Hasta La Gadget!

Welcome to Engadget’s holiday gift guide for 2012! You’ve heard a thousand times how stressful this season is — and we’re not gonna lie, tech gift-giving is no cinch this year. With the recent arrival of Windows 8, there are a myriad of laptops, tablets and hybrids to choose from, and you’re not getting off easy when it comes to other devices, either. A year’s worth of stellar new smartphones, 4K TVs, gaming consoles and everything in between are ready to compete for your hard-earned dough. Sound daunting enough? Well, never fear, because we’re here to guide you through the gadget storm with our curated collection of top products. And we want to reward you for doing your research: in partnership with AT&T, we’ll be giving away one smartphone for each guide. (Look for instructions in each new post.) For now, click on over to our available category pages, and stay tuned for those to come — identified by a faded link for now.

You have to admit, this was a great way to start off the week, and it’s just as enjoyable to finish it off this way as well. The fifth day of our five-day giveaway campaign is coming to a close, but not before we hand out one final prize to a lucky winner: a gift card good for the price of one iPhone 5 at full retail price. This comes to us courtesy of Heatma.ps, a Polish startup that created the first heat map analysis of mobile apps. Heat mapping can certainly come in handy for developers who are trying to figure out the best way to enhance their app’s UI experience. So take a peek at the link above and — while you’re here — make sure to enter this week’s contests, okay?

Yes, this week just keeps getting better and better, as we have yet another iPhone 5 to send your way. This time, the phone comes with a pair of rugged cases, and it’s all thanks to Otterbox, which has made a rather large name for itself over the years by offering peace of mind to accident-prone customers. The winner of this contest will have both a Defender and Commuter case to use with their new prized possession, which is nice since different situations may require different types of protection. Anyway, scope out the rules and leave a comment below to enter — and remember, all of our other contests are still running right now, so don’t forget to hop over to enter those ones as well!

Day one has come and gone, but we are just twenty percent of the way through our weeklong mission to give out five iPhones. Today’s contest is made possible by Tanga, an e-tailer known for offering tech magazine subscriptions on the cheap as well as closeout prices on just about anything you can think of. Tanga is hooking the lucky winner up with an Apple gift card with enough credit to cover the no-contract cost of an iPhone 5, which means you have more flexibility in choosing a carrier. So head below, read the rules and leave a comment to enter again! You have until Saturday to get your entry in, but the longer you wait, the easier it is to forget — believe us, that happens to us all the time. (At least, we think it does.)
