If you’re a good little elf you will have already started making your list, and now you’re checking it twice. If not never fear, we have 7 great gadgets for any tech head this Christmas.
Fitbit Charge 3 – $229.95
There seems to be a new Fitbit every year, but for people who are into their gadget and fitness this is always a winner.
The new Fitbit Charge 3 is now waterproof and can automatically detect when you’re swimming laps. It can also measure your heartrate, track your sleep and fitness activities and now can make payments with Fitbit Pay!
Coming in a range of different colours, this fitness tracker starts at $229.95
Google Home Hub - $219
The Google Home Hub is next addition to Google’s Smart Home range, following on rom the Google Home and Google Home Mini.
The difference with the Home Hub is that it has a large screen to display things like the weather, maps, calendar, recipes and anything really.
This is a great gift for those who love the idea of a smart home, especially if they have wifi enabled lights, or just someone who is desperately lonely.
Google is running a promotion throughout December which will knock $20 off the price.
Vector Robot by Anki - $449
The Vector Robot is a cute little robot that kind of looks like a bulldozer…but tiny.
Vector is a robot sidekick powered by AI so he can interact with you and his surroundings. He’ll answer your questions, take photos, set a timer and be super cute. He can take himself back for charging, navigate around objects and avoid edges.
He’s an expensive and probably unnecessary toy, but that’s what makes a great gift right?

These are not a cheap gift, but they are fantastic!
These are true wirless ear buds that don’t compromise on quality of sound. These lightweight, splash resistant ear buds come in 4 different ear tip sizes, ergonomically designed for the perfect fit.
