Charging Power Strip

If you know someone who doesn’t have enough electrical outlets (which is pretty much anyone who has electricity), get them this charging power strip. The Nuozhi Cruise Essentials Power Strip comes with seven charging ports: three outlets and four USB ports (three USB-A and one USB-C).

This power strip is cruise ship compliant according to the manufacturer and is handy everywhere you need charging. Plug in your laptop, phone, tablet, reader, lamp, and Echo device, and you’ll still have an available charging port.

Nuozhi Cruise Essentials Power Strip is available at Amazon for $14.97.

Portable Charger and Battery Pack

When you need to charge your phone, tablet, or other devices, you may not be near an outlet. But if you want to use a battery pack, you may not remember to charge it before you leave home.

The Anker PowerCore Fusion 5000 Portable Battery Pack and Charger plugs directly into the wall to charge. While it’s charging, you can use it as a charger for your other devices by plugging cables into it. So you can charge your phone as you charge the battery pack, saving time and freeing up an extra outlet. 

This 5000 mAh battery pack and wall charger has two ports so you can charge two devices at the same time.

The Anker PowerCore Fusion 5000 Portable Battery Pack and Charger is currently on sale at Amazon for $19.99.

AirTags

If your loved one is interested in tracking their keys, pets, luggage, purse, car, or other easily lost items, get them AirTags. These little disks can help you locate lost items and show you on a map where they are in real-time.

In the FindMy app on your iPhone, you can see where your AirTags are and make them play a sound, in case you’ve lost them between couch cushions.

AirTags are on sale at walmart.com for $24.98 each.

AirTag Holder

If you’re giving an AirTag to someone, consider getting them an AirTag holder as well. If you want to attach an AirTag to keys, a dog collar, or something else, you’ll need an accessory.

This 4-pack of DDJ Waterproof AirTag holders comes with an assortment of colors so you can easily identify your AirTags. Or keep one for yourself and give the others to friends. With four holders in the set, you have plenty of options.

These DDJ Waterproof AirTag Holders are currently on sale at Amazon for $8.79.

Towel Warmer

One of the most sublime joys in life is stepping out of the shower and into a warm towel. When we lived in the U.K., our bathroom had a towel warmer attached to the wall and I got quite spoiled by that luxury.

If your loved one doesn’t have a built-in towel warmer in their bathroom, get them a portable towel warmer. This handy towel warmer can be set to 15, 30, or 60 minutes to ensure that your towel is toasty when you finish your shower.

You can also use this warmer to heat your robes, sheets, and blankets during wintry weather.

The Live Fine Towel Warmer is available at Amazon in three colors to match your decor: white, gray, and black. The smaller towel warmer holds one bath sheet and costs $99.99. The larger towel warmer holds two bath sheets and costs $139.99.

Negative and Slide Converter

If your family history is filled with photos from the days of film, you can easily convert negatives and slides with the Kodak Slide and Scan. This handy device will convert negatives and slides into digital photo files.

Using an SD or SDHC card (not included) you can transfer your converted file photos onto your computer to share with friends, turn into prints, and share on social media. You can also edit your photos directly on the Slide and Scan after you convert them..

The Kodak Slide and Scan is available from Amazon, currently on sale for $179.99.

Hovercraft Golf Cart

Driving around a golf course isn’t nearly as cool as hovering across one. This Hovercraft Golf Cart can whiz around a golf course at up to 45 mph (72 kph), speeding up your game. It can even fly backwards up to 25 mph (40 kph).

No need to worry about bumpy terrain, this hovercraft can sail smoothly over the greens, as it hovers nine inches (22.86 cm) above the ground. This cart even hovers above the water, crossing ponds, lakes, and water hazards with ease.

You can invite three of your friends to join you for a round of golf they’ll never forget, as this cart holds up to four people and their clubs.

The Hovercraft Golf Cart is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $58,000. Trailer included.
