ROUND-UP: Shiny Shiny's Christmas 2012 gift guides

This year we’ve been busy little elves, collecting together the top gadgets, accessories and cool things from the past 12 months that would make the best gifts for your loved ones. Whether you’re looking for a cheap eReader (we’d go for the 6″ Kindle), awesome new Android camera (Samsung Galaxy all the way) or a gold plated vibrator (this one from Lelo will sort you out), we’re here to help.

Every time we write up a new gift guide we’ll be adding it to the list below, so you don’t have to go searching here, there and everywhere for what you need either.

If you’d like us to review a certain product, pull together a specific kind of gallery or write up a buying guide about how to choose the best kind of product, then let us know in the comments below or get in touch with us on Twitter @ShinyShiny.

Top 5 UK eReaders for all budgets

Everyday we get sent research telling us that eReaders are purchased as gifts and then never used afterwards, but regardless of what surveys tell us there are still a LOT of die-hard eReader fans, just take a look at how many hands are full of shiny little Kindles on the tube.

So here’s our pick of five eReaders available in the UK whatever your budget happens to be. Just make sure the person you’re buying for isn’t stuck in the past and would happily accept a little eReader over a regular book made of paper and old stuff (eww).

Our favourite eReader: The Kindle Paperwhite with a built-in light.

We’ve collected together some of our favourite cameras available to buy online or direct from UK high street stores, for those that like to stay on top of trends, social media addicts and complete beginners as well as a few more.

10 Samsung Galaxy S3 cases for her

Yeah we know, a phone case for a Christmas present? Bit lame, right? Well not if you pick something from our list that doesn’t just protect the new Samsung Galaxy SIII but looks awesome too.
