With these glorious gadgets, you can have fun while you make some long-awaited changes to your life. Don’t fall into the same habit of binning your New Year’s resolutions by February – with these gizmos, you can stick to them and start the new decade on a high.

Echo Dot (3rd Generation 2019) with Clock

Argos: £59.99

Upgrade your home with the Echo Dot, the voice control device that can make your life so much easier. Simply ask Alexa for the weather update, the news or calendar reminders, and enjoy making hands-free calls.

You can even use the Echo Dot to connect with your compatible smart home devices like your lights, thermostat and kettle! So you can warm up the house, turn on the lights or play music and more, all without leaving your bed.

This version of Echo Dot also comes with an LED display that can show the time, outdoor temperature and timers, so you don’t miss a beat!

Anova Nano Precision Cooker

Menkind.co.uk: £100

Perhaps one of your resolutions is to spend more time in the kitchen, expanding your cooking abilities? Or maybe you’re a novice when it comes to cooking and want to pick up a new skill? Either way, the Anova Nano Precision Cooker is your go-to gadget.

No hob? No problem! This futuristic bit of tech from Menkind will literally save your bacon, as it operates as a portable, programmable cooker, which can link up to your smartphone via Bluetooth or WiFi – fancy!

And if that doesn’t sound techy enough for you, this device makes dinnertime even easier, as it only requires you to drop your bag-sealed food in a pot of water, before it cooks your food to a highly accurate degree.

With additional features like IPX7 water resistance, a temperature range of 0°C to 92°C and a screen for time and temperature controls, the Anova Nano Precision Cooker means you’ve got no excuse not to get in the kitchen.

Jaybird Vista True Wireless Waterproof Bluetooth In-Ear Headphones

John Lewis: £159.99

Tired of your pesky earbuds getting loose, or the wires becoming tangled when you exercise? Invest in these wireless earbuds to make your workout manageable again. Not only are they wireless, but they come with three sizes of interchangeable, silicone ear-gels, so you can adjust them to fit comfortably.

And you don’t have to worry about running out of juice, as the Jaybird can keep at it for up to 6 hours, with a further 10 hours available thanks to the small portable charging case that's included. Just five minutes of charging results in an hour of perfect sound and by using only one earbud, you can expand your listening time to up to 32 hours.

The Jaybird also has an IPX7 rating that repels sweat and moisture, and can be immersed in up to one metre of water.
