1. A pack of braided lightning cords that can actually go the distance. They range from three to ten feet long and are made of extra-durable nylon fibre, so they won't bend and shred like other phone cables.
2. A pack of screen protectors that'll save your phone screen from cracking if you drop it. They're made of tempered glass, making them extra durable. They're also super thin, so they won't interfere with the sensitivity of your touchscreen.
"The installation process took a bit longer than I thought it would. The screen protectors came with an alcohol wipe to clean and disinfect my phone, a cloth to dry it, a sticker to catch dust, and a guiding edge to help me line up the screen protector with my phone. AND it comes with a link to an entire video that guided me through the process. The screen protector took all the blows and when I couldn't stand looking at the cracks on it, I just peeled it off and replaced it with a new one. My actual phone screen is still in mint condition, and I'm free to be a messy, phone-dropping klutz without dealing with the consequences." —Kaysey Davis

3. A light ring that'll attach to your phone, so you can shine bright like a diamond in all your selfies. You can also use it on your tablet or laptop to give you more light while you video chat. It has three brightness levels and a layer of gel on the back to keep it from scratching your devices.
4. An Echo Show 8 that'll become the most versatile device in your home. It's basically a miniature television, speaker, tablet, and voice assistant device all rolled into one. And it's small enough that you can keep it on your desk or bedside table when you're not using it.
5. An eco-friendly notebook that'll replace all your flimsy, disposable ones. You can fill this one to the brim with notes, scan and store digital copies of your notes using the Rocketbook app, and wipe your notebook completely clean again using a microfibre cloth.
6. A charging station that'll save your devices from ever hitting 1%. It has six USB ports that'll fit any style of charging cable and seven detachable dividers to keep your gadgets neat and tidy while they're plugged in.
7. A pack of cord clips that'll detangle all the cords around your computer. The clips come in three sizes (single, double or triple) and have sticky acrylic gum on the bottom, so you can place them where you'd like.
"The cord situation in my home office was driving me bonkers — between accidentally pulling down my entire monitor and cords getting caught in the wheels of my chair, it was becoming a borderline safety hazard. These little guys have made it so much easier to not only locate which cable I'm looking for, but also keep them off the dang floor. The sticky backing is pretty strong, which makes for an easy application. You get ten varying sizes in a pack, so I put one of these bad boys in every room in my house. Out of sight, out of mind." —May Ning

9. A super-sturdy headphone mount that'll fit right under your table and keep your bulky headset from cluttering your desk. It can hold two pairs and has three USB ports, so you can charge other devices, too.
10. A wireless charger that's a faster and more efficient way to charge your phone than plugging it in. It's compatible with most smartphones and will charge them, even when the case is on. There's a special coating on the surface to keep your device from slipping off while it's charging.
"I already own an Anker portable block charger, and it's served me well, so I knew when I ordered this, it would be a great charging option. It's great to be able to pick my phone up while I'm lying in bed without using another hand to disconnect a cable. It's also small enough that the phone takes up most of the pad, which is good for aesthetics. My only caveat: you have to make sure your phone is centered on the pad and the light is on, otherwise it won't charge. (This happened to me last night, but that might be a phone issue vs. a charger issue.) Not all phones will work with wireless charging, so make sure you check compatible phones before purchasing." —Kyle Richmond

11. An Echo Dot speaker that'll become your personal assistant. Alexa can set alarms, answer questions, play music, and check the weather. All you have to do is say her name!
12. And an Echo Dot holder that'll keep your speaker off your desk or countertop, so it won’t get wet or take up space. It works with both horizontal and vertical outlets, and there's room at the back to store the cord.
13. A flexible phone mount that'll clip to your bed, desk, or breakfast tray, so you won't have to hold up your phone while you watch TV or video chat.
"The mount is wide enough to clip onto my headboard, and I can use it on different pieces of furniture in my house, like my desk or shelf. Plus, the holder stretches open really wide, so it'll fit any phone. I can rotate the holder from a vertical to a horizontal position and the flexible neck makes it easy to change the position of my phone to any angle." —Kaysey Davis

15. A genius Tile Mate that uses Bluetooth technology to keep tabs on your devices. You can attach one to your wallet, camera, keys — really, anything you don’t want to lose — and use the free Tile phone app to track them.

Get it from Amazon Canada for $29.95+. Also available in packs of two and four.
16. A pack of thumb grips that'll decorate the joysticks on your Nintendo Switch or Switch Lite with a pair of pawesome prints. They're made with soft silicone that'll keep your fingers from feeling sore after playing a few hours of Animal Crossing.
17. A Fitbit Versa 2 watch that'll become your favourite workout companion. It can track your heart rate, display your calendar, call, and receive text notifications. Plus, it'll give you little reminders every hour, if you're falling behind on your step goal for the day.

20. A handy Popsocket phone grip for anyone who always has their device in their hand. It'll prevent you from dropping your device and make it easier to hold your phone, tablet, or Kindle for a long period of time. Plus, the acetate pattern will add a little sparkle to your case.
"I read before going to sleep every night using my much-beloved Kindle Paperwhite. The problem is, sometimes I lie on my back and....drop my Kindle on my face. Frankly this happens when I'm falling asleep, but also when I'm just reclining and reading on the cough. So after I got a PopGrip for my phone, I thought...why don't I stick one on my KINDLE?! Long story short, it was a great idea, 10/10 recommend. I haven't dropped it on my face SINCE. Also, as a lefty, I find holding my Kindle with one hand and being able to turn the pages very annoying. My right hand is weaker and gets tired, but my left hand can't turn the pages on the right side. The PopGrip makes gripping with my right hand and turning the pages way easier. Pop one of these pretty bbs on your favorite device — it'll make things just a little bit easier." —Maitland Quitmeyer

24. An Amazon Fire TV Stick, so you can stream all your favourite shows and movies on your TV. It's enabled with Alexa, so you can find the show you're looking for without even reaching for the remote.
25. A phone mount for your car that has a magnetized surface (instead of clamps or cradles) to keep your phone from falling. Its face can be rotated in any direction, so you can easily adjust or turn the mount to the perfect position.
26. A little phone loop that'll save you from dropping your device. You can slide your fingers through to hold your phone more comfortably. And since it'll lay flat, you won't have to take off your case to charge your phone a wireless base or magnetized car mount.
27. A UV sanitizer that'll sterilize your phone in a hot minute. You can use it for other small items, too (like your keys, headphones, and glasses).
28. A small Bluetooth speaker that'll clip onto your sun visor, so you can answer every phone call and keep your hands free. It's easy to set up, and once you pair the speaker with your phone, it'll automatically connect every time you get in the car.

32. A double-ended cleaning brush that'll keep your keyboard AND screen in tip-top shape. One side has a microfibre pad to remove fingerprints and smudges from your screen, while the other side has a soft rectractable brush that'll keep your keys free of dust and food.
"I have this at my desk in the office (and now at my kitchen table workspace for WFH) and love it! It has a microfibre tip on one side and the WORLD'S SOFTEST retractable bristles on the other. Like, I use this thing more as a fidget toy and for petting the bristles than for cleaning. My laptop is so gross that it's a little past hope, but this has tools have definitely helped make clearing out crumbs and erasing smudges easier and cleaning my computer more fun. It's extra handy for the rest of my desk and swiping away post-lunch debris!" — Katy Herman
