Tech
A folding magnetic stand that charges a phone, watch and earbuds at once — worth it if he owns all three, and pointless if he does not.
Tech
Over-ear Bluetooth headphones with active cancellation and a transparency mode — the gift for a commute, an open-plan office or a long flight home.
Tech
A pocket-sized 10,000mAh battery with a built-in cable — the accessory that solves the problem of arriving somewhere on four per cent.
