Digital Keychain - £9.99 from www.firebox.com
The Secret Santa craze has grown in popularity over recent years and is now commonplace in offices, schools and factory floors across the nation.
This week, we’ve scoured the virtual shelves to ensure that your offering is well received by your colleagues and yet still remains within that strict budget.
Passport Photo – Digital Photo Keychain – £9.99 from www.firebox.com
When plugged into a USB port, this slim gadget allows you to drag images from your PC or Mac, displaying them on the 1.5-inch screen. Available in four colours and with space for up to 100 images, it can also be set to slideshow mode. It’s a great way to show off all those pictures stored on your mobile phone or digital camera.
Old-school – Retro iPhone Cases – £9.95 from www.red5.co.uk
Feel like you couldn’t live without your multitasking smartphone yet still hanker after a simpler time? Then cover your iPhone 4/4s with one of these hard-shell retro-style calculator or camera cases and reminisce at the low-tech times of years gone by.
Fun Sums – Calculator Watch – £9.99 from www.geniegadgets.com
It’s hard to believe that it was way back in 1975 that the world was first shown one of these calculator watches, leaving school examiners aghast at how they might be policed for the next school term. But they’re back again. In a range of bold colours, they have an eight-digit calculator mode, alarm function and keytone – pure old-school nostalgia.
Beat Bonce – iHat MP3 Headphone Hat – £10.95 from www.prezzybox.com
The coming together of practical and stylish is right here. Put on this beanie-style hat, with speakers positioned either side of the head, plug in the jack to your music-playing device’s 3.5mm socket, and you can listen to your favourite tunes while protecting your ears from the chills.
Ball Of Confusion – 20Q V3 – £9.95 from www.prezzybox.com
Any recipient of this handheld mystical sphere will continue to annoy you about how impressive it is for months to come. Respond to the clever orb’s 20 questions with the ‘yes’, ‘no’, ‘sometimes’ or ‘unknown’ buttons and it will be able to tell you what is inside your mind – yes, really, it will!
Steady Hand – Addictaball – £6.99 from www.find-me-a-gift.co.uk
Not one to be attempted the morning after the night before, this moderately infuriating, highly challenging and wonderfully coloured 3D puzzle is more fun than watching the boss dance at the Christmas party. Just steer the ball through 360 degrees of puzzles and tracks and it’s sure to test your brain – and nerve – for hours on end.
