The Ultimate Christmas Tech Guide 2023
It's safe to say that Christmas 2023 will be a little different than most years. With the cost of living constantly rising, we’re all being careful on what we spend our money on. But one thing’s for sure, we all want to do what we can to make sure Christmas is the best it can be under the current circumstances. It’s important for us to still show our family and friends how much we care. And a new gadget or device might be just the thing. If you'd like to cut the nonsense and go straight to our Christmas store (we know, you're busy), then take a look at our Christmas store here. Or, if you’re being careful with your money, check out our Christmas guide for gifts under £50 here.
To make it a little bit easier for you this year, we’ve put together a Christmas buying guide for 2023 based on who you’re buying for. Whether it’s the gamer in your life, the fitness enthusiast or the Apple fan who wants their iOS devices to pair seamlessly.
Warning: you may find something you want for yourself in here. You can either share this guide with friends and family or treat yourself. You deserve it.

Surprise a loved one with a fitness smartwatch that helps track steps, workouts, calories burned and more. You can also get the kids involved and make health a priority for the whole family. Sounds like fun!
