Gift Guides & InspirationWhat’s in the bag?
Each month we delve into the weird and wonderful things people are putting in their baskets. This time the world’s largest gamer brand comes to John Lewis, there’s a colourful menswear trend in town and we’re strapping in for the kids’ summer holidays
Calling all gamers! We've just launched Razer’s award-winning accessories which are now available to buy online and in store with a two-year guarantee. If you’re into your tech you’ll know that Razer’s triple-headed snake logo is one of the most recognisable in the global gaming and esports communities. The company prides itself on having a fan base that spans every continent – as a result Razer has designed and built the world’s largest gamer-focused ecosystem of hardware, software and services.
Razer Basilisk v3 Wired Ergonomic Gaming Mouse, £49.99Yes, this is a gaming mouse (obviously) but not just any gaming mouse. It comes with 11 programmable buttons for an advanced degree of control, RGB lighting that lets you customise each zone from over 16.8 million colours, and a hyperscroll tilt wheel with tactile and free-spin options. It’s also been ergonomically designed with a comfy thumb rest to support your hand.
Razer Huntsman V2 Wired RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, £199.99 Your keyboard matters. RPGs, first-person shooters, 2D side scrollers, whatever your genre, you wouldn’t be anywhere without one.

Partner and Menswear Design Lead Daniel Bradley shares his insight on the trends we’ll be adding to our baskets this month.
Abstract Floral Shirts by Kin
‘This summer the abstract floral printed shirts by a brand we fully design in house at our London studio Kin are a stand out and on my shopping list. The colours are vibrant and can be worn to the pub with a pair of shorts or styled up with suit trousers for a smarter look. They’re also made from Ecovero Viscose which is sustainably sourced through an environmentally responsible fibre process.’
Classic All Surface Swingball
The summer holidays are here and many of us are staring down six (or eight) weeks of entertaining kids. Thankfully there’s also a rumoured heat wave around the corner so we’re hedging our bets on outdoor activities to keep them busy. This classic swingball set is the perfect high energy game to tire them out (while you enjoy a cuppa or a Pimm’s in the shade with your feet up). Perfect for all ages it comes with a tennis ball, two bats and a height-adjustable pole. Just fill the base with sand or water and you’re ready to go.
