The tool is said to empower gift givers and receivers alike with its “surprisingly specific, curated playlists that spell out what tech products [customers] want for the holidays,” a Verizon spokesperson told Digital Trends. Using the Holiday Hintlists is quite straightforward. You’ll need to head over to the specially dedicated website, and then select the gift you want (of course, they’re all from Verizon). The list spans smartphones, smartwatches, and connected home devices, including the Samsung Galaxy S8, Google Home, UE Boom 2, Nest Learning Thermostat, Google Pixel 2, Moto Z2 Force, Fitbit Charge 2, Canary Flex security system, and Samsung Gear S3 Classic.
Once you’ve made your selection, you’ll be provided with a unique hintlist, which you can share on all your social channels. And if you’re not totally satisfied with the playlist, much like a gift, you can exchange it — there are apparently “hundreds of curated playlists” that can be used to drop hints about exactly what you want. New playlists will continue to be added throughout the last month of 2017, and feature songs with names like “Z2” and “Samsung S8,” so you can be particularly pointed about what it is that you want.
“The activation is based on the insight that millennials, who are obsessed with sharing music playlists, actually create and share more of them during the holiday season,” a Verizon spokesperson noted. So go ahead — whether you’re trying to say something meaningful, or just trying to say what you really want under the tree, say it with song.
