Top ten must-have Christmas gift ideas for 2024

Now, if there’s one name you can trust in drones, it’s DJI. The renowned drone company has gone above and beyond this year, delivering the Neo, a sensational drone at a price you won’t have to fib about.

It features palm takeoff and landing, captures video in 4K for complete cinematic footage, weighs only 135gms for maximum portability, and has an 18-minute flight time.

* Before you start droning, check out the full drone rules and regulations at https://www.casa.gov.au/knowyourdrone/drone-rules. Ignorance of them isn’t a valid defence if anything happens to go wrong.

An excellent entry point smartwatch that doesn’t skimp on features, the Galaxy Fit3 is the ideal gift for people to monitor fitness, health, and wellbeing goals.

With up to 13 days of battery life on a single charge, it has over 100 workout activities, tracks sleep, and can play music, check calls, and even send texts straight from the wrist.

Music to your eyes? It doesn’t sound quite right, does it? This is as unique as Christmas pressies get. Not only do the SoundGear Frames act as sunnies, but they also deliver music through built-in speakers.

So now you can go for a stroll in the park, lie on the beach, or even pretend to be working with your favourite playlist of podcast playing - you can even answer a phone call.

Why let adults have all the electric scootering fun, eh? Designed by the reputable e-scooter company Segway-Ninebot, the stylish scooter has it all.

Three-speed modes make it perfect for learning to ride, and 250 RGB lights ensure riders won’t be missed at night. Maximum speed is 16km/h with a 9km range at full speed. Suitable for riders aged between 6-10.

* Things to know before you ride: Ride with caution and always wear a helmet and protective gear. Each state and territory in Australia have different rules and regulations for using your product, including where you can legally use such products and if you need to register them with your state’s road traffic authority. Any information provided by JB Hi-Fi is general in nature only and may not take account of your specific circumstances. It is the responsibility of each user to check their local laws before riding.

‘Tis the season to be… travelling. Yep, this is the travel pal you won’t want to leave home without when you head away on holiday.

In this essential kit, we have one mini 12 Instax instant camera, a protective case, a 20-pack of film, and one Instax pencil case with photo slips.

What’s better than a PlayStation 5 on Christmas morning? A PlayStation 5 Pro. You can always hide behind the ‘it’s a gift for everyone’ before selfishly taking over the entire holiday period playing the games that you want.

So, what’s new? The all-digital console has enhanced GPU power under the hood, AI-driven upscaling for greater image clarity and detail in games, and increased storage.

The hottest thing in music this Christmas 2024 is vinyl. We just can’t get enough of it. Nothing compares to listening to your favourite album, but you need a turntable to do it.

The belt-driven MTT-TT249 comes in three different colours, has an auto-stop function and an anti-shaking platter, so you only get the best sound performance possible.

Don’t let its size deceive you – the MINIROLL is a powerful little Bluetooth speaker from a brand associated with producing quality kit.

You’ll get 12 hours of play, it’s rated IP67 for dust and waterproofing and can be paired up with several MINIROLL speakers for the optimum party experience. A handy strap on the rear makes it easy to attach to handlebars or in the shower!

Perfect for the retro enthusiast looking to rekindle the magic of not knowing how photos turned out until development.

Designed for beginners, unlike disposable cameras that go straight into landfill after use, the Reloader can be used repeatedly – just refill with 35mm film and start snapping.

Available in three different frame sizes and colours, this is an excellent gift for long-distance friends and family. The Wi-Fi-enabled frame can display photos and short videos directly from a smartphone.

This means images can be displayed in real-time on the Frameo – in either portrait or landscape – whether the device is on your house or a relative’s home in Helsinki.
