Not very expensive: Sennheiser Amperiors

Price: $380

Website: www.senheiser.com

Sennheiser Amperiors

These Amperior cans are based on Sennheiser’s instantly recognizable if you’re a DH HD25s. They look just as good as they sound, and come with a deck-friendly 3.5mm extension cord.

Fairly expensive: Monster diamond tears

Price: $350

Monster diamond tears

The styling is, we’re sure you’ll agree, rather interesting and those looking for function with (sparkly) form will appreciate the hands free phone and music controls with a tangle free cable.

Jolly expensive: Beats by Dre executive

Price: $400

Website: www.beatsbydre.com

Beats by Dre executive

Like most Beats cans, these pack enough bass to put your ears in a stupor. They’re also lightweight and foldable, constructed from aluminium alloy, steel and leather. They fold flat and come with noise- cancelling tech.

Moneywizard K. Rowling's first augmented reality book uses the PS3's Playstation Eye camera and Move controller to give your young wizards their own Potter powers.

They asked for Action cameras

So they like jumping out of planes on to assault courses? Takes all kinds. They’ll want to record the experience…

Not very expensive: Liquid image ego

Price: $215

Website: www.liquidimageco.com

Liquid image ego

Not all extreme sportsters need a fancy GPS camera to capture their 'nutter grabs’. This excellent - value full HD cam also records 720p@60fps and even comes with an expandable microSD card slot for recording more crazy antics.

Fairly expensive: Sony HDR-AS15

Price: $415

Website: www.sony.com

Sony HDR-AS15

Frequently treated to Shaky Cam videos that look as if they were shot in an earthquake? Pick up this for the culprit. Digital image stabilisation, 60m waterproofing and Wi-Fi should help. Unless they’re actually shooting in an Earthquake.

Jolly expensive: Gopro Hero3 Black Edition

Price: $575

Website: www.gopro.com

Gopro Hero3 Black Edition

Heighten your extreme buddy’s already elevated sense of euphoria with this flagship GoPro. It shoots 4K video at 15fps or 720p at a Slow-Mo friendly 120fps, and has a waterproof remote with a 600ft range.

Stocking Fillers under $50

You could fill a stocking with $50 worth of mince pies, but the crumbs would get everywhere. Why not give one of these ago instead?

Holga SLFT-IP5

Price: $30

Website: www.shop.holgadirect.com

Holga SLFT-IP5

Instagram is so 2011. If you really want something to give your iPhone 5 snaps a genuinely retro look, snap on Holga's lens case and spin its wheel of nine filters. You'll be hipper than an hippopotamus wearing skinny jeans and growing a handlebar moustache for charity.

Nanodots

Price: $25

Website: www.thenonodots.com

Nanodots

These highly magnetic ball bearings can be used to construct, well, whatever you want, really - from lattices to dodecahedra to magnetic cathedrals (check out dotpedia.com for examples). Just don't confuse them with Nanobots and swallow them. That wouldn't end well for anyone.

The Mu

Price: $40

Website: www.themu.com

The Mu

Yes, it's a plug but it's one of the most stylish, best- designed plugs ever made. Fold out the wings, twist the pins into place and hey presto - you've got a wall plug, and attached to it is a fully functioning USB charger. Collapsed, it's just 14mm thick - best of all, you'll never stand on an upturned plug again.

Moleskine Evernote Smart Notebook

Price: from $30

Website: www.moleskine.com

Moleskine Evernote Smart Notebook

The classic notebook gets a tech injection thanks to Evernote's cloud-scribbling. Fill a page with words or pictures, snap it with the Evernote iOS app and it's uploaded to your account, complete with searchable text.

Evermade Steve Jobs Quote Poster

Price: $25

Website: www.evermade.com

Steve Jobs

Inspiring words for any die hard Apple fan, from one of the greatest names in tech. Why not hang it in the hall, beside the Steve Ballmer bust and that painting of Bill Gates charging into battle astride a mechanical unicorn?
