5. Embrace portable power

Free yourself from sockets and charge mobile devices on-the-move with a PowerBank from GP Batteries. This piece of kit allows you to boost your phone, tablet, iPod or other tech whenever and wherever you like, so you’ll never have to worry about running of battery life when you’re on the move.

8. Budget better













Make 2018 the year you finally get your finances in check. Whether you’re saving towards something – a holiday, new home or wedding, for instance – or simply want to squirrell more away, budgeting apps like Money Dashboard are a great way to track your spending. It categorises your outgoings so that you can easily identify where you could, and should, be cutting down.
