    25 Tech Accessories Reviewers Loved So Much They Bought Them For Other People

    So good, you'll be handing these products out like Oprah — you get a ring light, you get a ring light, everybody's getting ring lights.

    1. A container of car putty that's reusable and gets into all the nooks and crannies of your car. The crud and dust stick to the putty, resulting in a clean car that looks like it's been detailed. Easy AND fun, 'cause, like, who doesn't love playing with putty?

    It can also be used on your laptop keyboard and it smells like cherry blossoms! Store it in a cool, dry place so that it doesn't melt and get all gooey.

    Promising review: "I love this product. My car is finally clean now that I can get into all of those little areas I cannot clean with regular paper towels or cloths. I loved it so much I bought them as stocking stuffers and gifts for coworkers this Christmas. Great item!" —Emily

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

    2. A popular pair of wireless Bluetooth earbuds reviewers are saying are AirPod dupes *aaaand* they have 221,000+ five-star ratings. Cord-free, waterproof, and top-notch quality for a suuuuper reasonable price. 

    A single charge provides over six hours of usage, and the rechargeable case can have them fully charged in under two hours. 

    Promising review: "I bought these based on price. I wasn't sure if I would like wireless headphones or if they'd stay in my ears and I didn't want to drop major $$$ until I knew for sure. I figured for that price, why not. This brand is awesome!!!! Sound quality is on par with my regular headphones, battery life is amazing and overall durability is great. They come with a bunch of different soft pads for the ear part so you can find the ones that fit you best and keep them in your ears well. I love these headphones. I dropped one once, it was in the driveway for three days and still worked perfectly when I found it. I ended up buying multiple pairs of these as stocking stuffers. Can beat these for the price. I've had no connection issues either. I can get about 100ft from the device it's connected to before it drops. If you're thinking about it, do it. You wont be sorry." —Crystal I.

    Get them from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in five colors).

    3. Or a pair of wireless sleep headphones for anyone who needs a little white noise to sleep. Also great for traveling, especially in this cold weather! I can hear the soothing rain sounds now...sooo good.

    Promising reviews: "This is a really nice Bluetooth headband. I love the soft fabric, the ability to manipulate the headphones to the right spot, they stay in place, and the controls in front are easy to work. No problem connecting to my phone for workouts or listening at night. My husband's set from another company accidentally got washed, so he used mine and loved them so much I bought him his own. He said the charging connection was much better than the other brand's. They do go on sale from time to time so, but either way they are worth it." —Amber S.

    Get it from Amazon for $15.97+ (available in 15 colors). 

    4. A waterproof Bluetooth shower speaker so you can sing your heart out in the bath the way God intended. It can be fully immersed up to one meter for 30 minutes underwater so you can hit your Ariana Grande high notes. I swear in the shower I sound so good, then once I'm out my talent goes down the drain along with the water.

    Oh andddd you can take this hiking or camping in the rain or use it by the pool!

    Promising review: "I have had this product for over a year. It is absolutely perfect for showers. Incredible battery life, and great sound quality. I have never been happier with a product. It is a part of my daily life, and if it ever had any problems (which it hasn't yet), I would purchase another immediately and get the quickest shipping available. I bought some for my family for Christmas last year as well; it was a great feeling to buy a gift that I was already confident in. You will not regret this purchase. And for the price, there is no better deal on this website. Just wow. And I never write reviews. Very pleased with this product!" —Nicole Rossmango

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in six colors).

    5. rechargeable lighter because you HATE trying to light your candles and realizing that your lighter is dead. It's wind- and moisture-proof so if you have to use it outside, noooo problem. No more constantly having to buy lighters — get yourself a lighter that'll last you!

    gif of reviewer lighting lighter then lighting candle

    Promising reviews: "This lighter is so great. I saw it in a BuzzFeed article and wanted to give it a try — it is a must-have for candle lovers like myself. My boyfriend liked it so much that I bought him one of his own. I would purchase again and again! I also burned myself with the lighter and it feels like an electric shock so please be careful and don’t leave around your kiddies because they may think it’s a toy and accidentally shock themselves!" —Asia S.

    "I bought one for myself and have given them as gifts for several people. I keep one near my candles and never have to worry about lighting them. I like that it’s long enough to reach down inside candles as well." —britesongs

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in five colors).

