Holiday Gift Ideas for Kids

Wearables are one of the hottest items in wireless technology, representing a multi-million dollar industry. One of the newest wearables on the market is for kids, the GizmoPal from LG. Available exclusively from Verizon Wireless, this nifty device combines GPS tracking with simple, single-button, two-way calling, to provide parents with peace-of-mind in being able to see, through a companion smartphone app, exactly where their child who is wearing the device is.

The kid-friendly device, recommended for children ages 4 and up, is available in pink or blue, and fits perfectly on the wrist of most children, who are apt to find it cool to wear a “smart-watch” device and easy to make and receive phone calls using its single-button calling and Auto-answer features. All the child has to do is press a button to make or answer a call, followed by speaking into GizmoPal and listening through its speaker—no complicated steps that can cause confusion. The child is able to place a call to a primary or secondary caregiver and can receive calls from two additional approved contacts. GizmoPal’s family-focused functionality is matched by a durable, kid-friendly design that is built to withstand the playground’s most ambitious set of monkey bars.

The GizmoPal is the perfect tech gift for tots with a bonus for the giver – the security in knowing where your kids are and how to stay connected with them through the GizmoPal app, which parents can install on their Android device or iOS device so they can locate their child using GPS technologies. Parents with Android smartphones can also receive their child’s anticipated location information automatically at pre-scheduled times through Location Check, letting them know where their child should be at specified times. For example, if you know your child normally gets home from school at 3:15pm you can set a reminder for that time and get a notification on your phone so you can check whether your child gets home on time.

The GizmoPal by LG sells for $79.99, and is available exclusively from Verizon Wireless. More Everything customers can add the GizmoPal to their existing accounts for an additional $5 monthly access fee, and, for a limited time, customers purchasing the GizmoPal will have the activation fee waived.
