Want list | Fujifilm X10
A brand-new but retro-styled “bridge” camera (a category between a compact and an SLR) that features a manual zoom — something its more powerful, but equally classy forebear, the X100, lacks. And with a 12MP sensor, pop-up flash, optical viewfinder, hot shoe for mounting external accessories and a die-cast aluminium-alloy body, the X10 is not to be sniffed at. You also have semi-auto and manual shooting modes and a high-contrast 2.8in LCD monitor on the back, so you can play back that full HD video. This ease of use coupled with old-school design is an attractive combination. Snap one up. (£500, fujifilm.eu/uk)

Want List | HTC Sensation XE

Want list | Fisher Space Pen
Ever wanted a pen that would work in Space? Don’t answer that. Of course you have. This Fisher pen is one that was used by US astronauts (until they stopped, presumably because they had more important things to do than take notes). Aside from having the design chops to be inducted into the MOMA, it can also write in extreme temperatures – anything from minus 30 degrees to 250 degrees – and will even work upside down. And all this means one thing: it’ll be great for showing off at the pub. (£19.50, Oi Polloi)

Christmas want list | Freecom hard drive
It looks more like a wallet than an external hard drive. That’s because this streamlined slice of portable storage is one of the smallest drives in the world, not to mention one of the fastest. Fully loaded with lightning-quick USB 3.0 tech and weighing a mere 155g, the Freecom XXS can hold up to 1TB of data (the equivalent of 250,000 songs) and comes in a businesslike, black leather finish. (€129, freecom.com)
