The holiday season is upon us once again, so it's time to get to thinking about just what to get that special someone. If you have other BlackBerry users in your family we'll help take the thinking out of your holiday shopping this year. We've scoured the BlackBerry universe for the best accessories, apps and gadgets for the BlackBerry user in your family and have compiled them into our collection of Holiday Gift Guides for 2012.
The first guide is all about dad. I'm a dad so I have a bit of experience in buying gifts (mostly for myself) and I know just what other BlackBerry-using dads need. No matter if the dad you're buying for is a workaholic, traveler or stay-at-home, we have just the right things to bring a smile to his face this holiday season. You can always check out the great accessories at ShopCrackBerry to find just what you're looking for. Keep reading to check out our full list of gifts for the BlackBerry dad!
Gifts for the BlackBerry Dad
BlackBerry PlayBook
This one is really a no-brainer. If your dad doesn't yet have a BlackBerry PlayBook (or a tablet at all) then buy him one!! You can grab them pretty cheap now at many electronics or office supply stores in your area, or grab one online from Amazon in 16GB, 32GB or 64GB varieties. If you really want to show dad you care, why not grab a 4G LTE PlayBook!.
BlackBerry Music Gateway
The BlackBerry Music Gateway is a great, inexpensive gift for dad this year. This little guy allows you to wirelessly stream music from any Bluetooth enabled device to a home or car stereo system. Just plug it in with the included 3.5mm jack, pair it to your device (by NFC if you'd like) and you're set! Play Music on your phone and it will steam right to the BlackBerry Music Gateway from up to 30ft away.
BlackBerry HS-500 Bluetooth Headset

BlackBerry Soft Shell Case
The BlackBerry Soft Shell case is still one of our favorites. It comes in a variety of colors so you can find one that fits dad's style just right. Or you can just buy more than one so he can coordinate on the fly. The soft shell case covers the back and sides of your device protecting it from daily bumps and bruises. It has open ports so you can still access the headphone and charging jacks and it's easily removable. Availalbe for most devices.
OtterBox Defender
If you want to give dad that extra protection for his BlackBerry, the OtterBox Defender is the way to go. This case will keep his device safe and sound through all kinds of trouble. It adds a bit of bulk to the phone, but when he drops it on the pavement with no injuries he'll be thanking you. It has two layers of protection so you know his BlackBerry will be safe and sound through the daily grind.

BlackBerry Charging Pods
Slacker Premium Radio
Dads are always on the go, so what better gift than a Slacker Premium Radio subscription? With Slacker, dad can take all of his music, sports and news with him everywhere he goes. Slacker premium is ad-free and will give dad access to hundreds of music stations, sporting events, news & talk channels, music on demand and much more. You can get him started for just $9.99/month.
Pattern Lock
Plants vs. Zombies
Nexia Home Automation
The Nexia system is still one of my favorite "geek out" setups. If your dad is a geek at heart, you can't go wrong with this one. The Nexia system lets you connect a thermostat, door lock, door & window sensors, cameras, lights and more to your home and easily control them online or from your phone. Check out our original review of the Nexia system then head over to Amazon and get shopping!
Here's wishing you and yours a safe and happy Holiday Season, from all of us at CrackBerry.com

CrackBerry Holiday Gift Guide - Gifts for the BlackBerry Music Lover
As a music lover, my media library is what keeps me focused and motivated throughout the day. I admit I tend to obsess over bass levels, clarity of distinctive background noise, and vocal quality. If the sound is just slightly off, I won't be able to concentrate. That is why during this holiday season, what better way to break open those piggy banks than by treating the music enthusiast...
