EDITOR’S TOP PICKS

Disguised to look like a succulent, this three-in-one device will blend nicely into her decor while providing 14 relaxing sounds, five levels of brightness and eight colour tones for the ideal sleep environment. It also has ‘baby cry auto activation’ to help settle little ones back to sleep after minor sleep disturbances, allowing mum to get some additional rest.

It’s great for adults too, with one five star reviewer on Amazon Australia saying: “I am pregnant and struggling to sleep all through the night, so I bought a sound machine to help sleep better and it has helped so much!

“I bought this one in particular because I LOVE the look of it and can be styled in my room as decor!

“I really love that it has soothing sound options for both adults and babies. I will definitely be purchasing another for baby’s room!”

If you’ve been on TikTok in the last year or two, you likely would have seen sunlight lamps all over your feed. Users can’t seem to get enough of the lights that create a golden hour glow, with an avalanche of unboxing videos sending the products viral.

While you can find a range of different models available, this affordable option by Comfort Office is a bestseller on Amazon Australia, making it a great gift idea. The lamp is able to be controlled both through the remote and the accompanying app, making it easy to adjust colour and brightness for a permanent dose of sunshine indoors.

“First saw this style of light advertised all over socials and they were $60-$90. I considered paying that much and then found these on Amazon and OMG, they’re great! The app is so easy to use and makes for an extremely versatile lamp. Aesthetically pretty good for the price, but the light and user interface itself is the best part about it. Would highly recommend!!”, said one happy reviewer who rated the lamp five stars.

Ergonomics never looked so cute. Whether she works a desk job or enjoys longer PC gaming sessions, this adorable palm rest will reduce wrist strain and help her keep a healthy posture. With cloud-soft comfort and a dreamy aesthetic, this is one gift you won’t need to keep the receipt for.

AirPods may be some of the best earbuds on the market but, let’s be honest, their cases are a little dull (not to mention, easy to smudge). Enter this Kate Spade New York case, which will upgrade her AirPods Pros in an instant.

The stylish case is compatible with wireless chargers and even comes with a bag clip, so she won’t have to rummage through her things every time she wants to play her tunes.

If she’s always taking happy snaps on her phone, this Fujifilm Instax Mini Link Printer is guaranteed to be a big hit. The palm-sized printer is easy to set up and offers a range of creative modes, allowing her to print her favourite memories straight from her phone.

Arriving with three massage speeds, a heat function and eight deep tissue kneading nodes, this RENPHO massager can be used on the neck, shoulders, back, waist and legs to help relieve aches, knots and muscle tension.

“I was expecting a light buzzing vibrating type of massage but this delivers quite a heavy deep tissue type of massage that really hits the spot,” said one five star reviewer.

“Very cleverly you control the pressure of the massage by your hands and arms resting in the arm loops built into the massager, it’s really easy to put on and set up and within seconds you are receiving a really invigorating and effective massage.”

This fun little star projector provides 900 square feet of coverage and 360-degree rotation, making it easy to change up the atmosphere of any room. The accompanying smartphone app can also be synched with both Google Home and Amazon Alexa to unlock voice control options, so she can create a show stopping experience without lifting a finger.

Most women know the struggle of doing their makeup in a poorly lit room – especially when they’re travelling. Enter this Fancii Lighted Makeup Mirror, which comes with three light settings (warm, cool and daylight) and a detachable magnifying mirror for close up jobs.

It can also be powered by either batteries or a USB plug in, making it an option she can pack in her suitcase and take with her wherever she goes. As one happy reviewer put it, it’s “convenient af.”

If she loves a night-time reading session, this portable, lightweight lamp will be her new best friend. With three colour options and five brightness settings, the clip on device will easily illuminate her latest read. It can also be charged up via a USB-C cable, making it a convenient little gadget to have on hand.

Arriving with three different brush heads and 500 rotations per minute, this little brush can clean everything from canvas to suede. The battery-operated device is also compact enough to be thrown in a bag, making it great for adventurers who don’t mind getting their feet a little dirty.

FOR THE WORKING WOMAN

Available in two sizes and three colour options, this comfortable lap desk offers a flat surface for laptops, along with a built-in mousepad and media slot for storing her phones, pens and other small items. It also features a dual-bolster cushion that conforms to the lap, making it comfortable to hold over long periods of time.

