HOW MUCH?!

Committed furlough fraud? Splash the cash before Rishi comes running with the bill. OK, maybe don’t do that – but anyway, here are some expensive things…

ASTELL & KERN SR25 BLACK EDITION

There’s really nothing wrong with A&K’S silver SR25; but if you’re buying for an emo in need of a personal hi-res music player to suit their mood, the Black Edition will keep them happily miserable. £649 / richer sounds.com

FOCAL FOR BENTLEY RADIANCE

Pittards of Somerset once made gloves for fighter pilots in WWII – but for those sans Spitfire, these lush headphones represent another reason to feel their famous leather against your skin. £1199 / shop.bentley motors.com

SONY A9 MASTER SERIES 48IN OLED

If you’re splashing out on a PS5 this Christmas, it pays to splash out even more on a TV that’s fit for next-gen gaming. Sony’s A9 series OLED has an HDMI 2.1 input so you’re able to display games at their highest framerate with low input lag. Of course, you can also just watch Teen Titans Go! on it.

£1799 / sony.co.uk

BOWFLEX MAX TRAINER M8

Standing on the Max Trainer M8 might make you feel like you’re wearing an exoskeleton without going anywhere, but this beast of a home gym machine is designed for all-body workouts without hogging floor space.

£1999 / fitnesssuperstore.co.uk

TRANSPARENT SPEAKER

Embracing the circular economy, this Swedish hi-fi system is forever upgradable by swapping out components as tech evolves. The new black version includes improved sound and stereo pairing. Bit too expensive? The ‘Small’ model is half the size for half the price. £900 / transpa.rent

BARISIEUR IMMERSION EDITION

Fancy a cuppa? Course they do. This alarm clock will ease them into each new day, awakening the senses with the sound of bubbling water, the smell of fresh tea and a ceiling projection of Cliff Richard’s face (just kidding). It also has a Qi charging pad. £345 / joyresolve.com
