Smart GlassesFor the person who spots something brilliant just as their phone disappears to the bottom of a bag, smart glasses offer a different way to capture the moment. The pairs featured here combine a camera, open-ear speakers and voice controls in wearable frames. Start with their style and lens needs, then choose everyday Wayfarers or a sport-focused Oakley pair.
Gift Idea
Travel Cable OrganiserA cable organiser is a useful gift for someone who carries charging leads and small accessories between home, work or trips. These are empty pouches: choose the layout around the things they already own, then check the complete pack before buying.
Gift Idea
Gaming LaptopA gaming laptop is a premium tech gift for someone who wants PC games, creative work, school or university use, and portability in one machine.
Gift Idea
Kids’ SmartwatchA kids’ smartwatch can give children games, alarms, step counting, cameras, music, or simple call features in a more playful wearable format.
Gift Idea
E-ReaderFor a reader whose holiday packing starts with a difficult argument about books, an e-reader is a lovely way to make room for another story. Choose around where they already buy or borrow books, then consider screen size, colour and lighting. A compact black-and-white Kindle can be a better match for novels than a more elaborate colour device.
Gift Idea
Smart SpeakerA smart speaker is a practical tech gift for music, timers, reminders, smart home control, video calls, or quick everyday questions.
Gift Idea
Retro Gaming Console“Retro console” can mean three different gifts: something to put in a pocket, a miniature arcade for a desk, or a machine to connect to the living-room TV. Start with where they would play, then look at the games and accessories.
Gift Idea
SmartwatchA smartwatch is a useful gift when its features fit the recipient’s phone and habits. Check those first: a wrist notification, a call answered on the watch and a call made without a phone nearby are different things.
Gift Idea
Science Fiction BookStart with the stories they already love, rather than treating all science fiction as space battles. These English paperbacks span literary exploration, dystopian questions, first contact and a classic galactic empire, giving you different ways to match the reader.
Gift Idea
Fitness Tracking SmartwatchA watch can make a favourite walk or training session more interesting when the numbers are something the recipient enjoys. The useful choice is less about cramming features onto a wrist and more about their phone, activities and willingness to charge another device.
