Festive Tech

Six pieces of tech that could shape a whole new you in 2023.

FIZZICS DRAFTPOUR (around £100) There’s little argument as to what most of us prefer when it comes to the draft beer versus packaged option, yet now you can have both.

The Fizzics Draftpour enables a can or bottle to be inserted into the base of what is a slick and stylish looking contraption. You then use it like a beer tap, with the liquid streaming through the device’s Micro-Foam technology, which enhances fl avour, aroma and mouth feel.

The Fizzics DraftPour may just have revolutionised the home drinking draft experience, without the bulkiness or expense of a keg purchase.

BIOLITE FIREPIT+ (around £200) If you know someone who likes to spend more time outdoors, even in the dirty depths of winter, the BioLite Firepit+ could be the perfect gift.

Useful for those who crave open-air, be in the garden or on a day out, this brilliant burner is powered by an e cient battery pack, o ering a glowing, heat-driven experience that’s great for BBQs, or just for staying warm. It even has a USB port to charge other devices.

DJI MINI2 (around £400) No matter what angle or fi lter you might achieve with your top-of-the-range camera or smartphone, you’ll never get the views a drone can… 400ft in the air! The DJI Mini2 represents the latest breed of drone, and coming in under 250g it avoids many of the operator restrictions associated with heavier versions. Its folded dimensions are tiny (131x81x58mm) and it can easily withstand gusts of up to 25mph (level fi ve wind resistance).

BLUEAIR PURE FAN AUTO (around £250) How clean is the air around you that you breathe? Thankfully, dust, smoke, pollen and more these can all be neutralised with an air purifi er, with the Blueair rated as one of the best on the market.

Doubling as an air cooler, it can also help when the hot weather comes back round… however far away that may seem!

GARMIN DASH CAM MINI 2 (around £100) Garmin have evolved from a satellite navigation devices market leader into one of the best brands for dash cam technology, with their Mini 2 succeeding both in its 1080p footage capture, as well as the fact it’s incredibly discreet, fi tting, as it does, behind your rear-view mirror.

Insurance companies are rapidly talking up the usefulness of dash cam footage during motoring disputes, so this bit of kit could end up saving you thousands.

THERAGUN PRIME (around £250) The Theragun Prime can target annoying knots, sore spots and general muscle discomfort, e ciently getting us back into good shape without the need, or expense, of visiting a physiotherapist!
