Everyday tech
I feel like AirPods are one of those things na once you have them, you start wondering how you lived without them. 😭 I use mine for literally everything—music while getting ready, watching videos, taking calls, studying, commuting. They’re also just...
AirPods
I honestly love having a smartwatch because I don’t have to pull out my phone every five seconds just to check something. I can see notifications, set timers, check the time, track my activity, and use it when I’m working out. It’s one of those thing...
Apple Watch
A good charger is honestly one of the most underrated purchases. I used to have different charging bricks everywhere until I finally got a good USB-C charger that could handle several of my devices. Anker is my go-to for this because their chargers a...
USB-C Charger
If your bedside table looks like a jungle of charging cables, you need this. 😭 I love having one place where I can charge my phone, watch, earbuds, and other devices instead of having chargers plugged into random outlets around the room. It makes yo...
Anker Nano Power Strip (10-in-1, 70W, Clamp)
“If you don’t have a good power bank yet, please get one.” I literally think this should be in everyone’s bag. There are so many times na you leave the house with enough battery and then suddenly you’re at 10% halfway through the day. I personally li...
Power Banks - Fast Charging Portable Chargers
Entertainment techs
This is such a fun little thing to have at home. I always recommend getting a portable speaker because you’ll end up using it for way more things than you expect—cleaning your room, getting ready, having friends over, going to the beach, having a pic...
Bluetooth Speakers - Buy Authentic Products at the Official JBL Shop
Okay, these are definitely more of an investment, but if you study a lot, travel, or work somewhere noisy, they’re SO worth it. I love putting headphones on when I need to focus because suddenly I don’t care what’s happening around me. Sony’s noise c...
Sony WH-1000XM6 Best Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones
If you’re a reader, I genuinely think you should have a Kindle. I was skeptical about e-readers at first because I love physical books, but there’s something so convenient about having an entire library in something that’s basically the size of a sma...
Kindle E-Readers - Read, Write & Create
Study & Productivity techs
As a student, an iPad is one of the tech purchases I’d recommend the most. I love being able to have my notes, PDFs, readings, presentations, and everything else in one place. It’s also nice when you don’t want to bring your laptop everywhere. You do...
iPad
This is such a simple upgrade but it makes studying or working at your desk feel so much nicer. Especially if you use a laptop for hours. I like having a proper keyboard and mouse because it makes my setup feel more like an actual workstation instead...
Keyboard and Mouse Combos | Logitech Hong Kong
Please back up your important files. 😭 Especially if you’re a student and you have years worth of documents, presentations, photos, videos, and projects on your laptop. I love portable SSDs because they’re tiny enough to throw into your bag, but you...
Portable External SSDs | 1TB, 2TB, 4TB & 8TB
This is probably one of the cheapest upgrades you can make to your desk, but it makes such a difference. I love having my laptop elevated instead of sitting completely flat on the desk. It also gives you more space underneath for your keyboard or oth...
Amazon Best Sellers: Best Laptop Stands
If you do a lot of schoolwork or work from your laptop, you need to try having two screens. 😂 It sounds unnecessary until you actually use one. You can have your lecture or reference material on one screen and your notes or document on the other. An...
Portable Monitor
Smart-Home Techs
I know smart lights can sound like something you absolutely don’t need, but they’re actually one of my favorite little room upgrades. I love being able to change the brightness or turn the lights on and off without getting up. You can also make your ...
Smart LED light bulbs
This is another one where you’re like, “Why would I need a smart plug?” until you actually have one. 😂 I like using them for lamps and other appliances because you can control them from your phone and set schedules. It’s such a small thing, but once...
Smart Wi-Fi Plugs | TP-Link Philippines
If your Wi-Fi is amazing in one room and absolutely horrible in another, this is something I’d look into. 😭 A mesh Wi-Fi system basically helps spread your connection throughout your home instead of having that one annoying dead zone where nothing l...
Mesh Router & Mesh Wifi Systems
I really like having a camera at home, especially when you’re away. You can quickly check what’s happening at home, see if a package arrived, or just make sure everything is okay. I’d definitely stick with a reputable brand for something like this be...
Home Security Cameras: Wireless, Wired, & Wi-Fi
On-the-Go Techs
If you travel internationally, buy one and just leave it in your travel bag. Seriously. 😂 I don’t want to arrive at a hotel and realize my charger doesn’t fit the outlet. I love the ones that have multiple USB ports too because then you can charge s...
Travel Adapter Worldwide All-in-One Plug
If you travel internationally, buy one and just leave it in your travel bag. Seriously. 😂 I don’t want to arrive at a hotel and realize my charger doesn’t fit the outlet. I love the ones that have multiple USB ports too because then you can charge s...
AirTag
This might be the most Filipino recommendation on this entire list. 😭 But trust me, you need one. I keep seeing people carrying these everywhere and honestly, I get it. It’s so nice when you’re commuting, waiting outside, studying somewhere warm, tr...
JISULIFE 3 IN 1 Portable Fan w/ Power Bank & Flashlight