    6. A wireless charging pad that'll charge your phone and earbuds even with the case on. So your fave bulky case that's such a pain to take off can simply be placed right on the little pad and your phone will charge up super quick!

    Amazon

    This baby can charge: the iPhone SE, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, Xs Max, XR, XS, X, 8, and 8 Plus *bare with me, a few more*; AirPods; and the Galaxy S20, S10, S9, S8, and Galaxy Note 10, 9, and 8.

    Promising review: "This is a great wireless charger. I have one at home and one at the office. Prior to buying the Anker wireless charger I was using a competitor brand. The other brand only lasted a couple of months. This has lasted a very long time. I purchased several of these as gifts." —Andrea

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two colors).

    7. six-outlet wall charger with two USB outlets in addition to the six plugs. It's even got a touch sensor to adjust the brightness of the night light on them. No more fumbling around in the dark trying to plug your charger in behind your bed. Let there be light!

    Reviewer turning the light on and off the charger with items plugged in
    Charger with several large plugs in it

    Promising review: "Very useful! I have bought three of these over the last year. The first was for travel, for the extra plug-ins and to charge our phones. The second was for my office, for easy access of charging my phone without unplugging anything — plus, the nightlight. I just bought another for my 90-year-old parents. They work all the time and are a perfect size to fit things without taking up too much space." —kathyk

    Get it from Amazon for $14.73.

    8. Or an outlet plug that has a timer so you can stop worrying about if you turned your flat iron off or not. Give yourself the peace of mind knowing that whatever you left plugged in that is worrying you is totally taken care of. If you get halfway to work and think "did I turn off the coffee maker?" this is 100% for you, babe. 

    A reviewer's crockpot plugged into the timer plug
    A reviewer's timed plug displaying the various time buttons to choose from

    This lifesaver of a gadget has six different timers (from 15 minutes to six hours) and is very easy to use. Just think about how convenient it'll be when you work eight hours but can still put your slow cooker pot roast on knowing that it'll for sure turn off in six hours. You hear that? That's the sound of your mind not convincing you that you left the space heater on again, because your timed outlet turns it off regardless. 

    Promising reviews: "Perfect to limit the overnight charging of cell phones or other devices. It has single button timer settings for up to six hours, I use it all the time. Perfect, simple, straightforward! I got it for my parents and bought more for myself." —Snowdog

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

    9. An audio adapter for anyone whose car *ahem, mine* doesn't have a Bluetooth pairing option. Muahahahaha, it does now! Take that car dealership, Bluetooth upgrade without needing to upgrade my vehicle, system, or car note. Hands-free calls, here we comeeee.

    It'll let you answer calls at the touch of a button, and is designed to easily let you skip or pause through songs.

    Promising review: "Searched online to find the best performing Bluetooth car adapter and this product was on the list. Ordered one to try it out and was VERY HAPPY with how well it worked. Ordered THREE more to give as gifts, and all three recipients are amazed by this product's performance. It pairs easily to any phone. I listen to Amazon Music, make phone calls and use GPS in my vehicle. Sound comes through vehicle speakers. Clear quality. One of my friends was planning to spend $200 plus to have a new system put into her vehicle so she could have Bluetooth capability. She bought this little device and saved herself over $180!! I HIGHLY recommend this product!" —MKerch

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in six colors).

    10. A pair of hooks for your AirPods so they don't slip out of your ear into the abyss to be lost forever. Look, AirPods are not cheap and losing one is enough to ruin your day, so go right ahead and add these babies to your cart.

    These also work great for wired EarPods!

    Promising review: "I love them. They work awesomely, amd don’t stretch due to putting them on and taking them off. I loved them so much I bought a set for my son and my girls and they're happy because now they can confidently jog with their AirPods without worrying about them falling out of their ears. I’ve used them to change the oil on my car and my AirPods did not fall out once. They didn’t fall out when I jogged either and when I went cycling. I recommend these without a doubt that you’ll be happy too." —halogiant

    Get a set of two pairs (one small, one large) from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three colors).

    11. A popular water-repellent laptop sleeve that also comes with a second smaller bag for your charger. Throw your laptop in your bag without worrying about a water bottle leak ruining your day and your device.

    Promising review: "I bought this for myself, loved it so much that I bought another one for my daughter. Besides looking nice, it protects my laptop perfectly and is water resistant." —Maggie Burbia

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 38 colors and 12.3"–16" sizes).

