As we detangle the Christmas lights and box up the tree in the loft for another year, it’s with relief and also a hint of sadness that the festivities are finally over. To avoid getting too caught up in the typical case of January blues and instead get excited about new possibilities in the New Year, here are some gadgets to treat yourself with.
Magic Moving Monkey Speaker
Try saying this one six times fast! This adorable furry friend may look like a simple stuffed toy, but its magic comes from dancing to your choice of tunes as you connect it to your phone or MP3 Player. At £24.99, this mischievous monkey is a fun treat for all the family and is sure to put a smile on your face. With great sound quality – not to mention some great moves – this is a bargain buy that you can indulge in. It can be battery-powered, or plugged in with its USB cable. Just because Christmas is over, there’s no reason you can’t still enjoy the childish things in life.
NutriBullet Graphite
As per the general rule of New Year, it is universally expected that we all resolve to shed the Christmas pounds that come from stocking up on Quality Street and mince pies. But another part of that rule is that, usually, most people have given up that resolution before February (after all, we’re only human). To make things a little easier, the NutriBullet offers a helpful hand to getting some of your five a day. At £57.99, it has a 600 watt motor that can break down any fruit and vegetables, and it even comes with a list of recipes for you to try out. If you’re still looking to battle that holiday weight, then this is your weapon of choice.
Tassimo by Bosch T40 Fidelia Multi Drinks Machine – Silver
If smoothies really aren’t your thing, you can always warm yourself up with a smooth hot drink instead. At £44.99, the Tassimo TAS4011GB is equipped with an ingenious bar code system, which both recognises your beverage of choice and is able to perfect the right temperature for your selection. Offering a variety of options including cappuccinos, lattes, espressos, hot chocolate, filter coffee and tea, this handy machine will give you plenty of choice at just the push of a button. With flow heater technology and a two year guarantee from Bosch, the TAS4011GB represents the perfect balance between quality and convenience, saving you a trip to your local café.
