Cable Management Sleeve

Jackery Bolt External Battery Charger
We use our smartphones constantly, so it’s no surprise that our quality of life is directly tied to battery life. Whether you’re texting, looking up directions, or just going to the bathroom, the last thing you need is to be cut off from your portal to everything. Buying a new phone is the best way to solve these problems, but if you’re looking for a more affordable solution, an external battery charger is the way to go.

Heated Butter Knife
Imagine the wonderful taste of warm melted butter evenly spread across your morning toast. Sounds great right? The reality is likely far less satisfying. Lumps of cold butter hastily smeared against the surface probably hits a lot closer to home for most people. A heated butter knife provides a better way to spread that yellow deliciousness.

Magic Toilet Motion Activated Nightlight
Abandoning the comfort of your bed in the night to grope your way to the bathroom is an arduous task. Once you get there you can either blind yourself with harsh bathroom lights or risk completely missing the bowl. A glowing toilet may seem like a frivolous bit of bathroom bling, but that soft glow in the dead of night might just be a luxury we all deserve.
You can pick up the Magic Toilet light for just $9 on Amazon.
Porkfolio the Smart Piggy Bank
Change can be a hassle in and of itself, so putting those extra coins in a cute little piggy bank can be very helpful. How do you keep track of how much you have though? You could always dump its contents onto the counter and start sorting, but unless you have a few free hours to put towards a menial task, that isn’t the best option. This little piggy takes the guesswork out of all your piggy banking with an app to help you keep track.
You can pick up Porkfolio the smart pig for just $19 on Amazon or check out these other unnecessary smart gadgets.
Cool Touch Microwave Bowl
Microwaves are great. The ability to heat up food almost instantly is a luxury we probably don’t deserve; however, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t still come with problems. Nuking your leftovers may seem like a good idea until you burn yourself trying to remove the bowl from that stupid radiation box. With the Cool Touch microwave bowl, you can grab your food without fear of 3rd-degree burns.
You can pick up this microwave bowl for just $12 on Amazon.
Automatic Watering Bulbs
Let’s be honest, keeping a plant alive is a lot harder than you’d think. They require constant watering and have a tendency to wilt whenever they feel neglected, or are neglected. Watering takes time, though — time that could be used for much more exciting things such as Netflix or napping. These automatic watering bulbs do all of the hard work for you, just fill them water, plug it into the planter, and get back to those leisure activities.
You can pick up a 3-pack for just $13 on Amazon.