    12. An app-enabled 42-page Rocketbook Fusion reusable notebook with lined and grid pages, a planner, calendar, and brainstorming pages, as well as a compatible pen and cleaning cloth. No need to waste paper — get organized and have access to your plans through your devices since they're in your hand about 75% of the day. So easy!

    You can write on the pages the way you would a regular notebook, upload the page onto your devices, and wipe the notebook clean with water to use all over again. It works with writing utensils from the Pilot FriXion line.

    Promising review: "I've been looking for a paperless solution for work for some time now and a friend recommended the Rocketbook. After reading through reviews and talking to my friend, I decided to purchase the Rocketbook Fusion — for my needs, I thought the template pages would be very useful. I was super excited when the package arrived and immediately downloaded the app and set up my preferences. The setup process was quick and easy and I started using the notebook right away. Pages are very easy to clean and it was nice that a microfiber cloth was included with the notebook. I'm very happy with this purchase and already bought another Fusion notebook for a friend's birthday. HIGHLY recommend!!!" —Alycia Lewis

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two sizes and 14 colors).

    13. A PhoneSoap to sanitize your phone, keys, wallet, jewelry, eyeglasses, and more. It can also charge your phone as it cleans it! This gadget kills up to 99.99% of bacteria with UV light.

    Promising review: "This has proven to be a great purchase. I have also purchased two others as gifts. It matches my bedroom and sits on my vanity. Looks great with the decor. More than that it is very convenient to clean my makeup brushes, nail files, etc. If it fits you can use it in this Phone Soap. It was a great purchase and I am seriously considering the larger version. I've had this almost two years with zero issues." —IslandSandy

    Get it from Amazon for $59.95 (available in six colors).

    14. A 4-in-1 wireless charging station that charges your iPhone super fast. How are we supposed to get through a day without our electronics' batteries at 100%? And who has time or patience for a low battery? Get yourself a 4-in-1 charger and quickly charge all of your Apple products with no problem.

    Promising review: "I love the fact that I don’t have to have wires dangling everywhere, this looks so much nicer. I use it to charge my iPhone 12 and my AirPods 2. It’s easy to find at night versus having to look for cords to plug them into. I liked it so much I bought another one for my wife. I would buy this product again." —Chuck D.

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in three colors).

    15. An adjustable phone and tablet stand so you can FaceTime for hours without having to also hold the phone for hours. It's anti-slip with a weighted base for stability and maximum protection. Honestly, I immediately thought about struggling to prop up my phone for videos. Morning skincare routine videos coming soon.

    Promising review: "Perfect holder. I use this every day. The height is great for face time phone calls. I bought another one for a friend who was excited about mine. Great buy!" —Kerry Magee

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in nine colors).

    Promising review: "I took this to the pool for a few hours and then to dance for the week and never recharged it. At less than 50% volume I could hear it above the crowds and had to turn it down to under 30% volume while practicing in a hallway. Super impressed! I even purchased a second one for my sister who travels with me regularly so that we would have a backup!" —TNWorkNMom

    Get it from Amazon for $16.75 (available in 12 Star Wars characters). 

    17. A travel laptop backpack to protect your tech from water damage and theft. There's a USB charger outside of the backpack and a charging cable inside, a separate laptop compartment, and lots of soft padding for your back and shoulders. They really said *wow, what would the perfect backpack be like* then created a work of art.

    Promising reviews: "Love this backpack, especially for traveling. I own one and and have purchased three as gifts. It has plenty of compartments and is holding up well." —MB

    "I love everything about this bag. Favorite features: all the pockets, the storage, the amount of space, and the fact that this bag has a bottom that allows it to stand up. This is a huge upgrade to my hiking backpack that doubled as a work backpack. It's stylish and professional, lightweight, and sturdy. My only wish is that it had a waist strap to help distribute the weight when the bag is full/heavy. Maybe the next iteration will. I still would highly recommend this bag to anyone of any age who carries a laptop, chargers, and other essentials like a small umbrella, gum, books, folders, a water bottle, etc. It all fits nicely and has its own place. Last, I very much like the secret pocket on the back/waistband area for a wallet or other valuable item." —NSLacy

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two sizes and 12 colors).

    18. ring light to up your TikTok game and get the lighting you need for bomb pictures and videos. Your pics will look like the top photo from America's Next Top Model. Move over Bella Hadid.

