This voice-controlled smart speaker plays music and podcasts from Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer – or any of the other major music streamers.

A safe spot for your giftee’s most cherished headphones. The metal base adds lots of stability, but we are big fans of the silicone top that keeps the cans securely in place when they’re not in use when gaming or listening to music. The circular stand has walled edges, so it’s ideal for keeping any rogue wires contained, too.

Phones and tablets are great – but the lack of a physical keyboard isn’t ideal when you need to type a quick email or get some work done while travelling. The K380s is one of our go-to wireless keyboards. Your giftee can pair three devices at the same time, type on the well-spaced circular keys and the battery lasts for up three years.

Throwing AirPods in a laptop backpack? We’d recommend investing in a quality case. The Spigen Rugged Armor can take a few hits: it has shock absorption construction and a carbon fibre-inspired design, plus there’s a carabiner to hook it on a bag, too.

We love the Pixel 7, but we found during our tests that it’s slippery to hold without a case. This Bellroy Leather Case is one of the most stylish we’ve seen, especially in the terracotta colour. It’s also available in black, blue, green and limestone – you’re sure to find a version for your loved one. They’re available for the iPhone 14, too.