If she thinks laptop bags are ugly, this gift will make her think again. The Houston laptop bag doubles as a luxury handbag, so it will easily carry her from the office to after work drinks. Crafted from PU vegan leather, the bag comes in four different colour options and can house devices up to 16-inches, making it a convenient size for most workers.

Fitted with a 10.2-inch Retina display, up to 256GB of storage, an ultra wide camera with Centre Stage, stereo speakers, Touch ID and Apple Pay, Apple’s versatile tablet can be used for everything from taking work calls to bingeing the latest Netflix shows. It’s also compatible with the Apple Pencil (1st Gen) and Apple Smart Keyboard, so it can easily be turned into a lightweight work device.

I’ve gifted this Bellroy tech kit on a few occasions now, and I’m constantly being told how helpful it is. The little case comes with enough room to house a mouse, wall charger, cables, AirPods cases and more, so it’s ideal both for travelling and for staying organised at home.

This best-selling Logitech keyboard is compact, quiet and can seamlessly switch typing between two connected devices, making it a great gift for those working from home.

“Absolutely stoked with this keyboard,” said one reviewer on Google Reviews who rated the device five stars.

“The keys are light to touch and not noisy, and it was so super easy to set up. The best thing is the toggle button between devices which means I can set up for my Mac and then at the touch of a button my husband can use on his.

“Easy to transport also as I work from home and in the office but fits nicely in my laptop bag.”

FOR THE FITNESS FANATIC

Fitted with a fashion-forward link bracelet by Gorjana and a crisp AMOLED colour display, this Fitbit tracker can easily help her stay on top of her health and fitness with notifications, fitness tracking, menstrual health tracking, sleep tracking, timers and more.

There is no built-in GPS, which will be a downside for some, but the Luxe remains an elegant and functional choice for those who don’t feel comfortable wearing a larger fitness watch.

Built on the same tech platform as the Apple AirPods Pro, the Beats Fit Pros include all of the AirPods best features, like Adaptive EQ, Spatial audio, ANC and Apple’s H1 chip.

Audio is solid (though a little bass heavy), and battery life is reasonable, with up to six hours of listening time off a single charge and up to 24 hours with the charging case. The buds also come in a range of colour options and feature a wing tip design to keep them secure and comfortable in the ears.

This popular device comes equipped with three intensity settings and six massage head attachments, including an Active Heat head and a Cold head for targeting different muscle groups. It also arrives with a portable case so she can take it away with her, or store it neatly at home.

Apple Watches are some of the most popular smartwatches around, making them an ideal gift for those in Apple’s ecosystem. If you want to avoid paying a small fortune for one though, we recommend the Watch SE (2nd Gen).

The SE is a more affordable offering from the brand, while still arriving with a slate of great features like fitness tracking, fall detection, emergency SOS, customisable watch faces, Apple Pay and heart rate monitoring.

FOR THE MUSIC MAVEN

UE’s Megaboom 3 was always a bestseller at the electronics store I used to work for – and with good reason. The portable speaker offers balanced 360-degree sound, one-touch music control, deep bass and a waterproof/dustproof/drop-proof design that makes it the perfect take-anywhere speaker. It also comes in a great variety of colour options to suit any preference.

Now in their second generation, the AirPods Pro buds feature active noise cancelling, an adaptive transparency mode, personalised spatial audio and up to six hours of listening time off a single charge. There’s also four different ear tip sizes, making it even easier for her to find a comfortable and secure fit.

With its built-in Bluetooth receiver, this funky turntable gives her the choice between spinning 33 1/3, 45, or 78 RPM records or transmitting her digital music wirelessly through the turntable’s stereo speakers. It can also be paired with external speakers via Bluetooth output, making it a great addition to any living space.

Fitted with a built-in speaker, LED lights and a USB and Micro SD Card Slot (up to 32GB), this cute microphone is perfect for parties or for belting out her favourite tunes at home.

One five star reviewer on the Big W site said: “I love it. It’s easy to use and with the right apps you can even sing along to your own favourite songs! The phone holder is a great bonus that I haven’t seen on other karaoke mics. Highly recommend.”

FOR THE GAMER GIRL

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is one of the most popular Nintendo Switch games to date, offering an unmatched open world experience. With so much to explore, this 512-page hardcover guidebook will help her navigate the world of Hyrule and discover all it has to offer. It also includes Expansion Pass concept art gallery, dedicated chapters covering both Expansion Passes, a Reference and Analysis chapter and more.

