Looking for a joint present for your parents, your grandparents, your in-laws or some housemates? A stand mixer will go down a treat. Whether they like to bake, they are pizza lovers or they want to make their own pasta. The KitchenAid Mini Stand Mixer is 25 per cent lighter and has a 20 per cent smaller footprint than the regular KitchenAid Classic Stand Mixer, so it'll take up less counter space and is easy to move (marvellous in a small kitchen). Plus it’s still compatible with all KitchenAid attachments. Total winner.

Buying something for him? It's always a toughie, but this year we can't think of anything better to buy him than a Bluetooth speaker – specifically, the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay P2. Portable, affordable and with great sound quality, he can take it everywhere from staycations to in the garden, holidays and even to a friend's house. Truly a great piece of tech, and it comes in a few colours.

The FOREO LUNA mini 3 is life-changing. Great for all skin types (even sensitive) it makes an easy job of getting deep into your facial pores to remove sweat, oils and dirt. How? This facial cleaning brush features silicone bristles on both sides, and, once pressed, it pulsates to gently cleanse your face. Use it day and night along with a favourite cleanser and your face will be glowing. We own one of these ourselves and we cannot recommend enough. You can even connect it to a smartphone to customise it based on skin type. Try out the Glow Boost mode for a true glow up! Amazing stuff. It comes in all colour types and is excellent for everyone, especially teens with challenging skin problems.
Of course, teen boys would love this gift, too – there's a huge colour range.
