Gadgets are so cool! They make our lives easier, they bring us entertainment, and they give us hours of… manual reading while we try to figure out just how the heck to work the dang things. I promise there aren’t too many head-scratching gadgets on this list, but there are quite a few that are really going to make your life easier! This headphone headband for sleep is my favorite one on the list. Though this desk vacuum comes in a close second.
Take a scroll through this list and find yourself something to spark a little joy and bring a little more ease to your life. Maybe you’ll enjoy this magnetic phone holder that attaches straight to your laptop screen; I know I do! Feel free to thank me later when you’re living in the future.
Listen On the Go
That in-flight entertainment is a wonderful thing, but it’s far less wonderful when you can’t use your own headphones. There’s just something about the plane-provided headphones that are no good. Fortunately, this little gadget plugs right in and lets you connect your favorite wireless headphones via Bluetooth.
Turn Anything Into a Screen
I don’t know about you, but I love how cool projectors are! They can turn just about any surface into an easily viewed screen. This awesome projector allows you to use WiFi or Bluetooth to project directly so you can turn any space into a home theatre.
Keep It Together
Gadgets and electronics are awesome, but they’re not cheap! And the last thing you want to do is lose them. Fortunately, this traveling case has been designed just for your gadgets. Keep them all right where you want them. It’s a great on-the-go gadget option!
Keep It Cool
What’s cooler than a fan that runs off the USB port in your laptop? A fan that runs off the USB port in your laptop and also brightly displays a clock face as it spins, that’s what! This is the gadget to get the techie that’s got it all.
Play That Funky Music
Anker is one of my favorite techie gadget creators out there. They create amazing and strong power banks and now; amazing speakers! This speaker packs a powerful punch and gives you incredible sound just about anywhere with its Bluetooth connectivity and wireless playing capabilities.
Keep Everything Organized
I love this tray! It keeps everything right where you want it so you can get up first thing in the morning and immediately scoop your stuff and walk out the door. No more hunting for your small, handheld devices in the dark in the mornings.
Charge on the Go
There’s nothing like being on vacation. And then your phone battery dies. And now there’s nothing like being lost on vacation. That’s where this portable charger comes in; it plugs right into your phone for a small, discreet, and easily portable charge anywhere you go.
Bring the ’Gram to Life
Have you ever wished you could just print out your Instagram grid? Now you can! This HP mini printer allows you to print your favorite photos straight from your phone. Now you can recreate your Instagram grid right on your bedroom wall or blow up your favorite image from your grandkid’s Facebook page.
An All-Purpose Phone Stand
It’s a speaker! It’s a phone stand! It’s both! This phone stand gives you the stand you’re looking for, but it also provides the ability to play sound straight through the Bluetooth connection. Watch whatever you want, hands-free, or FaceTime hands-free while cooking up dinner.
Enlarge Your Phone Screen
I didn’t know you could make your phone screen a little bigger, but it turns out that with this gadget, you can! It’s a little phone projector that just gives your screen a little bit of a boost so you can take a little strain off your eyes.
Make Clean Up a Snap
This gadget really changes the cleaning game. Now you can target those small nooks and crannies on your desk or in your keyboard for a truly deep clean. Because the last thing that you want is to walk into a messy office in the morning.
Take Control
Do you like taking pictures that you’re actually in? Then you’re going to love this thing! This gadget allows you to wirelessly snap pictures that you’re in with just the press of a button. It’s a great option for family photos or for those great travel pics that take some extra staging.
It’s Not Always About the Gadget
This gadget is cool because it reminds us it’s not always all about the gadget. It keeps your favorite handheld devices locked away so you can enjoy your time with friends and family without constantly checking every ping or vibration throughout dinner or family game night.
Keep It Up
This stand lets you keep your phone up and standing right where you’d like it so you can keep an eye on the small screen while you’ve got your hands busy with something else. It’s great for use in the kitchen if you need to see a recipe or during a Zoom meeting so you can keep your notes close.
Keep It At Eye Level
If you’re trying to keep an eye on multiple things at once, this phone clip is the ultimate option. This keeps your phone attached to your laptop or computer screen so you can keep an eye on both screens at once and keep your hands available, too.
Sleep Sounds
I really enjoy listening to sleep meditations while I’m going to bed. Unfortunately, my headphones always manage to slide right out of my ears or wake me up because they’re so uncomfortable. That’s why I love this headband; I can listen to my faves in comfort for a quality snooze.
Cool It Down
It’s not easy to stay cool when you’re really working hard in the office, especially if you’re in an office with less than ideal circulation. Fortunately, this awesome desk fan plugs right into your computer’s USB port and lets you cool yourself down simply and effectively.
