Charging & power
Charges phone, watch and AirPods from one tidy stand, great for a nightstand or a gift. Caveat: the included power brick varies, so check the wattage you get.
Anker MagSafe Charger Compatible, MagGo 3-in-1 Qi2
The simplest fast charger for any iPhone, and it's tiny enough to live in a bag. Caveat: the cable is sold separately.
Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter
Pocket-size 10,000mAh power bank with a built-in USB-C cable, handy for travel or as a stocking stuffer. Caveat: it's not magnetic, so it won't snap onto an iPhone.
Anker Nano Power Bank, 45W 10000mAh Portable
The official magnetic charger: snaps on perfectly and works with every MagSafe iPhone. Caveat: it's pricey for 15W, and you'll need your own power adapter.
Apple MagSafe Charger (1 m): Wireless Charger
iPhone & AirPods
Clear case with built-in magnets, so it keeps MagSafe charging and shows off the phone's color. Caveat: clear cases can yellow over time, and you need to pick the right iPhone model.
Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit iPhone 16 Pro Max
Clip one on your keys, bag or luggage and find it in the Find My app. Perfect gift for the forgetful, but it only works well with iPhone and the tracking range depends on nearby Apple devices.
Apple AirTag (2nd Generation)
Great noise cancellation and transparency mode, and they pair instantly with iPhone and Mac. Caveat: they're a splurge, and the tips need the right fit to sound their best.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) with MagSafe
A magnetic stand that props your iPhone up for StandBy mode as a bedside clock or desk display while it charges. Caveat: it needs a decent power adapter to hit full charging speed.
Belkin MagSafe 3 in 1 Wireless Charging Stand
Mac desk setup
Adds HDMI, USB-A and an SD slot to a MacBook that only has USB-C ports, which is a lifesaver for a desk setup. Caveat: cheap hubs can run warm, so pick one with pass-through charging.
Anker USB C Hub, 7-in-1 Multi-Port USBC Hub
Lifts your MacBook to eye level and adds airflow, which helps posture a lot when paired with an external keyboard. Caveat: it's not adjustable and you can't fold it flat.
Rain Design mStand Laptop Stand (Silver, mStand)
The best mouse I know for long Mac work days: quiet clicks, a smooth scroll wheel and easy multi-device switching. Caveat: it's big and pricey, so it's less ideal for small hands.
Logitech MX Master 3S Mac Wireless Mouse
Low-profile, comfortable typing, and Touch ID makes logins and Apple Pay on a desktop Mac effortless. Caveat: no backlight, and it's expensive next to third-party keyboards.
