Tech for women
I hate to play into gender stereotypes, but for the purpose of this gift guide, I’ve added tech gifts that I know myself and the women I know would love, and vice versa for men. However it’s worth noting that anyone tech-obsessed will love the gifts in both categories.
Beosound Balance, £2,250 at Bang & Olufsen
A wireless speaker with a dynamic acoustic performance designed to be positioned up against the wall on a shelf or side table in your home. Impressive sound compared to its size.
Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, £349.95 at Bose
These are by no means cheap, but I’ve had mine now for a couple of years and can guarantee they are worth every penny. Particularly good if you’re a nervous flyer like me to cancel out any unwanted noises.
All-new Echo Dot (4th generation), £59.99 at Amazon
The all new singing and dancing Echo Dot can do anything from being you alarm clock to a search engine (ask Alexa to play the news, check the weather) to controlling your smart home and making calls.
Tech gifts for men
If you’re unsure what to buy, then there are crowd-pleasers that will satisfy even the trickiest of customers. I’m thinking Apple iPads, fancy Bose speakers and Marshall headphones.
iPad Air 64GB, from £579 at Apple
The new iPad Air comes in an array of delicious colours, and can be personalised for free. The perfect Christmas present,
Smeg stand mixer, £450 at Selfridges
