With only a few days to go until the big day, we understand that some of you may be struggling for gift inspiration. That’s why we’ve been keeping an eye out for some neat little bits you can get your hands last minute to complete your Christmas gift shopping before Christmas eve.
Last minute gifts
Assassin’s Creed Zippo Lighter Range – £22-29
You don’t have to be a smoker or an Assassin’s Creed fan to appreciate the quality and designs of the Assassin’s Creed range of lighters from Zippo. However, if you have a loved one who is either of the above, these are a great last minute gift. Affordable, unique and beautifully made, this is lighter range offers some great options to suit any style. They’re also made to last and feature Zippo’s trademark wind-resistant design and satisfying “click” sound when closed.
Skullcandy Crusher Wireless Headphone – £100
These Crusher Wireless headphones feature a unique adjustable haptic stereo bass that gives them a lot of power and depth without impacting battery life. Their comfortable ear cups and flexible band provide passive noise isolation that prevents ambient noise from interrupting your listening experience. It also means that you won’t be distracting bystanders with sound leaking. We can’t say the same for spontaneous dancing that may occur due to the immersive sound that these deliver. Another fantastic thing about the Crusher Wireless headphones is that they provide up to 40 hours of rechargeable battery life, more than enough for short trips and a week of commuter audio.
Assassins Creed for XBOX/PS4/PC – from £30
The current kings of action-stealth adventure titles, Ubisoft, outdid themselves with 2018’s offering of the Assassin’s Creed franchise. 11 titles in, you’d be forgiven for thinking they may have run out of stories to tell. But you’d be wrong. Odyssey allows gamers to step into the shoes (or sandals) of a Spartan warrior, 400 years prior to settings of the original Assassins Creed. Offering an insanely rich and explorative gaming experience, AC Odyssey is an ideal gift for any serious gamer in your life. And if you get them one of the Zippo lighters too, well, that’s some matchy matchy greatness!
Running on the Android One platform, the Nokia 7.1 is one of the most capable and connected affordable phones that money can buy right now. This device has a simple layout that would appeal to everyone from a teen to nan or grandpa. Looks-wise, it’s also appealing enough in its sleek, all-screen, glass body design to suit varied tastes. Inside it is powered by a mid-range Snapdragon chipset and 3GB RAM, which is enough power for average app and mobile gaming use. For picture taking, it features a dual camera with Zeiss optics. And finally, it has a decent 3,060mAh battery, which means it should last a full day for most users.
