3 UGREEN FINETRACK

Compatible with Apple’s ‘Find My’ service, this isn’t quite an AirTag – but it beats it on battery life, and can be had for as little as £9 if you’re lucky with pre-Christmas sale prices.

4 TAMAGOTCHI PARADISE

The classic formula of keeping a little digital creature alive has changed – now you’re selectively breeding 50,000 potential beasts and using their pixel poo to power sustainable space ships. Of course.

Count down to the 25th (every other day) with Disney’s questionably festive selection of 12 lightsaber hilts.

£90, disneystore.co.uk

Ostensibly built to inspire kids to export their creations (do they do that nowadays?), but appealing to quirky grown-ups, too, Sandisk’s USB-C collab with Crayola offers up to 256GB of storage and is made of something a bit more solid than wax.

From £13, sandisk.com

11 ATARI POCKET PLAYER PRO

Atari (or at least the Atari trademark) has hit its half-century, so here’s a big stack of classic games packed into an all-in-one player. Perfect to entertain folks of a similar vintage.

£50, myarcade.com

From £349, store.google.com

Gorgeous transparent design, nifty multilens camera, fancypants glyph interface, knock-down price. Perfectly positioned for a seasonal upgrade, Nothing’s mid-range spin on the Phone (3) is a great buy.

£449, nothing.tech

£500–£1,000

Impeccable in-ear engineering from the French speaker powerhouse in just about the most premium wireless buds around. Super-special hardware for that special someone.

£799, rog.asus.com

31 OONI KODA II MAX

Perhaps a little large to hide under the tree, given it has capacity to cook three 10in pizzas at once, but there’s no better upgrade to your patio than a top-notch oven.

Glorious turntable-friendly powered bookshelf speakers that turn any room into a listening room and look fine while doing it – just make sure you get the colour right.

£799, uk.kef.com

Perhaps the most surprising thing about the newest 13in MacBook Air is the price – that this amazing, quick, stylish laptop scrapes in at under £1,000 makes it an absolute steal.

£999, apple.com
