Radio

If your loved one values simplicity, a radio could be the perfect gift. There are many charming modern models available that blend simple, user-friendly design, retro aesthetics, and innovative new features into one: think classic analogue and DAB options alongside Bluetooth compatibility.  Many modern radios are even portable, ready to be enjoyed on the go.

eReader

If they’re a book lover who prefers simplicity over numerous tablet apps, consider gifting them an eReader. These small, lightweight devices can hold entire libraries, making them ideal for reading while travelling or on the move. Better still, they have simple designs that anyone can get to grips with—no technical expertise required.

Gifts for the gamer

If your loved one is an avid gamer, it might seem like they already own everything. However, there are many gaming-related gifts you can give them for a much-appreciated level-up this Christmas.

Gaming headset

From RPG warriors to FPS fanatics, one thing all gamers share is their love for immersion. And what better way to delve into the world of the latest game than with a quality gaming headset to be fully immersed? There are many headset options available, featuring noise-cancelling, RGB lighting, and even customised versions featuring their favourite character.

Keyboard

The PC gamer in your life might already own a keyboard—but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t value an upgrade. There are endless keyboard options out there, from eye-catching RGB lighting to mechanical keys with a smooth feel and satisfying click.

Gaming chair

No matter which console your gamer prefers, comfort is key. Consider gifting them a new gaming chair that not only looks stylish with colourful, sleek designs but also offers ergonomic support through adjustable features.

Gifts for the social media star

If you have a social media enthusiast in your life, why not influence your gift-giving with some tech they’ll love?

Ring light

Ring lights are a classic; they provide ideal lighting for selfies, vlogging, or recording those trendy TikTok dances. A variety of options are available, from smaller, more casual rings that clip onto phones to larger, tripod-style setups.

Instant photo printer

Instant photo printers make ideal gifts for the sentimental. If your loved one constantly captures moments on their smartphone, they’ll likely appreciate the chance to print photos via a Bluetooth-connected app. Various types of instant photo printers are available, allowing you to select one that best matches their style. For those obsessed with a retro look, you could gift an Instax printer so they can print Fujifilm photos directly from their phone.

Gifts for the Apple enthusiast

If they always have the latest Apple upgrade and have an impressive ecosystem of all Apple products, chances are your loved one is an Apple enthusiast. Why not gift them some Apple accessories that will seamlessly integrate with the devices they love?

MagSafe charger

The Apple lover in your life likely needs some help keeping all their devices charged. So why not gift them with the most valuable gift of all: a way to keep all their devices charged. MagSafe chargers provide fast wireless charging via magnetic contact. The Nimble Podium offers a sleek, aesthetic charging point for up to three Apple devices—a practical gift that also looks good.

AirTag

AirTags are handy little trackers that can be attached to any valuables: they connect to Apple accounts and are easy to locate via an app. If you’re giving an AirTag to your loved one, you could personalise it with engravings of their initials or even an emoji.

HomePod mini

The HomePod mini makes for the perfect, compact gift. These mini speakers deliver 360-degree audio, seamless integration with Apple devices, and the beloved Siri smart assistant built in. With five colour options, why not gift a HomePod mini in their favourite colour this Christmas?
