3. Beats Fit Pro

With flexible silicone wingtips that curl upwards, these wireless, noise-cancelling earbuds are a slightly cheaper alternative to Apple's AirPod Pros. Fitted with the same H1 chip, they respond to voice commands and have Spatial Audio.

4. Hydro Flask All Around Tumbler 354ml

This sturdy coffee cup has a no-spill lid with slide-across opening (which is designed to stop splashes, but not leaks, so it has to be kept upright). It will keep coffee hot for up to six hours, or ice-cold for 24 hours and is dishwasher safe.
