What it is:
So you're stumped for a gift for your gadget-crazy friend. After all, they've already got every geegaw and electronic doodad that money can buy. It's next to impossible to get them a great gift, since they're almost sure to buy it for themselves the very instant it comes out. Fear not, there is a solution. Let me paint a picture for you: Your gadgetty friend, on their hands and knees, crawling around under their desk, searching in vain for one last open plug on their power strip, one last port to charge their latest gizmo. Does this sound familiar? Yeah, we thought so. Luckily, there is a solution, a gadget so simple it may have been overlooked by your technophile friend. The Power Station charges up to three gadgets at the same time, all in one convenient location and all without the crazed octopus of cords that usually slithers around their desk. It only needs one AC outlet to charge all three devices, so you can give your buddy's power strip a much needed break. If you're buying for a serious gadget addict, you may want to consider getting a pair of them.
Why we love it:
Sometimes the best gadgets are the simplest ones, and this simple solution is sure to save your gadgetty buddy from another afternoon spent crawling around searching for a power outlet.
Who we'd give it to:
Gadget fiends, programmers and other tech workers, neat freaks and organization lovers.
Where to get it:
From
T. Shipley for a well-organized $24.95
