Currys PC World has revealed its top must-have Christmas tech gifts which have been voted for by customers, as part of the technology retailer’s newly launched Customer Collective.

The popular electrical retailer has created the Customer Collective to answer real-life tech challenges and conundrums faced by customers every day.

Made up of people from across the country, the first challenge centred around finding the must-have tech gifts for Christmas2019, as tried-and-tested by those who know best – customers.

This unique initiative has revealed insights about the way people are approaching gifting this Christmas.

This year’s trends are all about being practical; giving gifts that feel generous, but will be useful, functional and have life after December 25.
