Summer is officially here, and that means sunshine, barbecues and plenty of Pimm’s. But it’s not just all sunbathing and cocktails – this can also be a good excuse to treat yourself to some nifty new gadgets that could make life just that bit better. So, why not check out some of the latest gizmos on the market and see which ones can help make this the best summer yet!

Fujifilm Instax Camera
John Lewis: £119.99
Instant cameras were once thought of as retro, but they’ve made a big comeback as more millennials appreciate the old school aesthetic of printed square photos. Thanks to this cute instant camera from Fujifilm, you can take high-quality photos to capture your precious summer memories (and match your aesthetic).

However, there’s also a nice twist to this camera, as it includes a handy selfie mode activated by a simple twist of the lens. Don’t worry about trying to perfectly position your camera to snap that selfie – this gizmo has been updated to meet your needs in that department! Please note, the Instax Square Film is sold separately.

Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3
John Lewis: £149.99
In case the name of this portable wireless speaker didn’t give it away, the Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 packs a mighty punch when it comes to high-quality, 360 degree sound. Simply use your mobile phone to control the speaker and appreciate its 45 metre range. It even comes in an array of colours to suit your aesthetic, from Ultraviolet Purple to Lagoon Blue to Unicorn (pictured).

This speaker is also built to withstand water and dust (it can be submerged in up to one metre of water for half an hour) and is even ‘shockproof’, in case you suffer from butter fingers. Enjoy up to 20 hours of uninterrupted music as you settle in for a long summer.

Dyson Pure CoolMe Fan
Boots: £299
Not only does this Dyson fan cool you down during the midst of a summer heat wave, but it also purifies your air! Created to improve air quality, the Dyson Pure CoolMe Fan – the first personal purifier from Dyson – projects clean, filtered air that removes 99.95% of allergens and pollutants. Thanks to its sealed filter, this fan traps any harmful gases, ensuring your home is clean and fresh.

Adjust the airflow however you like thanks to the different modes, and ensure that the summer heat doesn’t stop you from getting a good night’s sleep! You can set the fan’s sleep timer to help you keep cool as you try and get your eight hours of kip.
