Got someone on your holiday shopping list who's a real character? Then you might find this gift guide from Verizon extremely helpful. From speakers to smartwatches to home security gadgets, there's something here for everyone's favorite Christmas characters.

The gift: Palm
Who would love it: Gonzo from The Muppets Christmas Carol
Why it's perfect: The Great Gonzo is always on the go (even in a cannon), so this compact, ultra-portable, Verizon exclusive goes places your smartphone can't. Clip it to your armband, slip into a fashionable wallet case, or show it off with a fancy wristlet. No matter how you carry it, the Palm is small in size but huge on style and revolutionizes the way you connect with the world.

The gift: Verizon GizmoWatch
Who would love it: Kevin McCallister from Home Alone
Why it's perfect: Any kid who's occasionally separated from their parents — but hopefully not left behind on vacation — could use this safety-focused 4G LTE smartwatch for kids. It tracks steps, displays notifications, and allows two-way communication with 10 designated contacts, and it's waterproof as well (take that, Wet Bandits). 

The gift: JBL Everest 
Who would love it: Julia Biggs from The Preacher's Wife
Why it's perfect: A lifelong singer can enjoy music and manage her household using Google Assistant, which is built-in these on-ear wireless headphones. Bonus: one charge gets you up to 20 hours of battery life.

The gift: Nest Hello video doorbell
Who would love it: Clark Griswold from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Why it's perfect: Got a slew of visitors coming this holiday season? See who is at the door even if you're not home with 24/7 HD streaming video and night vision capabilities.

The gift: JBL Link 300
Who would love it: Buddy from Elf
Why it's perfect: This Bluetooth speaker has Google Assistant built-in and can sync with Google Chromecast, meaning it's easier than ever to spread Christmas cheer by singing loud for all to hear.

Come in and browse your local Verizon store or check out all the giftable options online.
