The best kind of presents to receive are often ones you have no legitimate need for; the gifts intended purely to put smiles on faces. And, having a little fun is exactly what this week's giveaway is all about. To get you in the Christmas spirit, our friends at Orbotix have been kind enough to supply no less than four of their speedy, app-controlled robots for us to send the way of big and small kids alike. We've got one of the company's Sphero 2.0 ball-bots to give away, as well as three of the newer Ollie bots, including an all-black and limited-edition Darkside model, meaning everyone has a whopping four chances to win. As is tradition, you can enter up to three times via the Rafflecopter widget below, though we'd advise a quick scan of the rules beforehand, if you wouldn't mind. Winning: congrats to David S. from Thames Ditton, Adam T. from Newcastle, Nihal C. from Warrington and Jon R. from Oldham.

The top-of-the-range GoPro, which can record gorgeous 4K video at 30 fps, has been supplied by our generous friends at Tagstr, the media-centric social network that uses hashtags to blend the photo, video and audio content of users into "shared moments." A few new features have been added since we last caught up with Tagstr, too, including support for multiple file uploads and the ability to import media from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to share on Tagstr. As per usual, UK residents can enter the GoPro giveaway up to three times via the Rafflecopter widget below. After they've read the rules, that is. Winning: congrats to Michael J. from Cambridge!

Engadget UK giveaway: win a Pebble Steel courtesy of GeniusFlight
School's out for summer, and many of you are no doubt looking forward to sun, sea, several strong cocktails and a few weeks off work. Foreign lands are always better enjoyed with a trusted travel companion, and in lieu of actual friends, we're giving away a black Pebble Steel to fill that role. The second-generation e-ink smartwatch is smaller, classier and pricier than its predecessor, and comes to us courtesy of GeniusFlight: a flight searching site with a difference. GeniusFlight revolves primarily around your budget, which you specify alongside preferred travel dates and departing destination. The tool then tells you where in the world that money will take you, hopefully with some inspiring options you wouldn't have come up with unaided.

Engadget UK Giveaway: win a GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition courtesy of Tagstr
It's currently the British definition of summer: a few short weeks in which to fit all the swimming, surfing, skating, cycling and sightseeing you possibly can. And, to prove you actually took advantage of the sun instead of sitting in a darkened room complaining it's too hot, we're giving away a GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition for you to catalog it all. This top of the range GoPro comes with a wireless remote, waterproof housing and selection of mounts to get you started, and was provided by the team at Tagstr. Accessible on the web or through its iOS app, Tagstr is a media-centric social network that groups uploaded photos, videos and audio based on their hashtags, creating "shared moments" from the content of its users. You have a personal profile (Facebook and Twitter login is supported) which friends can follow, but the real point of Tagstr is to explore and contribute to "moments" for different events, themes and more -- the perfect place to share some of your #summer GoPro footage, perhaps? In pursuit of a free GoPro, anyone can submit up to three entries via the Rafflecopter widget below. Oh, and give the rules a quick once-over while you're down there.
