Trying to decide on that special gift for that "hard-to-buy-for" person on your holiday list? Epson has three gift ideas guaranteed to turn heads this year, from mega sharing, to mobile printing to one-of-a-kind digital creations.

Here are a few holiday ideas from Epson to make your gift-giving hassle-free:

Holiday Idea #1: Projecting Mega Memories

This holiday season set all of the content on your phone free by sharing it on a big screen indoors or out with the MegaPlex MG-50 ($719.00) combo projector. Equipped with a high-quality projector, stereo speakers and a built-in dock for iPod^®, iPhone^® and iPad^®, the MegaPlex makes it easy to project baby's first steps, family photo memories and even your favourite videos on a big wall, making for an unforgettable holiday occasion and "mega" memories that will last a lifetime. The MegaPlex is changing the way movies, gaming, slideshows, presentations, music, and more are shared - whether inside for a movie-like setting or even outdoors!

Holiday Idea #2: Printing Perfect Pictures

Nothing captures the moment like a photo, and the Epson Artisan 730 ($199.99) all-in-one ensures holiday photos are ready for sharing, gift-giving and more - from ornaments to greeting cards to personalized photo calendars and CDs/DVDs. In addition, holiday DIYers can print, scan and access memory card slots from any room in the house with Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ wireless networking¹ and built-in Ethernet networking. And with Epson Connect², a new portfolio of cloud and mobile services, even workaholics and users on-the-go can print documents and photos directly from any mobile device or tablet.

Holiday Idea #3: Holiday Labeling Frenzy

A little creativity and organization can go a long way for making it a frenzy-free holiday. The Epson LabelWorks LW-300 ($39.99) portable label printer is designed to help busy families stay organized and stress-free with extraordinary, professional looking labels for just about every holiday need. With a range of symbols, frames and fonts, as well as dozens of tapes in a variety of styles and colours, hearing "which box has the lights?" will be a thing of the past.
