Everyday Gadgets

I bought this mainly for walking because gnats do not respect my personal space. It clips on, has 5 speeds, includes a flashlight, and can even help charge your phone in an emergency. Handy for walks, yard work, ballgames, or anytime you need a breez...

Rechargeable Clip-On Waist or w/Lanyard 5-Speed Fan

Because apparently one charging cord is never enough anymore. This foldable 3-in-1 charger helps keep your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods in one spot without cord chaos taking over the nightstand. I love that it folds up for travel and works as a s...

Foldable 3-in-1 Wireless Charger for iPhone, Watch & AirPods

This is one of those little gadgets you don’t think you need until your Apple Watch is almost dead. It’s small enough to keep in your purse, bag, or on a keychain, and it gives you a backup charge without having to carry the full charging cord everyw...

Portable Apple Watch Keychain Charger

Because short charging cords are disrespectful. This 2-pack comes with fast charging blocks and longer cords, so you can keep one by the bed, one by the couch, or wherever your phone decides to need attention.

Great little gadget if your vehicle needs a Bluetooth upgrade and extra charging options. I like that it works as an FM transmitter, car charger, and has retractable cords so you don’t have cables hanging everywhere like a small electronic jungle.

Bluetooth Car Adapter with Retractable Charger

I love these for lamps, Christmas lights, and anything I want to control without crawling behind furniture. You can set a lamp to turn on and off at certain times, which is great even when you’re out of town. At Christmas, I like being able to group ...

Kasa Wi-Fi Smart Plugs

I have this and love using it in the kitchen. I can watch Netflix and other shows, listen to music, pull up Alexa, and use it for so many home and organization features while I’m cooking. It does way more than I even expected.

Amazon Echo Show 21 Kitchen Hub

I have this tripod and love how easy it is to use with my MagSafe phone case. The removable Bluetooth remote connects seamlessly, and I like that it adjusts to different heights or works as a selfie stick when needed.

I ordered this for my husband’s older Toyota Tundra pickup, and it fit perfectly. It was just what we needed and worked great for his truck.

Toyota Tundra Truck Accessory

Great little portable speaker for work, outdoor projects, or anytime you want hands-free music or calls. I like that it clips on, is water-resistant, and is easy to take along without carrying a bulky speaker.

DEWALT Clip-On Bluetooth Speaker

Great little tool for trimming branches and small cutting jobs around the yard. I like that it’s cordless, handheld, and comes with two batteries, making it handy for quick outdoor projects without dragging out a big chainsaw.

Seesii Mini Cordless Chainsaw

This is a great higher-ticket gadget for emergencies, power outages, camping, or backup power at home. I like that it can charge phones, devices, and other essentials, and the USB-C fast charging is a nice bonus. Definitely one of those practical ite...

Jackery Portable Power Station

A practical gadget to keep in the vehicle for emergencies. It can jump start a battery, inflate tires, fast charge devices, and has a built-in LED light, making it a great all-in-one truck or car helper.

A high-end tech find for anyone wanting a powerful unlocked Android phone with lots of storage, Galaxy AI features, an AI camera, fast charging, and a long-lasting battery. Great for photos, videos, everyday use, and staying connected.

Baltimore Ravens Echo Dot Bundle

I have this phone holder in my vehicle, and so far it is surviving the heat! It has a sticky bottom, and then you can turn the bottom portion to create a suction that really helps keep it in place. It works with MagSafe cases, and once your phone is ...

MagSafe Car Phone Holder That Stays Put

I have this clampable convex mirror and use it on my tripod so I can film with my phone’s front camera while still seeing what I’m doing. It makes it so much easier to stay in frame and know if the shot looks right without guessing. It’s technically ...

Clamp-On Mirror for Filming

I bought this from Walmart to keep at my house for when my grandbaby visits, and I love that it does not require an app on my phone. It comes with its own screen that I can carry from room to room as long as it’s charged. The picture is clear, the so...
