The ghd Platinum+ gift set bundles ghd's smart straightener with the All-Rounder Paddle Brush and a heat-resistant bag. For travellers, this listing is more useful than the standalone Platinum+ pages because it states universal voltage, a 2.7 m cable and sleep mode after 30 minutes. It suits people who want a premium straightener that can also wave, packed and ready for trips, and those buying for someone who colours their hair.

Our take
Predictive heat on the road
Ultra-zone predictive technology, ghd says, adapts to all hair types and styling needs while keeping 185°C consistent across the plates. The maker claims up to 70% stronger hair and twice the colour protection. Away from home, a fixed, self-regulating temperature is reassuring, because you are not adjusting to unfamiliar voltage or settings.
The ceramic floating plates have an ultra-gloss coating that ghd links to up to 75% more shine.
Hinge, barrel and styling range
The signature wishbone hinge keeps the plates aligned for control and balance. A sleek, rounded barrel with curved edges lets you move from straight styles to loose waves, which means one tool covers most looks on holiday.
Voltage and packing
The bullet text states universal voltage, while the spec table shows 240 V input. The bullet is the clearer statement, but it is sensible to check the plug and rating label before using it abroad. The heat-resistant bag allows packing soon after use. Amazon lists 1.28 kg for the whole set, and ghd gives a 2 year manufacturer's guarantee.
Other travel straighteners
The ghd Gold gift set has the same brush and bag with simpler dual-zone heat and a lighter straightener. The ghd Unplugged goes cordless for up to 20 minutes with a carry case. The Faszin 42 mm lists 100 to 240 V and a hinge lock, with adjustable heat.
Who might not need it
If you never curl or wave, the Platinum+'s rounder barrel and predictive heat add less, and the Gold set covers straight styles well. Anyone wanting adjustable temperature will not find it here.
For a recipient with very fine hair, a tool that lets them style below 185°C may be the kinder gift, even if it lacks the ghd name and the travel extras of this set.
Verdict
Choose the Platinum+ gift set if you want ghd's smart straightener with a brush and travel bag, and value waves as well as straight looks. The ghd Gold gift set is the simpler alternative, and the ghd Unplugged makes more sense if cordless touch-ups matter most.
