Hot Tech Gift Alert: Mavic Mini Drone (Almost as Light as a Smartphone)

Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

Avid traveler, outdoor adventurer, budding YouTube (or Tik Tok) star, tech toy fanatic; chances are someone on your holiday gift list wants a drone. If you’ve researched drones in the past, you might have been put off by the high prices, or had safety concerns, or found them too complicated.

This year, there’s a new ultralight, portable and affordable option: the Mavic Mini Drone from DJI and at $399 it might just be the hottest tech toy gift of the season!

Mavic Mini is almost as light as the average smartphone. This makes it super portable and places it in the low and safe weight class of drones. Best Buy has sponsored this gift guide to let you know it’s available for pre-order now.

The DJI Mavic Mini is recommended for ages 16 and up, making it a super cool gift idea for just about any creative, active and tech-loving teenager or adult. It’s a fun family gift with simplified recording and editing features. It even lets you generated short video and share it instantly with friends on social media.

The DJIFly app can help you find popular, scenic shooting locations near you. And, because it’s so lightweight, it can stay in the air longer than similar consumer FlyCams on the market. Enjoy up to 30 minutes of flight time with a fully-charged battery. Did I mention that it’s foldable?

It’s got so many cool features and photos don’t really do it justice, so watch this quick video to see it in action and learn more.

If you’re looking for a fun and exciting tech toy gift this year, or want to treat yourself,  get it by the Nov 11 release date when you order now at BestBuy.com.

We’ve been long-time fans of the tasty cookies and treats from the fine folks at Three Dog Bakery, and could not feel better about recommending their holiday treats as a GREAT gift idea for any dog on your list! Not only do they use high quality, human-grade ingredients and bake their goodies right here in the USA, Three Dog Bakery folks put a whole lot of thought into the design and packaging of each item. So nice when you are searching for something special and unique! Plus, they taste so yummy that I’ve been known to steal a few cookies for myself (true story!).
