Google Home Mini
£19.00

Motorola Pulse Wireless
£19.99
Who needs to spend £300 or more on headphones? Motorola is a much bigger name in phones than audio, and that is why you’re now able to get this pair for peanuts. They are full-size headphones with Bluetooth, and the option to use a cable should the battery run out. You’ll get 10 hours off a charge: not the longest, but having to recharge every few days doesn’t seem a big sacrifice when you pay under £20.

Amazon Fire TV Stick
£19.99
We’re big fans of Amazon’s Fire TV stick, because it lets you do so much more than the average smart TV dongle. You can install loads of apps because the software is based on Android and you get access to Amazon’s own app store. These apps include Netflix, BBC iPlayer, catch-up services and games. It’s not just for Amazon’s own video streaming service.