    Promising review: "I love the product so much that I bought it twice, once for myself and another as a gift. I'll be ordering more as the holidays come along. This light is so easy to take with you or just use in one space. For anything from make up to perfect lighting for filming." —Avonna O.

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99.

    19. A cordless portable charger you'll absolutely love because of how convenient it is. This would come in handy when power goes out, or when you're out and about and your phone battery gets low. It's only the size of a tube of lipstick and supports AirPods and iPhones from 6–14 Pro Max.

    gif of reviewer holding the pink charger and showing its built-in lightning cable

    Promising review: "I bought this charger for the first time as a gift for my kids. I have used portable chargers for years and the cord gets really annoying. It's difficult to take pictures while holding the phone and the portable corded charging bank but these are amazing! They plug directly into my phone and there is no cord! The charge lasts a very long time and charges my phone quickly. We liked them so much that I bought another one for my dad for Father's Day. Definitely recommend!" —S. Wheeler

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in six colors).

    20. An Amazon Fire TV Stick you can hook up to your TV and stream your favorite shows with. If you love a good binge of an awesome show or watching movies, you'll absolutely love your Fire Stick.

The picture quality is brilliant and sound is perfect. I give it 5 stars all the way, I've bought a total of seven of these for my family members over the years and they love 'em and use them on a daily basis. Fan for life" —Jason M.

    Promising review: "I needed a case for my phone because we were going to a waterpark and I didn't want to carry my phone around. The lanyard was perfect. I had no issues being able to use my phone for photos, video and checking other apps when the case was on my phone. I loved it so much I bought two more for my in-laws that are going to Niagara Falls. Highly recommend." —4mom74

    Promising review: "Love this belt. Had an armband to hold my phone while doing morning walks but it pinched and kept slipping unless I cut off my circulation! This is great. Fits nicely under my T-shirts but you could wear it over if you prefer. Fits my iPhone 7+ no problem. Also little pockets to hold a credit card or some cash. Bought another one for hubby and called the supplier for an extension (he's 6'2", a big guy) — also no problem. Arrived promptly. We love these! Just great for hands free walking while listening to music." —karyanne

    Get it from Amazon for $7.92+ (available in eight colors).

    23. Or a 180 degree rotatable wristband phone holder with a universal strap to fit just about any phone. Perfect for hiking, biking and many other high-intensity activities.

    Promising review: "I love this! It goes around my wrist so I have easy access to the phone while walking. I don't have to mess with getting it out of a pocket or worry about wearing something with pockets. I love it so much I bought one for my son. The rubber part that secures the phone stretches to fit an iPhone 6s Plus with a Speck case on it. Great buy for the money!" —Jeanette M Hager

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99.

    24. A set of adhesive cable clips to keep your charging cords neat and organized. Stick it onto your desk (or whatever surface you'd like — glass, wall, wood, etc.) and boom, no tangled up cords everywhere.

    Promising review: "I originally bought a set of BlueKeyWorld’s Cable Clip Organizers due to the sale price and my frustrations keeping a set of charging cords organized. I found them easy to use, and they do a great job of keeping the cables handy at my 'charging station'. I liked them so much, I got myself a second set and bought two more sets as stocking stuffers for Christmas gifts. If you are always trying to find the end of your charging cables, this simple product will make your life much easier." —2k2

    25. key alarm so that losing your keys is NEVER the reason you're late again. If you're a bit forgetful and lose your keys pretty much on a daily basis, you'll think this alarm is Heaven-sent. It is both iOS- and Android-compatible, is water-resistant, and can find your key out of Bluetooth range by showing you — through an app — your last Bluetooth tracked location. This is gonna be a life changer, friends.

    Promising review: "I bought this for my sister because her keys are always wandering away when she isn’t looking lol. She is also one of those ‘I don’t like tech stuff’ people. I walked her through setting up the Tile, remember: she doesn’t like technology but easy set up for sure! What’s even better than my sis finding her keys? Finding her phone, and this nifty little tile did that too. Indeed, she was so pleased with her Tile that she purchased a two-pack for some friends. I absolutely recommend this product. The fact that it’s also Alexa compatible is also a huge plus. UPDATE: The couple that sis bought these for love them. The Mr. is constantly using it to find keys and wallet and the Mrs. couldn’t be happier." —Jami F.
