Apple AirPods (third generation)
A great gift for any music or pod-cast lovers in the family. The third-gen AirPods are redesigned and look very sleek. Some of the new features include better spatial audio, a longer-lasting charge, adaptive EQ, and a new design that’s a little closer to that of the AirPods Pro. They are the perfect gift for anyone you know who goes to the gym, or is constantly on the go for work, or loves to watch Tiktoks in bed late at night without disturbing everyone.
Hatch Restore2
This is a smart sound machine alarm clock, the perfect gift for late-night doom scrollers, chronic snoozers, or people who just cannot get to bed at a reasonable hour. The Hatch Restore2 alarm clock has a soft glow reading light (the perfect activity to quiet the mind and switch gears before bedtime) which is soothing as you’re relaxing. It also features soothing sounds and programmed guided meditations to prepare you to catch some Zs. The Sunrise Alarm offers a gentle wake up without the shock that smartphone alarms provide. Give the gift of peaceful sleep and a relaxing wake-up routine.
Bang and Olufsen Beosound A1 Wireless Speaker (2nd Gen)
Sticking with the sound theme, the second gen Bang and Olufsen wireless speaker is a must-have. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, as is Bang and Olufsen’s way, but it also delivers on the sound front, as you would expect any decent speaker to do. The dome-shaped speaker evenly disperses audio and fills the room with high-quality sound, unlike many other tinny portables. This little powerhouse is both dust and water-resistant and is lightweight, so it’s easy to take along with you wherever you’re headed. The battery lasts 18 hours on one charge, so you’ll never run out of tunes. Perfect for any music lovers who love to blast the beats out loud!
Bonsai Tree
This is a gift that you should only give to a responsible recipient, as Bonsais require lots of specialised care and, if looked after properly, live for generations. There are many different kinds of bonsai to choose from, and you can purchase them at many different stages of development. This is an ideal gift for an avid gardener or someone who spends most of their vacations in reasonably close proximity to their home. Bonsais flourish when lavished with attention and conversation (yes, you heard that right).
Masterclass
This one’s for the ones who love to learn a new skill, or start a new hobby. There are lots of masterclasses out there that suit the interests of the recipient, cooking classes for foodies, trading classes for someone interested in forex trading or crypto, dance classes for anyone looking to boogie around the Christmas season. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love an opportunity to learn something new? Have a browse online and see what you can find.
Oculus Quest 3
This one is for the gamer in the family. The Oculus 3 independent VR headset will blow the mind of even the most seasoned gamer. Independent means that no pesky cables are attaching you to your PC. There’s no loss of power due to the headset being wireless: the gaming experience that it offers is still incredibly immersive, and the library of titles that the headset can play is ever-growing. The Oculus 3 also provides you with the option to connect to a PC and play PC-only games.
Challenge coins
How about some challenge coins for gamers to bring an avid fan many more hours of fun!
