We're a week out from Christmas and if you're still searching for gifts, I've got one that's thoughtful, genuinely useful and takes no time at all to set up.

Why not give something they'll actually love?

An Aura Frame.

I feel so organised this year because I've already got one ready to gift my family and I genuinely can't wait to see their reaction when they open it.

It's a digital photo frame, but smarter and more personal.

You can preload it with your favourite photos, add a message and it arrives in a lovely gift box so you don't even need to wrap it.

And the best bit, once it's up and running, you can keep adding to it.

Friends and family can send new photos or even short videos straight to the frame from anywhere.

No memory cards, no fiddly setup, no subscription, just a meaningful gift that your family and friends will love and that lasts all year round.

Lando's and McLaren's success means that Max Verstappen missed out on equaling Michael Schumacher's record of winning five world championships in a row.

But he didn't give his title away easily.

After trailing then-championship leader Oscar Piastri by 104 points after Zandvoort, Max fought back into contention to take the title race down to the wire in Abu Dhabi.

He won that race, but missed out on the title by just two points.

Even though he didn't come out on top, 2025 was yet another season in which Max reminded us of his greatness.
