If 2014 was the year of the selfie, it’s looking increasingly likely that 2015 will be the year of the selfie stick.

The stick enables users to take a better selfie with distance lending enchantment to the view.

When this latest accessory first went on the market at the end of the summer, nobody could have predicted just how much a retractable pole that people clamp onto their smartphones would catch on.

However it was one of 2014’s most popular Christmas presents and sales have continued in to the new year. Ebay UK said searches have risen 700 per cent with more than 90 selfie sticks being sold every hour over the past 90 days.

It looks like many of you in Chester unwrapped a selfie stick from Santa. If you would like us to add your picture to our gallery send it to us using the form below or tweet us at @ChesterChron or @EPPioneer
