1. Samsung Galaxy Fold

This might be the perfect gift for someone who is highly dependent on his phone—and who isn’t? The Fold, which launched in September this year after an update, is part smartphone, part tablet. Unfold to use the biggest smartphone screen in the market—a 7.3 inch display—with the ability to use and view three apps at a go. There are three rear cameras, two front cameras with the Fold open, and an additional front camera with the Fold closed; six lenses in total and ideal for any phone photography enthusiast. Then fold it, and it fits in the pocket. Each Fold comes with a sleek Mont Blanc case to protect it from bumps and scratches.

Often a symbol associated with glorious summer travels and leisure, the Italian Vespa, which stands as one of the most innovative post-war motor achievements and brought to fame by Audrey Hepburn's classic 1953 film Roman Holiday, remains as a well-loved classic today.

This Christmas, Italian leather goods manufacturer Bottega Conticelli has created a classic leather version of the iconic scooter, which is perfect for those who appreciate precision craft and this timeless two-wheel drive.
