Essential Summer Holiday Gadgets

A recent online survey carried out by Holiday Hypermarket found that 72% of the more than 2100 adults who took part, would sacrifice the usual holiday essentials (like sun cream, beach towels and swimwear), in favour of squeezing technology and power cables into their suitcases. Participants of the survey also claimed that they will be taking an average of six technology devices away with them on holiday this year. So we’ve decided to give you some suggestions on just what those six summer tech essentials might be. If you want to suggest others, then we want to hear your ideas – share them in the comments section!

Being on holiday is a time to relax but unfortunately when you've got kids, you need to have eyes in the back of your head at all times. A GPS tracker that can be worn on the wrist or attached to clothing is a great idea, allowing you to keep track of your little ones at all times. You can check out our review of the Hereo GPS watch, which has an accompanying smartphone app.

Of course if you are planning to take any electronic device away with you, please don’t forget to take the chargers, cables and relevant plug adapters if necessary.
