Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ – RM 3,099
Samsung’s biggest curved edge to edge display smartphone has been a hit and people haven’t stopped raving about it. A bigger AMOLED screen has mostly everyone swooning and its shortcuts on those tapered sides are really helpful.

BlackBerry PRIV – RM 3,559
Need security and a slide-out keyboard in your life? The PRIV might just be the particular Android smartphone you were looking for.
Priced really out of the world, it’ll take a lot of convincing or obsessiveness for you to purchase this for someone. But hey, if they need a BlackBerry, we guess it’ll be hard for them to adapt to anything else.

DJI Phantom 3 Professional Drone – RM 5,431 (US$ 1,259)
Aerial drones, no longer machinery available only for cinematic experts, as they’ve become more accessible for the regular consumer. If you’re looking for another tool in your video/photo-taking arsenal, the Phantom 3 Professional is one of the best video-enabled drones out there.
Built with a 4K enabled camera on board, this sick flying machine can produce that said quality at 30 frames per second and take 12-megapixel stills too. The camera that sits under the drone’s body also has a 3-axis stabilisation gimbal, so no turbulence is gonna shake out your videos.
Whoever you’re buying this for will also get Live HD View, a feature that allows you to beam what the camera sees onto a phone or tablet in real-time, through the app. Don’t worry about the learning curve to man the Phantom 3 either, since many have said that their easy to fly, with the included joystick controller. And a beginner mode walkthrough will take you through the paces, if you’re really uncomfortable.
