Stocking fillers for the gadget lover

Do you have a gadget-lover in your life? Christmas is fast approaching and technophiles can be tough to buy for, so what will you be filling their stockings with this year? Here are a few ideas to help you out.

Electronic cigarette 
It’s winter, so no one wants to watch his or her friend freeze outside. Why not give them this smoke and tobacco-free stocking filler? The e-cigarette eliminates the need to carry a lighter, it ensures you remain a social being and they also come in some tasty flavours, including blueberry, strawberry, menthol and of course classic tobacco. For more information, check out these British e-cig retailers Vapouriz SmokShop and Mist E Liquid.


Heated car mug
There’s nothing better when driving to work on a cold winters morning than a nice hot cup of tea. Unfortunately, for most of us, we get caught up in long lines of traffic. To avoid taking a swig of cold tea, why not invest in a plug-in heated car mug? Plugging straight into your cigarette lighting port in your car, this gadget is a guaranteed pleaser for those tea-loving drivers.

Key finder
Losing the keys; we’ve all done it, whether it is your car keys, house keys or any key – it’s frustrating, and turning your house upside down is time-consuming. With some key finders using a radio frequency that can detect items up to 30 metres away, this is a must-have gadget.


Heatable scarf
Venturing out on your lunch break will never be the same again! A battery operated heatable scarf is a gift that keeps on giving. Some heatable scarves are able to heat to 40 degrees centigrade and are equipped with built-in pockets.

Portable phone charger
This is a must-have gift for anyone with a smartphone or a tablet device. Not only for emergency reasons but for sanity reasons also! No one wants to see their battery percentage hit 10% half way through a day out, with smartphones and tablets alike eating your battery like there’s no tomorrow, this gadget would be a gift gratefully received.

Ted Baker Stocking Fillers

I can't begin to tell you how impressed I am with the Ted Baker range* which is currently in Boots.  I have already introduced you to the 'Putting on the Glitz' gift set HERE and today I have two more products from the range.

The Ted Baker Eyelash Curler and Nail Buffer are naturally a must have for any beauty lover and infact both are staples within my own make-up bag.  Each item within the Accessory range is of a purse friendly friend and all under £10, so if you are looking for a stocking filler or three, then I would highly recommend the Ted Baker Range.

Encased inside this beautiful Pea Green Box with a cute little ribbon (hello Christmas Treet ornament) are the Eyelash Curlers which cost just £8. Inside the box the packaging gets even more beautiful with the flowery background.

As you can see the eyelash curlers, which are a sort of Rose Gold Colour, have the Ted Baker logo on them clearly for all to see and they are actually really sturdy, much better than the flimsy pair I got in a Glossybox which cost more than double the price of these should I want to purchase them.  They also do the job of curling my eyelashes really well.

Then we have the Emery board which costs around £6 and it comes in the same style packaging as the eyelash curlers.  The nail buffer has four different sides to it to really make your nails look fantastic with the option to file, smooth, buff and shine.  In keeping with the beautiful packaging the file side has the foxglove picture which you have on the inside of the box, clearly shown and it I have found it does a fantastic job at filing my nails.  The second side is the Smooth option and the purpose of smooth is to sort out any little ridges that might be present, this I learnt from having a manicure recently and then you work your way round sides 3 and 4 to buff and shine your nails.  The part I have been most impressed with is the shine side of the buffer because it really does help to bring about a shine to your nails.

If these are the type of products you really like, also within the range you will find some Tweezers, Emery Boards, Nail Scissors and Nail Clippers which comes with a case, again all reasonably priced between £5-£8 each.

As you can tell I am a huge fan of the Ted Baker gift section in Boots and love the everything about the products I have, in particular the lovely packaging which is not only eye-catching but really well designed.

What do you think to the Ted Baker products this Christmas?
