    19 Tech Thingamajigs And Accessories I, Frankly, Do Not Understand How You've Been Living Your Life Without

    Sign me the heck up for all of these.

    1. A surge-protecting outlet bank with six three-prong outlets and three USB ports so you'll *actually* have enough plug space for all your doodads. It'll streamline your charging situation and save you from having to create a web of cords around your office, which is a major win in my book.

    2. A wireless transmitter that'll come in handy on flights. It'll magically connect your earbuds to your seat's screen, so you won't have to remember to pack your ancient corded headphones (or sit through eight hours of silence or baby screams).

    3. A smart plug that you can control with your voice. You can even schedule it to turn on automatically, so you can fire up your coffee maker or fan in the a.m. without having to press any buttons.

    4. An acrylic monitor riser that has four built-in USB ports so you can charge your devices at your desk without loading up your computer with wires. It'll also keep your monitor at eye-level, so you won't be straining your neck all day long.

    5. A pair of noise-cancelling Apple AirPods Max if you think earbuds are, to quote Hilary Duff, 🎶 so yesterday 🎶. Reviewers say they're the best wireless headphones they've ever used and that the padding is so comfy, they can wear them all day long without irritation.

    6. A pair of skid-proof laptop feet that'll magnetize to the bottom of your device and keep it propped up on an angle so it won't overheat. Reviewers say they're great for generating airflow and that they help improve their posture, too.

    7. A sunrise-simulating clock that's much less annoying than a beeping alarm. If you live in a basement apartment (or have a super dark bedroom), this will make waking up a lot easier.

    8. A portable Bluetooth speaker with colour-changing lights that has killer sound quality and is totally waterproof. Because it won't get messed up if it takes a dip, it's the perfect companion for outdoor adventures.

    9. A pair of memory foam wrist rests that'll keep your joints comfy and supported. Their bottoms are made of grippy rubber, meaning you won't have to worry about them migrating around your desk.

    10. A peachy AirPods Pro case to keep your earbuds safe. It has a cutout in the bottom that you can easily weave your cord through and it's compatible with wireless chargers, too, so you'll never have to remove the case.

    11. A digital clock that'll display the time, date, week, and indoor temperature. Thanks to the two USB ports on the back, you can use it to charge your devices, too.

    12. A power bar that's slim enough to slide behind your monitor. This one has 12 three-prong outlets and two USB ports, so you can plug in all your gadgets at once.

    13. A wireless charger so you won't have to mess around with your swamp of tangled cords to recharge the battery on your devices. It's case-friendly and won't slip around thanks to the grippy base.

    14. A portable card reader that's compatible with both MicroSD and SD cartridges. Reviewers love that it transfers files at lightning speed and say that it's a must-have for any photographer.

    15. A jazzy light-up lightning cable that'll save you from saying the words, "where's my phone?" ever again. When your phone is charging it'll shine bright like a diamond so you can hunt down your mobile in the darkest of rooms.

    16. An Apple Watch SE that'll let you know when you need to stand, track how much exercise you've done over the course of your day, and help you set and reach fitness goals. And, if you add the fitness+ app, you'll have access to at-home classes (the videos will play on your phone and your watch will automatically start tracking).

    17. A standing desk riser that'll easily adjust to keep your computer at eye level, whether you're seated or standing. It's large enough to fit a laptop and two monitors, and has a dropped tray for your keyboard and mouse.

    18. A vertical ergonomic mouse that's shaped like a shark's fin and will be way easier on your hands than the traditional style. Reviewers love that it puts minimal strain on their wrists and say it performs like more expensive models.

    19. And finally, a strip of stick-on LED lights that'll backlight your monitor and make your office feel like the coolest club in town. Not only do they look rad, but they'll also alleviate eye strain caused by differences in picture brightness.
