Charge It! Go Eco With the Bamboo Charging Station
If you're rolling solo, it's likely that you won't need a gadget charging station that holds more than a few mobile gadgets that you use daily (i.e., your phone, iPod or MP3 player, and point-and-shoot camera), so why spend your hard earned money on something you don't need?
Instead, check out the eco friendly and geek chic Bamboo Charging Station that has been marked down from $46 to $30. Cool thing is, the station can live on your desk, or hang on your wall to maximize space and create a modern decorative feature on your wall, even when your gadgets aren't being juiced.
Contactbox: Love It or Leave It?
This past year, clean contactboxes popped up all over the place — from fancy wall-mounted boxes to simpler smart tech desk boxes from Pottery Barn.
This Contactbox ($92) by designer Anna Falkenmark keeps cords nice, neat, and out of the way, but it does stand out as a unit.
Would you use one around your home and office, or do you prefer old-fashioned cord organizing methods?
Wall-Mounted Contactbox: Out of the Way and Into My Heart
With all the electronics and cords at my house, I really appreciate good-looking charging stations. Last year, designer Anna Falkenmark introduced her Contactbox, which received mixed results from our corner of the world.
Personally, I think it's great, but — and this is my problem with pretty much every charging station — where do you keep it?
Cell Phone Contactbox: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
I like the idea of keeping my cell phone cords nice and tidy but I don't know if I'd want to use a big box to hide them. Discussed on 7Gadgets, this Contactbox will hide your chargers and electric cords and keep them well protected from children and pets, but I'd rather use something half this size. What I do like about it is the fact that it includes a six way multiple plug and you can easily pull cords through the top to attach to your gadgets.
Kangaroom Charging Station: Mount Up
I keep finding charging stations that I think are "The One," but what I really keep gravitating toward is the idea of a wall-mounted station. Though I thought I met my match in the Wall-Mounted Contactbox, I'm just not willing to spend that much on a box that holds my gadgets while they charge ($144 after shipping, dontcha know).
Luckily, I found the also-mountable Kangaroom charging station, which is not just rad for its $40 price tag, but it also comes in navy, black, and white.
