Last week I shared with you some ideas for stocking filler gifts. I mentioned that I have been trying to be more organised this year as I have been planning gifts by category. Here is my gift guide for other members of the family to help you with your last minute Christmas gift buying!
Gifts for ‘Tech Lovers’

They need your support, especially now, at a time of year we know can be particularly challenging.
I hope this blog has given you some ideas and inspiration for your last minute Christmas gifts. I say this every year but I really am going to try and start Christmas Shopping earlier next year!
