Black Friday is approaching fast, and Christmas is coming soon afterwards. We’ve already prepared our holiday ranges, so take a look at some of our favourite Christmas gadget gift ideas below. Whether you’re looking for fun toys for kids or proper gadgets for all ages, we’re sure to have something for you. Take a look and let us know what you think!
5. Sphero Star Wars BB-8 Smartphone Controlled Robotic Ball
Sphero’s robotic smartphone-controlled balls have always been fun to play around with, but the BB-8 model adds a ton of new tricks. The movement is absolutely spot-on compared to the film version, and the droid’s autonomous behaviour makes it feel very much alive. It can patrol the house, respond to voice commands, show ‘holograms’ and generally amuse kids and adults alike.
4. Kitvision Escape HD5 Action Video Camera
If you’re doing anything cool, then you should probably film it with this action camera. Its video quality and durability is on par with a GoPro, but this is a lot cheaper. It comes with a waterproof case, a 120 degree wide angle lens, a 1.5-inch LCD plus three mounting options: a tripod mount, a bicycle handlebar mount and a strap mount for helmets. Everything you need, all in one box.
3. Nanoleaf Aurora Smarter LED Modular Lighting Panel Kit
The Nanoleaf Aurora is something different — a set of modular LED lighting panels, which can be joined together to form unique, modern arrangements. Once in place, you can control the colour and intensity of each panel separately, or choose a gorgeous rainbow effect over multiple panels. The app is easy to use and integrates with Siri, so you can simply ask Siri to ‘set my Aurora to Blue’ and get the change within seconds. The panels themselves are easy to set up, with drill-free installation throughout.
2. Emie Vintage Radio-Style Wooden Bluetooth Speaker
This Bluetooth speaker with retro styling has long caught my eye. It pulls off the old-school radio look with gorgeous wood and a white plastic panel, and delivers sonically as well with rich and surprisingly loud audio. The speaker comes with a 3.5mm input for older devices and a 520mAh battery that goes for six hours of music playback between charges.
1. Micro Drone 3.0 with remote controls & camera
You don’t have to spend thousands of pounds to get a drone with a built-in camera and a proper remote control. The Micro Drone 3.0 costs just £150, and comes with everything you need to try drone flying and photography. There’s an HD camera for capturing your flights, a VR headset for a first person viewpoint and modular components for easy repairs. If you want a good introduction to drone flying and filming that won’t cost you an arm and a leg, this is a great shout.
