Top 5 Practical Gifts
1) Adhesive Collapsible Laptop Stand

The adhesive foldable laptop stand offers maximum comfort and productivity no matter where you work. Reusable adhesive attaches to your system or case in seconds, and the ultra-thin, low-profile design quickly unfolds and adjusts to the correct angle, preventing painful neck and shoulder pain.
2) Loopit Tangle-Free Earbud Cord

A shake is all it takes for Loopit headphones to untangle themselves. Magnets connect the earbuds and audio jack, sidestepping the threat of tangled wires. Use the magnets as a clasp and you can wear the headphones like a cord necklace—and easily remove it when you need to switch from an accessory to a phone call or listening to music.
3) ORBIT™ iPhone Outlet Cord Organizer

ORBIT™ is the perfect pocket-sized companion for your iPhone. With an inventive use of space, ORBIT™ organizes the Apple 5W adapter and one-meter charge cord inside a slim, portable disk while protecting the electronic components from stress. When it’s time to charge your iPhone, ORBIT™ attaches to the power adapter so your iPhone is held safely near the outlet and off the floor or countertop.
4) Water Bottle Humidifier

A water bottle humidifier makes it easy to add moisture to the air in your space, wherever that space might be. The compact, USB-powered design fits onto most standard water bottles and is suited to work in small areas (think desk or bedside table) or while you’re traveling. Features like light modes, adjustable spray, and a timer help set the just-right scene. You can even add essential oils to the water.
5) Clip-On Bucket Handles

These bucket handles are reliable, reusable, and won’t interfere with lids or liners. Clip them onto a three- or five-gallon bucket to equally distribute weight and easily haul a load when you’re working in the yard or DIY-ing. The handles snap together for seamless storage when they’re not on carrying duty.
