Kindle (2022 release) | The lightest and most compact Kindle

I bought my Kindle years ago and it is still going strong to this day. See Picture. Gone were all the paper books I had on the shelves and everything was now in one convenient location.

This newer model has far more going for it than what I'm used to. For a reader, there is no better tech reading device out there! I have added a link to the latest device on the Irish site as the 2022 device doesn't seem to be available.

2022 Release

The lightest and most compact Kindle, now with a 300 ppi high-resolution display for sharp text and images.

Read comfortably with a glare-free, paper-like display. The adjustable front light and dark mode make reading effortless, day and night.

Get lost in your story. Tune out of messages, e-mails and social media with a distraction-free device made specifically for reading.

Now with extended battery life—a single charge via USB C lasts up to 6 weeks.

Now with 16 GB to store thousands of books—double the storage capacity of the previous generation. *Commissions-Earned

Philips 499P9H- 49 Inch Curved Dual QHD Monitor

I already use two 32-inch monitors for work, but I’d swap them in a heartbeat for something like this.

The Philips Brilliance SuperWide curved display is a serious piece of kit — it’s like having two screens in one, plus USB-C, built-in speakers, and even a pop-up webcam with Windows Hello.

Who wouldn’t want one of these on their desk?

It’s definitely on my wishlist for when I finally upgrade my setup.

Amazon Fire TV Cube | Hands-free streaming Wi-Fi 6E, 4K Ultra HD

I bought the older model of this device and I really resisted buying it for a long time as I had been using Android boxes for streaming for years.
Invariably the Androids would slow down over time and have buffering issues so I eventually decided to try the Fire TV Cube from Amazon in early 2021.
The difference is night and Day with the Cube outperforming the Androids on all levels. My Cube is still going strong today and the only issue I have is Alexa ignoring me every now and again lol.

Amazon Firestick

Irish Buyers will have to buy the Fire Stick version and use the Amazon international Link below.
I have a Fire Stick in the bedroom as well as a Fire Cube in the sitting room and find it almost as good as the Cube for a very good price.

Apple AirTag (4 pack). Track and find your keys, wallet, luggage, backpack and more.

Who knew that you would oneday need a tracking device for your suitcases when flying to another country because you can't trust airlines or airports like we used to.
My Mother asked me to get these for her before her last visit to Australia and they worked perfectly.
Even better when their bags were apparently lost after the rains in Dubai. They certainly paid for themselves during that trip!
I must take photos of them when I get a chance.

Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones

Once I started wearing cheaper headphones instead of ear plugs, I realised just how useful they really are, especially for exercise or mundane tasks. I used to swear I’d never spend money on a high-end set, but now I’m seriously considering it. I’ll still keep the budget pair for rough work, but I’d really like to upgrade to a quality set like this one! I just love the sound of my music through these.
Industry-leading noise cancellation, powered by our HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1
Premium sound quality - these Bluetooth headphones support High-Resolution Audio, and even compressed music files are upscaled using our evolved DSEE Extreme technology.

Razor Keyboards - The Ultimate in Keyboards!

a well used Razor blackwidow keyboard with dust on top

I’m not a gamer, but I do spend a serious amount of time at the keyboard. A few years ago, I bought my son a Razer keyboard for Christmas and at first, I hated the clacking sound of the keys. It drove me mad. But now? I bought one for myself and I can’t bring myself to use quiet keyboards without missing that sound and feel. Razer keyboards aren’t just about noise, though. I love the features they come with, especially the preset LED lighting effects that change depending on your setup or mood. Pictured is my well worn Blackwidow V2 model. It's hard to show the lighting but wait till you see it with the room darkened!
They’re definitely on the luxury end of the scale, so be prepared for that. But if you enjoy a bit of tech flair and tactile satisfaction, these are absolutely worth a look.
There are so many models and styles that it’s hard to just link to one — so here’s the full Razer keyboard page if you’re curious: Check out Razer Keyboards on Amazon UK.

USB C Charger Plug,65W 5-Port Fast Charger

This little device has become a game changer in my setup. It’s a 65W 5-port charger with everything I need: USB-C, Quick Charge 3.0, and two standard USB-A ports — all in one compact plug. No more hunting for different chargers or taking up multiple sockets.

It’s especially handy for travel or the workshop when you need to keep multiple devices topped up — phones, power banks, headphones, even my label printer.

If you're looking to simplify your charging situation, this is well worth a look.

Suptek Laptop Arm for Desk

My workspace is always cluttered and the wood platform I originally added to help with packaging and dispatch quickly became buried in gear. I needed something adjustable, stable, and space-saving, so I took a chance on this Suptek monitor/laptop arm.
Despite a few mixed reviews, I found it quick to assemble and surprisingly solid. It handled my old HP Pavilion laptop (which weighs nearly 9 kg) without issue, and my newer slimline machine was even better. I’ve since ordered a second laptop arm for my new machine.
A small quirk: the kit includes extra screws and washers, which aren’t clearly explained. I may have skipped over the instructions in my haste to set it up lol. I assume they’re for monitor mounting rather than the laptop tray, but the instructions could be clearer.
If you’re short on space and want to lift your screen off the desk, this arm works well — just double-check the clamp depth for your desk edge.

I will be adding more fantastic handy finds as I go but for now there are some great ideas for your home, workshop or garage.
