Rediscover the joy of vinyl this Christmas

Whether you’re shopping for a special someone with a well-worn record collection, or a younger music lover ready to have their world expanded, few gifts are as special and enduring as a new turntable.

Not only do these modern options look great; they’ll fit seamlessly into any home setup, with many popular options offering easy Bluetooth connectivity.

There’s an option for virtually any kind of listener, from newcomer-friendly entry-level models to some absolute dream rigs that will impress even the most discerning audiophile. Click here to browse the range online, or head to your local JB Hi-Fi for some expert in-person advice.

A smart garden for effortless growing

Many of us will embrace gardening in retirement, but not everyone has the time or space to develop that green thumb so easily.

A smart garden is a wonderfully easy entry point for a loved one yet to experience the joy of cultivating their own greens — or anyone who will appreciate a little extra joy and colour in the home.

These small and portable units utilise a combination of technologies to grow aromatic herbs, edible flowers and baby vegetables all year round, keeping them well-lit and watered for you. It’s almost like something out of a science fiction film!

JB Hi-Fi has a fantastic range of smart gardens and compatible seed refills. Start shopping here.

An air fryer to help you cook up a storm

Frying, baking, grilling, roasting… what can’t an air fryer do?

If you have a loved one yet to enjoy faster, more versatile meal preparation, JB Hi-Fi’s Christmas season offerings include many of the biggest and most trusted names in cooking appliances.

This is shaping up to be a very popular gift choice this year, so be sure to get in quick while your preferred model is in stock!

Capture memories the old fashioned way

For all the conveniences of in-phone cameras, it’s hard not to miss the days when each photo was more finite and tangible; something special that could be held and cherished.

Happily, self-developing film is making a comeback in a big way, with a broad choice of instant cameras now back on the market.

It’s not just a great gift for the nostalgic photographers pining for the Polaroid days, but a wonderful chance to introduce a younger generation to a forgotten joy.

Give the family hours of fun

If you’re not looking for the latest tech or home entertainment, JB Hi-Fi also has an enormous range of more traditional stocking-stuffers, including hundreds of board games for all ages and interests.

From classic heart pounders like Trivial Pursuit and Scrabble to contemporary thrillers like The Chameleon, there’s no shortage of ways to have your family howling with laughter, delight and a little friendly frustration!
