The Cool New Tech Gadgets You Need Right Now
POLAROID ‘PRINT EVERYTHING’ BOX, £120 | HI PRINT
Retro Polaroids require you to constantly rebuy film – making them a fairly expensive hobby. Instead, this instant printer connects to your phone or laptop so you can print any photos you have saved on your camera roll. You could even use it to print images from Pinterest to create mood boards.

Bodyclock Glow 150 Wake up to Daylight Table Lamp, £119 | LUMIE
Most of us are woken up by an abrupt phone alarm, but a light-powered alarm clock is a much gentler way to get your body going on winter mornings. Instead of jolting you awake with sound, the alarm wakes you gradually using a slowly brightening light. It also works at night to create a healthy sleep environment. The sunset feature promotes your body’s natural sleep response, allowing you to drift off more naturally.

LIGHT UP SHOWER SPEAKER, £15 | RED5
Whether you’re lucky enough to have an en-suite or you’re sharing with others in a flat or uni accommodation, this speaker promises to upgrade your shower experience. It sticks to the wall which makes changing the song mid-lather a breeze and also means your phone can stay well out of the way to avoid any accidental water damage. But the best bit? The built-in disco light.
