The Christmas List of Tech Gifts
This gadget by Philips is amazing and when I've seen it I was hooked. It is a Health Watch that when worn it tracks heart rate, activity, sleep patterns , other health biometrics as well as the time. Philips has launched a range of Personal Health Programmes and this watch at £250.00 is a great gift for the health conscious person. www.philips.co.uk
I love this Red Lexon Peas Self Powered USB Hub from Gifts With Style. It is a lovely little gadget that is essential to virtually everyone who has got a computer. With laptops and desktops sporting only a couple of USB ports in sight, when we have to connect other devices or use a USB stick, USB ports are never enough. Even my mug warmer has got a USB, so you can imagine how this little gadget will be appreciated. It cost £ 19.95 and it is available also in Blue, Prussian Blue, Grey and White. It is self powered so no need to plug it anywhere when used, you can charge it at your computer. www.giftswithstyle.com
This is another accessory that with all our devices has become very useful. The Goji 2500 AMH portable charger in pink is compatible with most smartphones and tablets and you can find it at Currys. Its size is very slim so it can fit in any bag or pocket in order to keep your electrical devices always charged while on the go. The price at £ 9.99 makes it a perfect Secret Santa gift as well, maybe in a more toned down colour. It is available in blue and black as well and I'm sure it will be a very well received gift. www.currys.co.uk
Fans of Star Wars rejoice, ACW has brought this fantastic bluetooth speaker with the Stormtrooper helmet. The speaker is very high quality, with the eyes lighting up when switched on, the greeting message is made with the Stormtrooper typical voice. Features include powerful bass, subwoofer built in and it can be paired with another speaker for surround sound. At £149.00 this is a gift that I dare to think it will become a collectable item as well. Also from the Star Wars range you can choose C-3PO or Darth Vader. www.acworldwide.cool
Lovers of the Vinyl crackling sound now can go back in time with this Crosley Cruiser Turntable in a bright orange colour. Tesco is selling them fast given that priced at just over £ 60.00 this is a really great gift for who still owns old vinyl records as well as buying them new or second hands. It is final, vinyls are back and nothing can beat their sound. The Crosley Cruiser Turntable is portable and it can be easily stored, has got three speeds and built in speakers as well as a USB port and a headphone socket. www.tesco.com

If you prefer a bluetooth speaker in a smaller size head to John Lewis where you can find this Libratone ONECLICK Bluetooth Splash-Resistant Modular Portable Speaker in Caribbean Green. It has a nice handle to carry it around, a 360 degrees sound and being splash resistant it can be put in the garden, next to a swimming pool or while having a bath near the bath tub. Bluetooth and wireless you can take it with you but you can plug it in thanks to a 3.5mm jack for a wired connection. At £ 112.20 it is a fantastic gift and if green is not really your colour there are other two options available in cloud grey and graphite grey. www.johnlewis.com
