Forget boys toys, the latest trend is girly gizmos. Did you know women spend three times more on gadgets than cosmetics? We've trawled the net to find 10 tech treats for the ladies.

1. Dare to be different

Ever wished your TV was more colour co-ordinated to fit into your interior style? Or that you could pick it up and take it next door without any hassle? Sony has stretched the boundaries of traditional TV design with their latest decor-friendly creation, the portable Sony BRAVIA B-Series LCD TV, which comes in 20-inch and 23-inch models in pretty pearly white or glossy mocha. Virtual Dolby Surround, BBE ViVa audio signal processing and the Bravia engine means the surround sound and vivid image quality is scarily life-like. The convenient handgrip and all-in-one design means there's no separate stand to bother with when you move it around your pad. Forget nights out with the girls – invite them over to watch videos so you can smugly show off your HD Ready BRAVIA LCD TV.

    Cutting edge technology meets vintage design with this Washed roses Roberts radio (£200) from yummy mummy classic Cath Kidston.

Music to our ears.

  • Aerolatte Milk Frother

    3. Wii will rock you

    Last Christmas, the Queen was happy as larry playing ten pin bowling on Prince William's Nintendo Wii console plus Wii Play, (£229) from Additions Direct – much to the bemusement of the royal party. The Nintendo toy has a wireless handheld pointing device which detects movement in three dimensions. If it's good enough for HRH...

    4. Whip up a storm in a coffee cup

    Fed up of paying for overpriced cappuccinos, then why not bring a touch of Starbucks to your kitchen with this aerolate milk frother (£15) from John Lewis. Never has making a latte been easier, simply heat up the milk add the frother and away you go, the aerolatte does all the hard work for you. Impress your girlfriends with barrista style skills.

  • Casio EXILIM Card EX-S10 (Silver) Digital Camera

    5. Master chef

    Follow the example of mothers and grandmothers worldwide and invest in a chrome Magimix 4200 (£199) from The Conran Shop. Be it for baby purées or slicing vegetables, this whizzer does it all. The 3–in–1 food processor has a quiet induction motor, sabatier blade and handy extras like a citrus press and egg whisk. Guaranteed for 12 years. Mother knows best.

  • Sony DVPFX720 Portable DVD player - Pink

    6. Snap happy

    Get a camera that works without the bore of fiddling with a zillion settings. The simple and sexy Casio Exilim ex s10 digital camera (£171.80) from Amazon fits into the back pocket of the tightest skinny jeans – and is fool-proof to use. Best of all, it comes with snazzy YouTube software making it easier to shoot videos, upload and share. Hen nights, baby's first steps? Just point and squirt.

    8. There's something in the Air

    Surely the MacBook Air was designed with a woman's handbag in mind? Sleek and slender, the Apple MacBook Air, (£1199) from John Lewis, is almost as thin as your index finger – yet still has a 13.3 inch widescreen LED display and full-scale keyboard. The lightweight laptop has become a serious style icon for self respecting businesswomen on the move.

Have a Master Chef and Kenwood mixer on my wish list, would help with making all those apple crumbles and winter homemade soup supplies. What a weird hair dryer, what extremes women go to!

Because gadgets are amazing! I like the idea of the portable dvd player, but surely that is half what laptops are for on journeys? x
