Checking out the latest and greatest in televisions is something my husband and I both enjoy doing.  Every time a larger TV comes out, or there’s an introduction of new technology, we inevitably find ourselves at the store to browse.  While I love shopping online, sometimes you just want to see that big, beautiful screen in all it’s glory.

This graduation gifts guide is brought to you by Microsoft and SocialMoms. All thoughts and words are my own.
