Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in two colors).
2. Or a cute portable charger that plugs directly into your phone so you can say goodbye to carrying around an extra charging cable!
Promising review: "The holy grail of portable chargers!!! I was traveling to Disney for vacation and knowing me, I would drain my battery with just taking pictures alone. I wanted a portable battery but didn’t want a carry a cord either, so I was excited when I found this little baby! It does exactly as described, pretty pink color, and I get one full charge of battery for my iPhone 11. Get it, you will not be disappointed!" —Meghan Doble
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in six colors).

4. A backpack with a handy dandy USB port so you can quickly charge up your devices when you're on-the-go. Portable chargers are great, but carrying them is SO annoying.

Just remember you'll have to supply your own power bank!
Promising review: "First, I LOVE the color of this bag. It's so vibrant, yet it's classy. I have traveled with this bag a few times, and it's roomy enough to carry my laptop, back-up chargers, a notebook and even some personal items. I really like that it comes with a matching wristlet." —Jen

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in six colors).
7. Or a 3-in-1 wireless charger — now you can just set your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods in their dedicated spots and rest assured that your devices will be fully charged for once.
Promising review: "I love this charging station! I‘m one of those people who has all the Apple things, so being able to charge my phone, watch, and AirPod Pros at the same time is a total game changer for me. I can’t even guess how many times I’ve misplaced my AirPods because I didn’t have a dedicated place for them. Now there’s no question where they are every morning. Not only that, but the charger is pretty fast (especially for the watch and earbuds) and the station itself is easy to set up and use." —Anonymous
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in five colors).
8. OR!! A wireless charging tray you'll want to keep next to you at all times. When your smartphone, Apple Watch, or AirPods are running low on juice, simply plop them on the felt pad to easily power them up.
Promising review: "It is simple and stylish and fits in perfectly with the boho accessories on my entryway bench. Great for minimalistic design as well.

Not only will it help organize your tangled mess of charging cords, it'll also give you six spacious slots for all your most used devices. It's a must-have if you also always forget to charge your iPad and Kindle.
Promising review: "I was expecting something a little bigger, a little bulkier. What I got was a pleasant little package that packs a cool punch. You have to assemble the plastic separators but once that's done and you've plugged it in, there are some really cool features. The first was unexpected: There are six USB-to-iPhone cables included in the box! The second cool feature is the plastic separating shelves light up. it's really attractive. The best part about the lights however, is that they TURN OFF when your device is fully charged. How cool is that? I bought this to use in my bedroom at night for my kids to plug in their devices before bed. It's not too bright to disturb my sleep (but it is across the room). I am very pleased with this product and would definitely recommend!"—Morgan Hanzlik
Get it from Amazon for $56.99
12. A 10-foot lightning cable that lets you charge your iPhone and iPad from basically anywhere, because there's nothing more annoying than realizing your phone's about to die and you're nowhere near an outlet.
Promising review: "You can never go wrong with extra long charging cables! My wife and I use these for charging our phones on our nightstands so we can use the phones in bed without over stretching shorter cables. The braided cables are nice and the red connectors add a little pop of color. We’ve had other brands of cables fall apart at the connector in a short amount of time but these seem pretty solid." —Mr. D
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five colors and four other sizes).
13. A portable handheld fan to keep you cool when you're running errands. Oh, and did I mention it doubles as a flashlight and a power bank?! You'll basically never want to leave home without this.
Promising review: "I can't say enough about this fan. I love in Florida, and spend a lot of time outdoors and at Disney. I'm a polar bear. Always hot. I've bought a lot of different kinds of little fans, and this one outshines them all. It's quiet, powerful, battery last all day. Even has a flashlight, and is a power bank. For the price, you honestly can't beat it. Trust me. I've tried them all. I liked it so much, I got another one because every one was always wanting to use it." —N. Rosa
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five colors).

It powers my cordless phone, my light pad, my Cpap and two cell phone chargers. Wow. This puts everything in one place for me. No more having something in the room come unplugged. If you have a lot of electronics in a small place, you need this power cube!!" —Martina Poole JDP

15. A dual-port USB power brick that also doubles as a portable charger, so you can just grab it on your way out of the door!
Promising review: "At first I was a bit skeptical that a charger like this would really have the power capacity to charge my iPhone 11 and/or my iPad. It made me a believer after the first couple of days of charging on a trip out of the US. It charges our phones very quickly and can charge two iPhone 11s twice before it needs any additional charge. It can power a device while it is plugged into the wall charging itself too! This would be a great gift for anyone that travels frequently or as an emergency charger." —Dewayne R. Blair
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors).
16. A set of cable organizers to stop all of your charging cords from becoming a tangled pile on your floor. No more frantically searching for your charger!

Get it from Amazon for $19.59+ (available in seven colors).
20. Or an alarm clock with a wireless charging pad on top so you'll always have a reminder to charge your phone before you hit the hay.
Promising review: "I've been looking for a bedroom clock so I don't have to pick up my phone every time I want to know the time. I wanted something a little different and this wooden clock fit the bill. Not only does it clearly display the time (I leave mine on the lowest of the five brightnesses), it charges my iPhone 8 phone, and looks like a piece of neatly cut and finished wood rather than a plastic alarm clock. Plus my phone is easy to find since it's charging right on top of the clock." —David
Get it from Amazon for $27.98+ (available in three colors).
21. A six-outlet wall charger, because all outlets should have room for at least six plugs at this point. This even has two extra USB ports and a night light so you and your fam can truly feel like you're living in 3008.
