Each Curio comes with 900+ pieces of content. You can get the device in various colours and shapes. It has a 20-hour battery life, headphone jack and Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless playback. You can also record your voice for a bit of fun. It is a bit expensive, but it’s a good way to wean children off their screen addiction.

For movie buffs
This may rip the stocking a bit thanks to its size and weight, but if you want to get a good projector experience from a small form factor, a few sacrifices have to be made. The device comes with Android TV 11, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It has two 8W speakers and can beam out 400 ISO lumens. This means it’s too bright, but in a dark enough room, it should be able to project a decent 200-inch picture. Android TV means this thing comes with Chromecast and Google Assistant built-in.

For those VR connoisseurs
Xreal Air is a pair of VR and AR glasses that are essentially a TV you can carry around disguised as spectacles. They are no match for the upcoming Apple device or the latest Oculus Quest 3 from Meta. However, they are great for watching TV and gaming on the go. Note that they don’t sit flush against your face, unlike like real glasses.

For memory-capturers
Digital photos captured by your phone miss that tactile feel you get from a real printed picture. The Kodak Mini Shot 2 is a digital camera with a built-in photo printer. You can use it to take pictures and immediately print, or you can send pictures to it via Bluetooth to print a picture instantly. The printer/camera is small and super portable. You get a cute 2.1×3.4-inch picture, and the camera comes bundled with 68 sheets for your first few pictures. Unlike inkjet printers, these use a 4-pass tech to print CYMK (Cyan, Yellow, Magenta, and Black) colours with every pass. The result is a crisp photo that feels like it was developed in a professional photo studio.
