With less than a week until the most widely celebrated event of the year, you may be stuck for present ideas, and this year offers more gadget choice than ever before. Here's a lowdown on the bestsellers this Christmas, and what to get if you're in a panic:
Amazon Kindle
For a book lover who is yet to bag themselves a digital e-reader, an Amazon Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite or Kindle Fire is a must have, all sold at particularly low prices too. At just £70, 170 grams and with the ability to read in bright sunlight, the Kindle is the perfect gift this Christmas, and cheaper than ever before. Its huge selection of books, light weight and cheap price make it stand out against its other e-reader competitors such as the Nook and iPad Mini, justifying its place at the top end of the market. For game, music and movie fanatics, the Kindle Fire HD combines these elements with the book reading experience for a wider entertainment choice.
Samsung MV800
If you're looking for a digital camera for under £100 then the Samsung Multi-View camera has to be the one to get. With a full 16MP and 5x optical zoom, in addition to the 180 degree flippable 3 inch touchscreen LCD display, smartphone like user interface and easy addition of digital effects, this camera gives you fantastic value for money and makes the perfect gift for a photography lover, or for just a bit of fun.
LG Nexus 4 by Google
The Nexus 4 shapes up to be on par with the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3 on specs, with its price way below at just £239, or £26 a month on contract. It has an 8MP camera, Google Wallet for contactless payment, and over 700,000 apps on the Google Play store. And on top of these features, the Nexus 4 also includes panorama photos, HD video recording, Google Maps and Google Voice Search, allowing it to compete with the best smartphones available. So, if you're looking for a new, top end phone as a gift this Christmas but don't want to spend a crazy amount of money for it, then the Nexus 7 is the phone to buy - although they are currently out of stock (at time of writing) due to the huge demand.
WOWee ONEThe WOWee ONE is a quirky but clever speaker which vibrates the surface that its on to create sound instead of using conventional speakers. The Classic version is powered by a rechargeable battery, small enough to hold in the palm of your hand and is compatible with all iPods, iPhones and Blackberrys, and clocks in at an impressive, affordable, £50.
Apple iPad Mini
Despite criticism from many for being entirely useless, many find that the iPad Mini finds the perfect balance between laptop and mobile. At 7.9 inches diagonally and 308 grams, it is lighter and more smaller than previous iPad models, allowing easy portability from home to work, and is the perfect addition for your Macbook or laptop. And with a growing collection of the best tablet apps from the App store, and all the best iPad apps on the iPad Mini, all your giftee's music, business and game requirements can be met - at a reasonable £269.
