• The Most Stylish Tech Gifts

Christmas is very nearly here and, despite all those good intentions you may have harboured back in November, you probably haven’t finished gift shopping yet. Some people are just harder to buy for than others, and particularly stylish friends/sisters/girlfriends definitely fall into that category. How do you please someone who’s constantly ahead of the curve? We’ve decided to go down the electronics route, and pull together the gifts that are both sartorially and  technologically sharp – after all, how many trendsetters do you know that aren’t on Instagram or constantly on their phone? Here’s what we’d love to find under the tree…

Frends Oil Slick Taylor Headphones
Frends are known for making the most beautiful headphones around, and their latest arrivals do not disappoint. They’ve revamped their bestselling Taylor and Layla models with iridescent caps inspired by the shifting colours in an oil slick. Made with real leather, with a three button mic, they’re practical and comfortable but feel as stylish as a piece of statement jewellery. And if you really want to treat them, you can add on a pair of interchangeable rose gold caps.

Fujifilm Share SP-1 Printer
Available from Urban Outfitters, this nifty little printer takes just 16 seconds to print out a high quality, polaroid style hard copy of your phone photos. Perfect for channelling 90s nostalgia, without abandoning twenty-first technology whatsoever, it’s even small enough to pop in your handbag.

Photojojo Lens Series
Photojojo is a brand to watch for iPhone shutterbugs. Our pick of their smartphone accessories is this set of pro-quality lenses, which make it easy to take fisheye, super fisheye, telephoto, wide angle, macro and polarized shots straight from your phone. They work with any iPhone, iPad, blackberry or MacBook … basically any device with a lens, because the add-on lenses simply attach and detach themselves via their magnetic metal rim. Perfect for the avid Instagrammer.

Stella McCartney, Grey Shark iPhone 5 Case
The novelty phone case trend is going nowhere next year, and this brand new Stella McCartney design definitely has bite. It also comes in bubble-gum pink, but we prefer this more anatomically correct shade of grey. With teeth marks across the top, 3D finds and discreet logo lettering, it’s cartoony without being OTT.

Givenchy Bambi Print iPad Mini Sleeve
One of Givenchy’s most popular prints has leapt onto iPhone and iPad covers just in time for Christmas. With a simple sleeve design and a black background, this is guaranteed to keep fans of Ricardo Tisci very happy indeed. And it won’t look out of place at Fashion Week either – an impressive feat for a tablet case.

Selfie stick, available pretty much anywhere
Yes, it’s laughably cheesy. But for travellers this is ingenious – it saves you having to ask strangers to take your photo, and means you can take pictures together instead of each other. And it’ll make life impossibly easy for those who like to document their #OOTD.
