Buying into the current fashion for anything retro...

IT’S come around fast again, hasn’t it? We're on the home straight for the big day and looking at some cool tech accessories for those last-minute present hunts.

AMAZON FIRE TV STICK 4K SELECT

There are many ways to watch TV these days on many-sized screens. But I still think the biggest screen in your house is the best for film nights and box set bing-ing. This is the latest Fire Stick from Amazon, and it can stream from all the major services including iPlayer, Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, Now and Paramount+... as well as many more. Including Amazon Prime, of course. Better yet, it’s all ready for the new more powerful Alexa, which will help you surface the best shows tailored to your taste when it launches sometime next year.

■The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select costs £49.99 from amazon. co.uk, but at the time of writing is on offer for £19.99

ANKER NANO POWER BANK

When all other charging options fail, many of us have been extremely glad to have a power bank charger to hand to save the day. The Anker Nano is a great option with its 5,000mAh capacity (about the same as most phones’ internal batteries), and a very slimline design that won't add undue bulk to your phone. It’s compatible with any Qi2 magnetic connection.

■The Anker Nano Power Bank costs £49.99 from Anker.com
