Philips OneBlade Trimmer: £57 at AmazonThe Philips OneBlade is something our editor swears by - it’s a great trimmer for those who don’t have a full beard but still want to keep their stubble in check. There are a number of heads that go with it and the battery life on the thing is impressive.

The Glenlivet Founder's Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky: £22 at AmazonYou can’t go wrong with Glenlivet Founder's Reserve - usually this bottle retails for over £30 so to see it closer to the £20 mark is brilliant. This isn’t a whisky for special occasions, but one to whip out when you want a no-nonsense dram. Taste wise, it’s on the sweeter side than most but this just makes it easier to drink.

Given the choice of ales right now is sometimes a little too much, this distills everything you need to know into one handy compendium. Perfect, then for those who want to become a booze bore.

Sipsmith London Dry Gin: £22.50 at AmazonSipsmith London Dry Gin is one of the most dependable gins around, offering a taste of lemon curd and citrus. It’s not too heady, which means that it mixes really well with tonic, but the real kicker here is the price - it’s as cheap as we’ve seen it this year.

KIRK and SWEENEY 12 yrs Rum: £30.99 at AmazonThere’s a decent 33% off KIRK and SWEENEY 12 yrs Rum. This is also the same price you can find the bottle in Sainsbury’s at the moment - it’s a brilliant price for a rum that has had a good amount of maturity. It’s also a nice replacement to the likes of Mount Gay and is close to getting a place in our best rums list.

It has a decent four days’ battery life, heart monitoring and its clock faces are endlessly customisable. It’s rare to see this device for under £150.
