Small, ergonomic cable boosters
The new generation of car cable boosters provides great output. And yes, they’re as small as your smartphone. They’re so practical, they fit easily into the glove compartment and can serve you well in many ways.
In addition to boosting your battery, they’re equipped with a USB cable with three connectors for charging smartphones, tablets, GPS, etc. They even have with a flashlight. As its price is quite high, roughly $180, think of this as a group gift. Surprise your family with this original, practical present!
There are a variety of devices to help you easily find your keys or smart phone. I also recently received a gift that works particularly well. Bought on Amazon, the iTag sound locator offers a bit more.
In addition to being compatible with all iPhones, iPads and android phones, it’s designed to help you find your keys, phone or tablet, but also to take pictures and record selfie incognito conversations. Through its application, available at the App Store and Google Play, it even identifies where you parked. Finally, this gadget is very easily to use and super- economical. It retails for between $9 and $13, depending on the selected template.
System for mounting your phone
Universal and discreet, the Logitech mounting system is also very convenient. It’s extremely compact and fits any car. A small 35 mm clip is inserted into any type of car air vent, and may be integrated into all smart phones.
Install themounting unit, attach the smart phone and there you have it! You’re ready to activate your GPS or scroll to view photos. It’s an ideal gift for Christmas stockings, at a price of about $30.
