GIFT GUIDE
TABLET TALK THE CLEVER CALL
More capable than ever, tablets are brilliant for keeping
connected, with movies on the go and easy web browsing. Being
able to slip a compact device into your bag and pull it out for calls,
texts or even a bit of quick gaming while you’re travelling still feels
a little bit like the stuff of science fiction!
Choose a screen size that’s big enough while still
letting you fit the tablet in your bag of choice.

KEEP AN EYE
ON YOUR HOME
It used to be expensive to set up security
cameras at home, but advances in camera
tech have made proper video security truly
affordable. They’re easy to set up, don’t
need wiring to install (they work via Wi-Fi)
and can send an alert to your phone or even
automatically upload video to the cloud if
they detect loud sound or movement. It’s
great for home security, as well as keeping
an eye on the kids, or making sure older
family are safe.

Your smartphone and tablet have hefty batteries in them for many hours of use – but if you clock up
a lot of screen time, carry a power bank with you to easily top up without having to plug in a charger.
They can fully recharge a phone multiple times over, but are small enough to fit in a bag or pocket.
What to Buy:
Arlo Essential Indoor Camera
Smart wireless security at a budget price. $159
Google Nest Cam Outdoor/Indoor (2-pack)
Easy wireless security that seamlessly works
with the Google Nest Hub. $619

Make sure your outdoor

for outside use – they’ll

subscription with some

check before buying.
PICK UP: A mesh
network system for hasslefree house-wide Wi-Fi.
