Best Buy is among the major retailers making suggestions of at last-minute gifts that will take the stress out of your holidays
"You try to stick with one size fits all," Jon Dubreil said.
Dubreil, manager of the Best Buy at the Avenues, said consumer electronics is an example of one size fits all.

He showed us a few items, among them the Ultimate Ears, a Bluetooth speaker ($37.99).
"You get one of these items and you can stream music from any of your mobile devices," he said.
Also popular in 2019, are the Apple Air Pods ($144.99) and the Nintendo Switch ($199.99) gaming system.

Also in the one size fits all categories are Smartwatches. The Active is made by Samsung ($149.99).
"The Active has been a real popular item for us all the way to Black Friday weekend," he said.
If you're a shutterbug, the Instax ($49.99) is a throwback to the Polaroid cameras
