5 New Tech Products Worth Showing Off to Houseguests
From a chic standing desk to a vacuum that looks like it belongs in the future. We all love a bit of show-and-tell, especially when it comes to tech that doesn’t just make life easier but looks good doing it. Whether it’s a sleek home upgrade or a gadget that sparks envy (and maybe a few questions from curious visitors), today’s tech is as much about aesthetics as it is about function.
Here are five tech products that will wow your guests, upgrade your lifestyle, and absolutely deserve a place in your smart, stylish home.
1. The Lexon Oblio Wireless Charging Station + UV Sanitiser
Sleek, smart, and surprisingly useful.
This award-winning device is a minimalist dream. The Lexon Oblio looks like a piece of modern sculpture, but it’s actually a wireless charger that also uses UV-C light to kill 99.9% of surface bacteria on your phone in just 20 minutes.
Place it by the front door or on your hallway console and wait for the compliments (and confused looks) when you drop your phone in.
RRP: £79
2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni Robot Vacuum
A vacuum that could pass for a piece of Star Wars kit!
If your houseguests spot this, they’ll probably assume it’s some sort of AI assistant - and they wouldn’t be far off. The Deebot X2 Omni not only vacuums, it mops, self-empties and even dries its own cleaning pads. It’s one of the smartest robot vacuums on the market, and its flat, square design lets it clean deep into corners and under furniture.
It’s the gadget you didn’t know you needed - until your guests start asking for the link.
RRP: £1,490
3. Deskr Modular Standing Desk
Function meets form in your home office.
Standing desks are no longer reserved for startups and Silicon Roundabout. The Deskr is a modular desk system made from sustainable materials with a clean, Scandinavian design. It features integrated wireless charging, cable management, and you can customise it with lighting or desk plants.
It’s a statement piece that boosts productivity while making your office feel like an Instagram-worthy studio.
RRP: from £450
A television or a gallery piece? Your guests won’t know the difference!
When it’s off, it displays fine art. When it’s on, it’s a stunning QLED screen. The new 2024 Samsung Frame TV has a thinner bezel and anti-glare display, making it even more convincing as a work of art.
You can change the “artwork” at will, and even upload personal photos to display. It’s TV - but not as you know it.
RRP: £1,259.30

5. Ember Smart Mug 2
The little luxury that impresses every time!
It might look like a regular ceramic mug, but the Ember Mug 2 is a temperature-controlled cup that keeps your tea or coffee at the perfect drinking temperature for over an hour.
Available in sleek colours like matte black or rose gold, it’s the ideal desk accessory - and a surefire conversation starter.
RRP: £129.99
Whether you’re upgrading for style, convenience or just because you love good design, these five gadgets prove that tech doesn’t have to be hidden away. In fact, you’ll want to show them off!
