Gadget gift ideas that are unique and practical.
If all the ‘inspiring’ LinkedIn posts are to be believed, tech is a serious business. But what about us tech fans who have a fun side, those of us that have slightly more personality than a motivational potato? Of course technology should be used for life-saving advances in medicine, communication and the furthering of the human species, but sometimes all we want is a back massager in the shape of a sloth. Wanna fight about it?
Firebox: The Founders of Fun Tech.
Since everyone seems to be a ‘Founder’, ‘Thought Leader’, or ‘CEO’ these days, we’ve decided to award ourselves the title of Founders of Fun Tech. It might not be accurate, but that doesn’t seem to be a pre-requisite for job titles these days. We’re here to champion the mood-boosting effects of fun (slightly non-essential) gadgets; a guide to cheerful tech that makes you happy. Check out our gift ideas for fun tech fans below and we guarantee you’ll find them something they didn’t even know they needed in their life.

Okay, your childhood called and said you need a Candy Grabber.

Fill this Candy Grabber with your favourite sweets and let the fun commence.
2. Mini Sub-Woofer Speaker – £9.99
No one really needs a small speaker in the shape of a sausage dog, but that doesn’t mean that no one should have the option. Pop your little friend in your pocket and take him to the beach, on a picnic, or even on a music festival adventure.
