Polaroid Z340

If your boyfriend is still mourning the loss of the original Polaroid camera, then here’s something that should certainly cheer him up. Polaroid’s new instant digital camera, the Z340, combines innovative design with just a hint of nostalgia. It’s more lightweight than the original and certainly packs a huge amount of technology into its compact frame, with 14.0 megapixels, a 2.7” colour LCD screen, the ability to view and crop images on the camera, a built-in zero ink printing technology printer and smudge-proof, water-resistant, tear-resistant photos. Best of all, though, it combines all that innovation with loads of style – but then with Lady Gaga as Creative Director we wouldn’t expect anything less.

White Mountaineering Trainers

Ok, deep breath: this present means less wardrobe space for us. But then gone are the days when our boyfriends only own two pairs of footwear. These days it seems like a man can never have enough pairs of trainers. Anyhow, we love these chic Shipton high-tops from White Mountaineering for their cool take on the classic basketball trainer. Crafted from soft black leather and suede with a running stitch pattern, these go-with-everything trainers keep branding to a minimum and are perfect for getting out and about this spring. We like.
