Home security gadgets have come a long way over the years.

We've all been there. Sitting, watching helplessly as your power percentage hovers dangerously in single figures.

Vivid brings in millions of visitors to Sydney's shores every year. And while I love experiencing it on the ground, it can be overwhelming having to battle the crowds in order to see the hundreds of colourful installations spread across the city.

I've been writing about travel products for over ten years now, so you can imagine how many travel products I've gotten my mits on. Hundreds.
