Dyson Airwrap i.d. Multi-Styler
Our verdict · The wish-list splurge that turns a gift into an event, if the budget stretches to around £480.
Buy it if
You want one standout present for someone who styles her hair often and would never spend this much on herself.
Skip it if
She has very short hair, prefers a simple plug-in-and-go dryer, or the budget realistically tops out well below £480.

The Airwrap i.d. is Dyson's latest multi-styler and the natural pick for a landmark gift, sitting at a Dyson UK RRP of £479.99 (frequently discounted in Black Friday and January sales). It uses the Coanda effect to curl, wave, smooth and dry with high-speed airflow instead of damaging heat, and the i.d. generation adds Bluetooth MyDyson-app connectivity that Dyson says lets you save an i.d. curl sequence tailored to the recipient's hair type and length. Choose the Straight+Wavy or Curly+Coily set to match her hair; the barrels and brushes swap magnetically. It is expensive and the app-led setup is more than a casual user needs, but as a single, universally recognised want-it gift, nothing else here has the same wow factor.
The good & the bad
Pros
- Styles and dries in one tool using airflow rather than extreme heat
- App-tailored settings and curl memory matched to hair type in the i.d. generation, per Dyson
- Instantly recognisable premium gift with genuine wow factor
Cons
- Around £479.99 at RRP is a major outlay
- App-led setup is more involved than most people need
