The Nintendo Switch is a universal hit, but why not improve on (near) perfection and go bigger and brighter this year - hello OLED model. Oh and you’ll never have to deal with the original Switch’s god-awful kickstand again. 📸: Nintendo 3/8 wired.trib.al/GVwjnZ2
But if you’re looking to blow someone's socks off on a budget, the JBL Go 3 Bluetooth speaker is always a winner. It produces loud, quality sound, and we reckon it’s tough enough to survive a few tumbles. 📸: JBL 4/8 wired.trib.al/7rJVHfS
For the photographer in your life, the Hasselblad 907X anniversary edition kit would be the ultimate stocking stuffer. It has a control grip and a viewfinder, but is also on the pricier side of things. 📸: Hasselblad 5/8 wired.trib.al/8cGM7eD
Would it even be Christmas without a box of LEGO? Aimed at young adults 14+ and designed to improve finger dexterity, LEGO Marvel The Guardians’ Ship has 1,901 pieces in the box, making it the perfect family fireside pursuit. 📸: LEGO 6/8 wired.trib.al/fokufmM
Finally, for the person who has everything, how about a pencil made of brass that could cut it in outer space. 📸: Wingback 7/8 wired.trib.al/SpvfxO3