Elevate Your Viewing Experience
TV is awesome, but it’s not easy to find the best viewing system for you. Amazon Fire Stick is my favorite way to view my favorite shows and movies. It’s easy to use and makes the viewing experience a dream. Plus, it works with your Amazon Prime account!
Never Lose Track of What Matters
AirTags are probably the most genius thing Apple has made in years, IMHO. You just clip this to your luggage, your keys, your laptop bag, whatever, and track its location from your phone. No more worrying about luggage or losing time searching for lost keys.
Make Your House Smarter
Smart houses are the future, y’all. It’s time to jump on that trend. I recommend starting small with this great Amazon Echo Dot. It’s not too advanced for those that aren’t accustomed to smart speakers, but it packs a real technological punch that’ll bring your space into the 21st century.
Read Anytime, Anywhere
The Fire Tablet gives you the ability to read whenever you’d like, no matter how dark it gets. It’s also basically a mini computer that you can keep right in your purse so it can go with you anywhere. No clunky laptops!
Protect Your Devices
We can’t control the weather, believe it or not, but we can control what happens to our devices in the weather. This awesome surge protector, that takes standard plugs and USB plus keeps your devices safe from power surges and lightning strikes so you can use them without worry.
Take Your Phone Everywhere… Literally
Now you can take your phone absolutely anywhere, including under the water! You can keep the photo and videos going even below the waves without worrying about destroying your phone. You can even text under water, if you find you need to, with the touch-screen plastic cover.
Charge Anytime
Power banks are my secret weapon when I travel. I try to keep at least two on me while I’m out on the road. You never know when you’re gonna need a little juice, and the last thing you want is to need it while you’re in the middle of your travel day.
Wireless Listening
If you don’t have wireless headphones yet, you’ve got to treat yourself to this awesome pair! They’re super affordable so you don’t need to break the bank, but they’re just as powerful and portable as their competitors so you can rest assured you’re getting a great sound.
Adapt to Your Situation
Adaptors are something every gadget-lover should be pretty familiar with. You never know when you’re going to run into something that doesn’t quite work with your favorite handheld devices. This adaptor goes from lightning to 3.5mm. Many users buy it so their headphones can still work with their newer phones.
Never Run Out of Charge
You can never have too many portable power banks. You don’t want to run out of power while you’re traveling or even just throughout your day. This power bank will keep you charged up all day so you can make it from the hotel in the morning back to the hotel in the evening.
Boost the Ring Sound
If you’ve got Ring alarms and cameras, you’re going to want this gadget. This gives you an in-house speaker that lets you hear your alerts and alarms right away — no need to look at your phone to see what’s going on, you can hear it right from your kitchen! Or anywhere else, for that matter.
Keep an Eye Out
It’s never a bad idea to have extra security and cameras are probably the best way to keep yourself secure. These cameras come equipped with night vision so you can easily keep an eye on the comings and goings in all of your outdoor space.
The Ultimate Combo
Keyboard and a mouse? Name a more iconic duo. I’ll wait. Okay, I’m sure you could come up with some other duos, but this is probably the most iconic in the tech world. Logitech brings you the only keyboard and mouse you’ll ever need, Bluetooth compatible with your devices.
Take It On the Go
It’s not easy to find a high-quality laptop bag. This awesome laptop bag is my favorite style — the book bag! There are plenty of pockets and plenty of space so you can keep everything you need right there with you and safely take your laptop with you wherever you go.
Wireless Charging
Wireless charging is really growing and exploding, and so many phones are capable of it now and all the new phones seem to be. This awesome charger makes it as simple as setting your phone down to get a full charge. It’s pretty dang quick, too, which never hurts!
Take Your Sound with You
In my opinion, music should be everywhere at all times. But that’s just me. If you’re like me, this speaker is the product for you. It clips to any of your bags or packs and lets you take your tunes on the go so you can set the mood, and boost the mood, anywhere.
The Ultimate Travel Gadget
Selfie sticks are awesome. Tripods are awesome. But what’s more awesome than those? The two combined! This gadget is a selfie stick and a tripod all in one; it’s the ultimate travel tool so you can get any shot you want, no matter what sort of angle you’re trying to get.
Light It Up
Ring lights are really going to change your selfie game. Or your Zoom meeting game. It’s a great way to apply some powerful, flattering, concentrated light right on your face. This ring light allows you to set the right color for your pictures or situation so you’re never washed out.
Connect It All
I don’t know about you, but I prefer a mouse to a scroll pad. I don’t know why that is. Probably because I grew up with them, but who knows? This mouse allows you to connect your computer to it without needing to use Bluetooth, just in case your computer is too old for all that.
A Gadget for the Kiddos
This is the ultimate kiddo gadget. Not only is this a great nightlight option, but it also works as an alarm, a timer, and a routine helper. As a former nanny, I love using this gadget to help bring a fun, techie spin to kiddo’s routines every day.
