How we put this guide together
Our choices draw on a mix of manufacturer data, the aggregated judgement of real users and — where we can — our own years on the shop floor. We weigh value for money, how long something lasts and whether it truly suits the recipient. Products that aren't worth the price simply don't make the cut. Prices fluctuate, so if something's on your list, compare before you order.
