HOBBIES
Life shouldn’t be all work, work, work – especially with goodies like this

1 STRATIGRAPHIC JOURNALS GEO 

Combining two primary paths to mindfulness - bullet journaling and adult colouring - into super-handsome little notebooks, Storigraphic's Geo Journals are the perfect gift for at least one person in your life. It's hard not to appreciate their geometric patterns, the aesthetic inspiration they offer, or the fact that a four-pack is just £30.

From £10, storigraphic.com

2 RAZER SEIREN MINI

While nobody needs any more podcasts in their lives, everyone's got one in them. Razer's cute smaller Seiren is a fantastic stocking-friendly way to help someone's dulcet tones meet their device of choice. It's also good for streaming, video calls, or anything else audio - and the extremely tight angle of its supercardioid capsule cuts out background noise.

3 PIONEER DJ DDJ-FLX10

Probably one of the smartest DJ controllers ever built, the DDJ-FLX10 can (through tight integration with Rekordbox) chop mixed tracks up into remixable stems on the fly. That's pro-level stuff - and it's plain to see that you'll have more controls available than you'll know what to do with. And hey, who doesn't want to be a DJ?
