Tom needs useful student tech under £45
Tom has moved into a shared student flat with thin walls and one plug socket. Small, useful tech is the whole brief — recognisable, easy to use and not embarrassing in front of flatmates.
What Karido understands
The details that turn a generic idea into a personal oneTheir taste
Look for. Black and white, minimal, gadget-led and recognisable brands.
Avoid. Books, parent-chosen clothes, home décor and anything he would have to explain to friends.
The moment
Occasion. Christmas, December.
The detail that matters
The flat has thin walls and his phone is always dead by four in the afternoon.
