5 GIFTS YOU WISH YOU'D GOTTEN
By Lakeisha Goedluck, 25 December 2018
Christmas Day has finally arrived, and if you’ve been good this year, hopefully you received a lot more than a lump of coal. So, while you marvel over the knitted jumper your nan just hooked you up with, here’s a roundup of five gifts you likely wish you’d gotten to add to your tremendous haul.
Alright, so your mum didn’t buy the ‘I need them for revision’ line, and you’re stuck with your bog-standard set of in-ear headphones. So, why not splash out a bit and bag yourself this slick noise-cancelling on-ear pair from Sony? These Bluetooth-enabled headphones have a 20-hour battery life, so they’ll last you far beyond a session of going over those seminar notes you completely forgot about…
Found a fly pair of shades in your stocking? Well, you’re going to need a casual T-shirt to team them with this summer. Basics are always best when it’s hot out, so go for a plain white tee like this one from Tommy Hilfiger with a tiny flag icon on the chest.
The disappointment of not spotting a shoebox-sized present under the tree still fresh? It’s OK, pal, the adidas Originals Continental 80 is here to fill that trainer-shaped void. Released in ‘Blue’, ‘Black’ and ‘Semi Frozen Yellow’ earlier this year, jump on the never-ending hype for old-school sneaks and cop this retro model in 'White'.
With a new year right around the corner, now’s a good time to spruce up your grooming routine. Gone are the days of fixing your hair and face with water; featuring everything from a citrus and mint shower gel to a soothing shave cream, this kit from men-ü will help you upgrade your standard of personal upkeep in an instant.

Now, next time your mates come over, they’re guaranteed to be impressed if you’ve got a voice-controlled speaker stationed in your room. The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay P2 portable speaker will wirelessly connect to all of your Bluetooth devices and allows for up to 10 hours of play time. It’s a little on the expensive side, but you’ll most certainly get the bang – or in this case, bass – for your buck.
