The holidays have a way of turning family time into mayhem. Kids are running in every direction, group chats are stacked with half-replies, and grown-ups like you are juggling a dozen moving parts. Verizon gets that, with thoughtful tech that brings families closer while taking a little pressure off parents. For younger kids in the "I want a smartphone!" era, the Verizon Gizmo Watch 3 is the perfect starter gift. It gives them a bit of independence without full-on screen immersion. Parents get real-time location monitoring, an SOS/emergency contact, and a parent-approved list of who they can call or text, while kids get a smartwatch that feels grown-up. (And no, social media or random apps are not included.) For a limited time, it's $75 off*! *Up to $149.99 purchase on service plan req'd. Less $75 promo credit applied over 36 mos.; promo credit ends if eligibility req's are no longer met; 0% APR. Promo credit(s) may not exceed featured device retail price.Offer ends 1/7/26. For the rest of the family, the Verizon Family app (plus the optional Verizon Family Plus upgrade) keeps the whole crew connected. One example: Family Line*, available with Verizon Family Plus, is a shared number that can ring up to five devices at once. It may sound retro, but it saves the day when the school nurse calls, grandparents check in, or travel plans go sideways. That's connection, calm, and cool gifts, all in one ecosystem. However you holiday, they've got you. |
