The Dorkiest (And Best) Apple Watch Stand
This is a bit of a nostalgia grab, but the original Apple was the computer I grew up with… so obviously I had to get this Apple Watch charging stand as soon as I saw it. Why would you have your watch just laying around while it’s charging when it could be a little mini Mac?
