Tis’ the season for shopping, and once again we’re providing you with a variety of gift ideas to be found throughout Columbus this holiday season. Every Thursday, we’re showcasing gift ideas at various stores. This week we’re focusing on electronics, gadgets and media.
1. Wexner Center Store – iPad
Chances are, you’ve got at least one person on your holiday shopping list that wants an iPad. Chances are, it might even be you that wants one. If that happens to be the case, but you don’t want to head into the madness at the mall to buy one, you can instead swing by the Wexner Center Store at OSU to pick one up. They’re an Authorized Apple Retailer, so they have a variety of Apple products available.
