digital benefits of being able to save, organize and search for one’s work, with the distraction-free experience of writing on paper by hand.
Mathematical fun: Students and recreational math enthusiasts alike should be armed with the best scientific calculator to support their studies. The fx-991CW ClassWiz from Casio comes with a new quadruple graded LCD display, so that users can easily find their cursor while writing and modifying expressions. With the ability to store and recall up to nine variables, which can contain integers, computations and functions, and to recall variables between sessions, the ClassWiz is a powerful learning tool. All of its functions can be accessed through the Math Catalog, which hosts 47 scientific constants and 40 measurement conversions. By partnering the calculator with an internet-capable mobile device, solutions can be graphed and visualized through ClassPad.net.
Fitness that keeps on giving: For the fitness enthusiast in your life, or someone who aspires to be, consider a subscription box aimed at supporting them on their athletic journey. Some subscriptions are categorized by sport to appeal to yogis, hikers, weight lifters, marathoners and more, and others are tailored by type of product, such as apparel, healthy snacks or recovery gear. With so many options to choose from, you’ll be sure to find a subscription that will inspire your fit friend or family member.
This holiday season, make the season merry and bright by using gift-giving as an opportunity to support your love ones’ talents and passions.
