Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without some cool tech gadgets to muck about with and so here at Cool Things Collection we’ve handpicked 10 of the hottest tech gifts this Christmas.
1 Hubsan X4 Micro Quadcopter With Camera
We love drones, but if you don’t want to shell out hundreds of pounds for one with a camera and just want one for fun and whizz around the house etc then the Hubsan X4 LED edition in our opinion can’t be beaten. It features a whole host of new improvements to its previous model and it maybe small, but micro’s quadcopter’s performance is amazing both indoors and outdoors (wind dependant of course). A cool addition for any budding drone aviators out there.
2. DJI Spark Drone
Aerial drones are the must have gadget of 2017 and with drones getting better and better but the prices getting cheaper, you can now get the awesome DJI Spark for just £449!