The cutest headset to date, this accessory can be easily customised with 16.8 million colours and a suite of different lighting effects. There’s also an active noise cancelling microphone, THX spatial audio and cooling-gel cushions to keep her ears cool during longer gaming sessions.

If she’s been looking to switch things up, these gorgeous pastel joy-cons will give her console a unique twist. They also arrive in Pastel Pink/Pastel Yellow, Neon Green/Neon Pink, Purple/Neon Orange or a Blue/Neon Yellow duos, making it easy to find a pair she’ll love.

Help her capture every angle with Logitech’s C922 Pro Stream HD Webcam. The device offers a choice of Full 1080p at 30fps or hyperfast HD 720p at 60fps, no-drop audio, autofocus, and a 78-degree field of view, making it a great option for Twitch and YouTube.

“I’ve been using this camera for about a year now and I don’t think I’ll ever need anything else. It has built in lighting which helps to frame and illuminate your face, the auto focus works pretty much perfectly,” said one five star reviewer on the Myer site.

If there’s one title any gamer wants to unwrap this year, it’s The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Following on from the critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the game sees players dive right back into the world of Hyrule in a brand new adventure to find Zelda and save the kingdom.

FOR THE ADVENTURER

When it comes to instant cameras, there’s nothing more annoying than wasting film, which is why this LiPlay model by Fujifilm is so handy. Fitted with a 2.7-inch display, the camera will let her view her snaps before printing, so she gets the perfect picture every time. There’s also a selfie mirror and a remote shooting option for taking group shots, so everyone can get involved.

If she likes to camp off grid, this clever gadget will offer a much-appreciated alternative to powdered coffee. Operated by hand, the Minipresso doesn’t require compressed air or electricity to use and is light enough to pop in a backpack without significantly adding to the weight.

“The coffee extracted from the Minipresso tastes exactly the same as the Nespresso machine,” one happy Amazon customer posted, calling it the “best product ever for coffee addicts.”

Whether she travels often or is into adventure sports, the GoPro Hero 10 will help her capture stunning photos and video, with 5.3K video with higher frame rates, 23MP photos, enhanced lowlight performance and HyperSmooth 4.0 video stabilisation in all modes.

This bundle kit also comes with a rechargeable battery, curved adhesive mount, mounting buckle, thumb screw, camera case and USB-C cable to help her get the most out of her device.

Whether she’s into photography or simply looking for a new hobby, the DJI Mini 2 SE is a great starter drone. Offering up to 31 minutes of flight time, 38 km/h wind resistance, 10km video transmission range, and a range of intelligent modes to aid first time users, she’ll be capturing impressive content in no time.

FOR THE HOMEBODY

Amazon released an updated version of its Kindle Paperwhite back in 2021, and it’s still our top eReader pick for most people. Three different size options are available – 8GB ($249), 16GB ($269) and a 32GB Signature Edition ($299) model – with each device arriving with USB-C charging, a 6.8-inch display, IPX8 waterproof rating, 300ppi resolution and faster page-turn rate.

All three options also feature adjustable warm backlighting, making it easy for your giftee to read outdoors or in bed without straining her eyes.

Described by one five star reviewer as, “the best mug warmer I’ve used,” this nifty gadget will allow her to drink her tea or coffee at a leisurely pace without it going cold. Equipped with a simple wall plug and an automatic shut-off safety feature, it also makes a convenient addition to any work desk.

Make her life easier with Amazon’s voice controlled Echo Show 8, which streams music, TV shows and movies on its 8-inch HD display. The handy device can also set timers and reminders, check news and traffic, control other smart home devices and heaps more, making it a great value-for-money buy.

If she’s always on her feet, RENPHO’s foot massager will provide some much needed relief. Fitted with three kneading and three squeeze intensities, it can easily be customised to suit her preferences using either the touch control panel or the handy remote control. It also has an optional heat function for soothing sore, tired feet at the end of a long day.

“The first time I used it, I was amazed how realistic it felt. It genuinely feels like a trained massage therapist is giving you a foot massage,” said one reviewer on Amazon Australia.

Featuring a 1280 x 800 pixel screen resolution and a 7-inch screen, this Wi-Fi Digital Photo Frame is the perfect addition to any home. Able to be displayed in both landscape and portrait mode, the frame is easy to set up and can be contributed to by friends and family using a unique code.
