It’s the season of giving, but as much as we know that you’d want to, you can’t just give all your gadget-loving friends a brand new iPhone.
So here we have a list of trinkets that we think your special-but-not-to-the-moon-and-back-special person in your life, who’s into gadgets and all sorts of new-fangled circuitry, may appreciate! Or you know, you can also just buy these things for yourself, because some of these can be the kind of accessories you didn’t know you needed until you had it.
What’s better than 1 port? Two ports. Seriously, that’s no joke. Socket space can be a headache for gadget lovers, and it’s a hassle to plug things in and out. A dual-port charging adapter gives you an extra charging line while occupying just one socket.
Do you hate how it’s so hard to use your phone in bed while charging with the usual short USB-C cable? These extra long 10-feet cables will change your life.
There are also braided cable options if you like that look, and for the extra durability of course. Do take note of the wattage, and get something that can accommodate the fast-charging capabilities of phones and laptops.
This 100-watt cable should be able to accommodate those, although sometimes there are compatibility issues with adaptors that don’t allow for fast-charging. It’s best to bring your charger at the store, and try if the fast-charging works.
This smart card works like AirTags, allowing you to track devices or wallets. But what’s great about this is that it’s shaped like a card, so it fits in your wallet even easier than an AirTag. It’s works on Apple’s Find My app.
If you have a friend who’s into creating content, this combination light and phone desktop stand is an invaluable tool. Beats having to prop up their phone on surfaces!
Smart plugs let you control your sockets on your phone. Too lazy to turn that fan off? Turn off the smart plug on your phone. Forgot if you turned off the lamp? Turn it off on your phone.
Bluetooth transmitter receiver for plane rides
Hate those poor quality earphones on planes and you wish you could just use your wireless earphones? This Bluetooth transmitter receiver is what you need. Plug it into the aux, and connect your wireless earphones. Make sure to only connect when the flight attendants say it’s ok to turn your Bluetooth on!
The gadget lover needs some analog entertainment too! This simple puzzle that involves pattern solving is a quick, easy way to take a break from the screen.
Mini powerbank with built in USB-C port
May powerbank na ba ang lahat? Of course, meron na. But not everyone has this cute, little powerbank with a built-in USB-C port. You’ll love how compact it is.
USB-C magnetic breakaway power cable
The USB-C made it far easier to plug in a cable but do you want to make it even more effortless? This magnetic add-on allows your cable to connect magnetically to a port, which means, even less effort for you to connect the device.
Desktop companion: Squishy cat
It’s basically a stress ball that’s shaped like a cat, and it can just sit on your desktop ready to de-stress a gamer who’s just lost his last 10 rounds of Valorant. If they’re going to release some of that frustration, then better this than their expensive keyboard.
