The holiday season isn’t on the horizon anymore, it’s here! Everyday you haven’t sorted out those gifts is a day closer to potentially missing shipping deadlines and winding up with nothing under the tree or inside of the stocking.
Thankfully, WINX has a product for just about everyone in the family, as well as everything you could want too. Combine this with the quality and the great pricing WINX has become known for, and you have a winner.
The WINX catalogue is available across South Africa at retailers already, but today we picked some key items to highlight. The criteria? Keeping the kids busy and happy (and ideally quiet) during their long school breaks.
For gaming
If you haven’t been keeping an eye on the gaming world, the price of accessories like controllers can be a bit of a shock. Official, first-party controllers often cost well over a thousand rand (yes, really) – and the premium ones climb even higher (still yes, really).
Luckily, brands like WINX are here to save the day. The WINX GAME Supreme Controller for Android & PC delivers everything you’d expect from a quality gaming controller, without the eye-watering price tag. It’s comfortable, well-built, and has all the buttons needed to tackle everything from racing games to adventures and party titles.
And while Android gaming often gets overlooked, it’s a perfect fit for families. Kids are already at home on tablets and phones, and there’s no shortage of great games to play. Add a proper controller to the mix and suddenly screen time becomes more engaging, more social, and a lot more fun – without blowing the holiday budget.
Many accessible controllers fall short – hampered by wired-only connections, tiny batteries, missing features like rumble, or clumsy, conflicting pairing methods. This controller avoids all of those pitfalls. It offers stable wireless connectivity up to 10 metres, a 600mAh battery delivering up to eight hours of play, responsive haptic feedback, and support for up to four WINX GAME Supreme Controllers connected simultaneously.
Packed with features and aggressively priced, it’s possible to fully kit out a four-player setup for less than the cost of a single first-party controller – yes, really.
For staying charged up
While the holiday season is once again staying lit up thanks to a lack of loadshedding, a loss of power to everyone’s devices is still a common occurrence while on holiday. Busy days out, road trips, flights, and sightseeing all mean fewer plug points – and nothing kills the vibe faster than a phone or tablet dying mid-entertainment (especially when a small human is involved).
The WINX GO Fast 2 10000mAh Power Bank packs serious power into a compact, travel-friendly design. As the name suggests, it delivers a full 10000mAh capacity – but it’s how that power is delivered that really sets it apart.
First, it’s fast. With 22.5W fast-charging technology, long, tethered charging sessions are a thing of the past. Plug in, power up, and get back to your day with a meaningful boost in minutes rather than hours.
Second, it’s built to share. With three output ports – two USB and one Type-C – you can charge up to three devices at once. No more negotiations, no more arguments, and no more deciding who gets the power bank first.
Thirdly, WINX has packed in more features without raising the price. Track the power bank level with the built-in LCD screen, take it with you overseas thanks to its small size and air travel safety specs and find a charging cable to charge the power bank when needed, included in the box giving you everything in one.
The result? Fewer dead devices, fewer meltdowns, and more time enjoying the holiday – exactly how it should be.
For keeping the music (or the silence) going
Whether it’s keeping the kids entertained with music and podcasts, following GPS directions without blasting them through the car, or just enjoying a little peace and quiet, WINX has a range of wireless headphones to suit every traveller – all with noise cancellation to help you tune in or tune out when you need to.
If you’re a fan of the classic over-ear style, the WINX VIBE Pure Hybrid ANC Headphones are an easy pick. They wrap comfortably around your ears, block out the world, and just keep going – perfect for long drives, flights, or poolside lounging with your favourite playlist. They charge quickly, feel light on your head, and are ideal for anyone who prefers a familiar, comfy fit (yes, including parents who’ve been wearing headphones since “back in the day”).
More of an earbuds family? No problem – WINX has options there too.
The WINX VIBE Active 2 Hybrid ANC Earbuds are a simple, go-anywhere choice. Pop them in, hit play, and enjoy hours of listening, with the charging case keeping them topped up between stops. They’re great for hands-free calls, quick touch controls, and staying connected while moving through airports, markets, or hotel corridors.
Prefer something a little sleeker? The WINX VIBE More Adaptive ANC Earpods come in a stylish silver finish with the familiar stem-style design. They’re comfortable, easy to control, and built to handle a bit of sweat or splashing – ideal for sightseeing, beach walks, or chasing kids around.
Just like WINX controllers make multiplayer gaming easy, WINX headphones let every family member enjoy their own audio. That means calmer car rides, quieter flights, and fewer “can you turn that down?” moments – making holidays more enjoyable for everyone.
