Perfect Last Minute Teen Gift – The Art of Mad Max: Fury Road | #ChristmasGiftGuide
We already talked this week about giving books as teen gifts; they need to be something special if you want them to be read and cherished rather than plopped on a shelf and ignored. For gamers, the Assassin’s Creed Syndicate Art Book is a surefire hit. But if you happen to own a film buff, then the The Art of Mad Max: Fury Road is probably one of the best Coffee Table Art Film Books I’ve ever seen, and is guaranteed to...
PERFECT non-tech gift for your teen gamer – Assassin’s Creed Syndicate Art Book Review #ChristmasGiftGuide
Yes. It’s a book. A book that you’ll love to give – and that they will LOVE you for giving. I know what it’s like – you look despairingly across their list and wonder when it was they stopped wanting Playmobil and cool robots for Christmas.

The Very Best Headset for Teen Gamers – under £65 for Hyper X Cloud II #ChristmasGiftGuide
The importance of a gaming headset should never be underestimated by any parent of a teen gamer. Really, no – their iPod headphones will not ‘do’. And when you’re the one spending out, you want to be sure you’re getting one of the good ones, obviously – and this is not necessarily down to budget. Now I’m no gamer myself – for me, a night on the sofa playing Couch Co-op Halo with the...
The nightmare of running out of space on your phone. Just at the wrong moment.
I gaze at my phone in frustration, thumb flickering speedily backwards and working as fast as I can make it go. Stabby fingers and teeth grinding in frustration as I hit delete, delete, delete, delete… I’m on the top of a mountain in Wales. I’d accidentally left my camera in the car, but when I realised I hadn’t wanted to head a mile back down the track to get it – after all, I had my phone, which I had...
