Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide 2019

Fetch a gingerbread latte and a mince pie, it’s time to delve into our 2019 Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide…

Lavazza Deséa Coffee Machine (£199)

Put simply, the Lavazza Deséa is the finest A Modo Mio coffee machine yet. The simplicity of an all-in-one coffee & milk operation is a time saving joy first thing on Christmas morning and the quality is outstanding - plus here’s a frother design that loves non-dairy milks too. Not to neglect to mention the slimline profile which will neatly fit upon just about any worktop.


Dyson V11 Absolute (£599)

The Dyson V11 intelligently puts the user experience at the forefront to make cleaning a greater pleasure on Boxing Day. Additions like an LCD display readout, automatic self adaptive floor cleaning, the masterly High Torque cleaner head and 1hr plus battery life mean you’ll tire before the V11 does. This feature-rich list, combined with the athletic power on hard-floors and carpets, confirms the Dyson V11 as the definitive cleaner of the post-corded era.


Handpresso Auto Capsule (£199)

If you crave some real coffee on route to the in-laws, as opposed to their insulting instant offering. Then the Handpresso Auto Capsule which provides a leisurely approach to making espresso in the comfort of your car, might be for you. With improved digitised controllability, a faster extraction time and gorgeously flavoursome espresso results, it’s easily our favourite Handpresso release yet!


Havwoods Trekker Composite Decking (Starting from £100M²)

Well, we still cannot believe just how good our Trekker decking from Havwoods looks - it has transformed our overgrown and rather murky piece of rough land into a truly sophisticated outdoor space, with its remarkably realistic textured wood grain effect incorporated within the solid nature of the Trekker material and the exceptionally exclusive grey vulcan colour. When the decking is wet you can move around with absolute confidence because it really is anti-slip, but the other pleasing thing is that it dries very quickly. It is easy to brush clean if necessary, or can be washed off without fuss. Basically it is maintenance-free and ready for use at anytime and we could not do other than honestly recommend Havwoods Trekker decking for ease of use and quality of finish.


simplehuman 58L Voice Activated Dual Compartment Sensor Bin (£249) 

It's a wonderful thing when technology truly helps with an everyday task, and with the simplehuman Voice Activated Dual Compartment Recycling Sensor Bin the tech is also helping and encouraging us to improve the environment - all wrapped up within a very stylish appearance and a decent 5 year guarantee.

Nintendo Switch (£279)

New ideas and real innovations are bubbling out of the Switch, both from the hardware and its series defining game titles. The modular Joy Con controllers are the essential ingredient to its design, uniting the top notch hardware within the console as a persuasive at home experience that’s equally as compelling on the move. We think that the Nintendo Switch will boldly influence how the next generation of game consoles will look and function.


TicWatch Pro Smartwatch (£214)

The TicWatch Pro is sincere in its modernist inner design, featuring a heart rate sensor, GPS & NFC; and that outward classical styled charm that exudes an assured posture surrounding the joy to behold OLED display. All this working together to fuse, rather favourably, a richer user experience from a maturing Wear OS. Importantly it tags along and into the digital lifestyle from a smartphone; although it can be independently minded - albeit with Wi-Fi access.


SACKit TOUCHit Headphones (£199)

These are sophisticated and eager ear pleasers with impressive performances across our vast catalogue of genres. For £199 they offer the full potential of wireless Bluetooth 4.0 and a no compromise ANC.


Final E4000 Earphones (£149)

Premium aluminium houses rock solid audio performances that won’t pale to reverberations under full volume. Not to neglect mention of an entertaining silky sound style which dissects audible elements to deliver eager clarity that will flatter your entire music library.

Samsonite Spark SNG ECO (£195)

It’s admirable that Samsonite have crafted a range of luggage options with strict eco credentials. There’s no downsides from use of recycled plastic bottles implemented into top quality finishes and overall build. It’s a practical cabin friendly option that a solo traveller will find has plenty of useable space and compartments to keep things organised and easily accessible.
