The holiday season is underway, and we have the scoop on everything you need to spread the cheer.

3M WorkTunes Connect + Solar Hearing Protector
This is just an amazing gift for anyone who is around loud noise. At LifeMinute, we did a story about this: Extended exposure to noise over 85 decibels can be permanently damaging to our hearing but a lot of people don’t realize that even mowing the lawn, using power tools, or being on a loud job site can damage hearing over time. This first-of-its-kind product helps reduce noise to help lower the risk of preventable hearing loss, and continuously charges, using solar power, whether inside or outside, so you can take calls, stream music, and more using your Bluetooth connection. They have high fidelity speakers so primo sound quality, comfortable ear cushions, and are water resistant for DIYers, construction workers, or contractors in your life. Available on amazon.com for $169.99. Check out 3m.com/worktunes for more info.

Norton
Finally, shop smart this season. We’ve partnered with Norton to empower people to take time on Cyber Safety Sunday, December 1st, to prepare to shop online safely. Norton’s 2024 Holiday Cyber Safety Insights Report found that 30% of Americans have been targeted by a scam while holiday shopping online. Of those who fell victim, 30% say they were targeted on Black Friday, 11% on Cyber Monday, and 30% on Christmas. So, what can we do to stay safe? On Cyber Safety Sunday, you can take a few steps that go a long way: First, use strong, unique passwords across all your online accounts and enable multi-factor authentication. For better protection, use Norton Password Manager to help create and store passwords securely.

Next, use strong security on your devices, like Norton 360 Deluxe, to help protect your devices and online privacy. Do you ever wonder if a delivery notification or social media ad is legit? The Norton Genie app is a free AI-powered scam detector that can help you spot scams in seconds, whether a suspicious text, email, or social media message. Lastly, set up fraud alerts and consider identity theft protection like LifeLock to keep a lookout for your personal information and help restore your identity should you fall victim to identity theft.
