These days, a new phone or laptop doesn’t quite cut it when it comes to gifts for tech lovers, with fitness, kitchen, beauty, and music gadgets ranking high on shopping wishlists nowadays — especially post-2020, when the phrase “being left to your own devices” took on a whole new meaning. Between voice-activated lightbulbs and self-heating ceramic mugs, gadgets are getting progressively smarter, helping us fulfil even the easiest of daily tasks and letting us live our best lazy lives. Now, as the festive season edges ever closer, there’s no better time to give loved ones a convenient tech gift that could help make their day-to-day lives a little simpler (I’m personally eyeing up one of those robot vacuums).

Below, you’ll find my top picks for the latest innovations and most sought-after gadgets. The items below cover a range of interest areas – food, fitness, beauty, music, and more – and hopefully they’ll be something for every price bracket, too. So get buying before the Christmas rush hits.
